CIS and Defragmenting... (v3.8.64263.468)

Comodo Internet Security - CIS Resolved/Outdated Issues - CIS
#1

On my Vista system I noticed that the “Analysis” and “Defragmentation” process crawls to a very slow pace to a point I have to stop it out of sheer annoyance when CIS is installed (If I remember correctly, I had observed the same problem a while ago when I was experimenting with the older version of CIS). While this is not a problem at all, I am trying to bring any issues to the attention of the awesome guys of Comodo :slight_smile:

System Details:
CIS Version: 3.8.64263.468
Defrag program: Perfectdisk Professional 10, build 93 (current)
Vista Home Premium with SP1
2 GB RAM

Yea I noticed that defragging is slow too. Somebody mentioned turning off the AV befire defragging might help. Haven’t tried it though.

#3

For ppl experiencing this bug, try disabling real time scanning.

not sure what causes it but seems to be mostly vista x64 users

#4

Thanks, I will try that and post my results. Just so you know, my Vista is not x64.

Update: Bingo! Temporarily disabling Antivirus is the key. Doing so made it defrag normal speed.

My tip is not to use Perfectdisk, I experienced the same problem. Here are a few of the best ones and are free to boot:

Or another good paid one is Diskeeper

Hope thiis helps.

Techsupportalert tells you how to get Diskeeper Lite V9 for free here.

I use this version and I see no slowdowns with CIS.

#7

It’s a known bug and effects several defragmentation programs. Temporarily disabling the AV shield is the only workaround.

#8

i hope this issue gets sorted. Are there any known work arounds to get the AV to ignore the defrager?

#9

Yes. Turn it off.
