(:AGY)I have been dealing with this for three days now… I was unable to connect to the internet wirelessly and hard wired, finally found a thread to uninstall cpf which I did and low and behold after reboot I was connected to the internet…
Well before I was up and running on my laptop I downloaded cpf to a jump drive and then installed it on my laptop from there.
It updated and was in the process of scanning and then system crashed and from that point on I had no more internet and there are no icons to remove, also it does not show up in the add remove programs to uninstall and when I try to search I blue screen…
There is no visual trace of cpf on desktop, in all programs, add remove. currently everytim I search for comodo it blue screens to a stop error, search the stop error and it does not show anything… I will try reinstalling again i guess, which free version should I be downloading and installing… I have windows xp sp3
When the installer says it sees an install and it won’t run you can use Regcleaner to take out the Comodo keys. Get it here: http://majorgeeks.com/download460.html .
When needed try this tutorial on removing the Firewall when all other methods fail. Notice this is written for the Firewall 3.0 versions but it may do the trick though.
Well everyone, my system is up and running I still have a few errors going on but for the most part I am now able to get online wirelessly and wired.
What I am running into now is that for some reason I am not able to click on links if I do a search, and the dreaded I still do not have a desktop icon and cpf does not show up in my add/remove programs to remove it. I want to remove it and then reinstall but Im a little gun shy because all of the work that I have done to get to this point and if it goes crazy on me then im not sure I am up for the task…
I think I have played in the registry enough today and I think I just need to relax…
If I download the most up to date version of cpf will it replace or remove my current version? I would be willing to do that but maybe later…
Did you try my suggestion, this should bring up the uninstaller so you can uninstall.
If you start cfp.exe in that same folder it should bring up the gui for CIS.
You can recreate a shortcut by doing a right mouse click on your desktop and browse to:
c:\program files\comodo\comodo internet security\cfp.exe
Give the shortcut a name and there you go.
Actually I did try your suggestion but honestly I could not get it to work… Im not sure if I was just too beat to make sure I was doing it right but I could not make it work.
This is what I did…
Start
Run
Cmd…dos screen comes up
it has my C: stuff here>cd\program files
I get to the program files directory but cant get to the comodo directory
Ok… Im back and i am still having issues with this… I have just put my notebook on the side because it was just too frustrating.
Now Im not able to connect to the internet again, and cpf is not updating due to the fact it wont update. here is the error that I get…
“\windows\prefetch\cfpudat.exe-33654641.pf is corrupt and unreadable. please run the chkdsk utility”
which icon in the comodo folder is the uninstaller?
This is silly, it should not be this hard…I know that Im not a pro at this but gosh why cant there be something easy?
I will continue to try to uninstall again somehow til I get a reply.
I am have followed to here. The window that comes up after the pasting the words from the instructions above into the RUN and hitting ENTER is full of icons but none that have “cfpconfig.exe -u”
There is cfpconfig.dll & cfpconfig.exe but nothing with the -u. There is no text box to put it.
