Please make this hard drive scanning that CB does an opt-in feature, and provide a way to disable it completely. Every time I boot my computer, this thing slows my computer for up to half an hour as it scans my hard drives incessantly.
But it doesn’t end there. Even after the annoying post-boot scanning, navigating folders is more sluggish, as “Comodo SynchronizationService” is doing something every now and then. Additionally, if I launch CB and leave it running, it keeps trashing my hard drive accessing C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\software.LOG for no apparent reason. I used Microsoft Process Monitor to verify this. All this makes CB practically intolerable, and I have to uninstall it.
I don’t need CB thrashing my hard drives to locate media and documents. I can only imaging how much worse things would be if I actually enabled antivirus software.
Thanks

Minor bug 1: default COS backup target path is not a COS path.
Minor bug 2: pressing Back button at backup target will reset the COS path.
Vista 64 bit, i don’t think rest is applicable for this minor bug.
Description: when you select backup target the Comodo Online Storage is selected as default. However, the file path is my older backup target location, which looks like “D:/Windows Mail_full_mail.cbu” (so, it is not a COS target).
There’s also a small issue if you click Back to modify source. In this case the COS path will be reverted back to the last used (?). Click Back, then Forward.
To resolve this issue: selected local, then COS target again.
Um, Emanuel, i got random freezes (at random steps). Do you think the cbu report will be enough? CPU usage az freeze: 0%, memory usage: 15 276K. I got no error messages. I haven’t had this problem with earlier releases.
I wonder if this helps (Windows application log):

The 1st happened at backup target, second at Backup Settings. I can’t reproduce the problem at the very same location (this is random).

Problem described above
I couldn’t resolve the problem, i answered shut down for the Windows request.
NTFS
No diagnose problems.
UAC off.
EDIT: i had an internal error 43. I let the program run in the background and was typing into this forum, i’ve switched back and there was another hang. As i see, this freeze comes up after 5-10 minutes.
From the help files:-
“Mount backup everytime Windows starts - Instructs the application to repeatedly mount the backup as virtual drive with the selected drive letter, every time windows is started. Select this option if the backup is scheduled once and going to be updated periodically.”
Unfortunately when I try this, the mounted backup doesn’t mount on restart.

Backup stored on an USB drive.
I have tried 3 different attempts at backup. With each I have attempted to backup My Documents, a 10.9GB file, to DVD.
Attempt 1. I tried to just select the My Documents from the backup list but this would not start.
Attempt 2. I selected the custom mode for the backup using the simple format output, differential type, the source from the list and the output as the DVD. It would not allow me to check the box to erase the disc before starting so I ensured that I used a new disc. The backup failed immediately with Code 9 (internal error).
Attempt 3. I used the same settings as above but selected a CBU output format. The backup read and listed files for 30 minutes then displayed a message that the backup exceeds the size of the output file. It then started copying the first chunk to disc. This continued for 70 minutes and then the backup failed with the message “Backup failed with code 163 (IMAPI recored speed mismatch). It does say “recored” although it probably should be “recorded”. I have taken a dump at the point of failure but this is 122MB and is larger than the permitted attachment size.
Apart from the fail there are two other points that are worth making.
The concept of reading the file for 30minutes and then starting the disc burn means that the overall time taken is extremely slow. In Comodo version 1 the read and write are conducted at the same time.
During the read phase there is a progress bar that shows the progress of the job and there is an estimate of the time remaining. Once it starts writing to the disc the progress bar returns to zero and the overall job estimate stays frozen for the duration of the disc writing phase. There is nothing to indicate how long the disc writing phase will take.
