I have mSecure 3.50 and Comodo CIS 6.2.282872.2847 with database version 16475 installed on my Windows XP pc and Windows 7 laptop. Recently, when I try to run mSecure on my pc I have started getting the following message: “mSecure for Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close. …” and asking me to send an Error Report to Microsoft. I have added the mSecure executable as a trusted file, but still it will not run unless I turn off CIS. On my laptop mSecure runs without any issues. Any help that could help me to resolve this would be appreciated.
Please make sure there are no leftovers of security programs you had installed in the past. A possible left over can cause all sort of “strange effects”. Please run clean up tools for all security programs you had in the past. A list can be found here at the Eset website: ESET Knowledgebase .
My Laptop has Windows 7. A couple of months ago I had to do a fresh install of Windows XP on my PC. Comodo CIS is the only security program that I’ve installed since that reinstall. After the reinstalll, until recently, mSecure ran without incident.
I reinstalled windows on April 18. I would have installed CIS on either the 18th or possibly on thev19th. According to your website you released version 6.1.275152.2801 on April 17. I assume that would have been the version that I downloaded. CiS and Windows both did an update just prior to my realizing that mSecure would no longer run with CIS running. However, I do not know if the CIS update what just a database update or a program update, although I think it was the latter and i see that you released version 6.2.282872.2847 on June 19 which would be, I think, about when I started having an issue. All CIS program updates since the initial install have been done through the CIS.
Killswitch will not run on my PC. When I click on it, it gives the appearance that it is going to start and then it terminates without any messages. This is an issue that I’ve know about for a bit, but have ignored, It works finds on my laptop.
I disabled the AV. It made no difference. I then turned Auto Sandbox off. It made no difference. I then tried turning off “Detect Installers and Show privilege elevation alerts” and WOOOOT, it fixed the problem! I’ve now re-enabled the AV and turned the Auto Sandbox back on. I assume that it is safe to leave the Detect Installer …" off? Also, for curiosity’s sake I checked my laptop, and it has “Detect installers …” enabled.
As for your other question, I did have mSecure and a version of CIS installed and they worked together without incident. However, I cannot tell you what version it was. Prior to the Windows reinstall I had been relying on my laptop for quite awhile.
My celebration was premature. Last night msecure was working after I disabled “Detect installers …”, but this morning I am back to the same situation. I have repeated the steps that took last night without success.
