I have just noticed my security level has changed from Custom to Safe.
Why is that? has someone hacked me. I have been having a problems with a script kiddie recently
Edit: Fixed spelling error in Topic title, Captainsticks.
Hi andriod,
Have you just had a version update recently?
Safe mode is default.
Thanks for the reply.
No, i had set the rules pretty tight, comodo apps to ask.
Previously my explorer.exe all of a sudden wasn’t recognised so i set it to trusted and that’s when it’s all gone wrong i think.
After the security level changed i decided to re-install comodo and restore my computer, but it cam up with a messeage from explorer saying server not started.
guess i’ll have to format my hard drive yet again.
Sometimes when cfp.exe or cmdagent.exe crashed it may happen that rules get lost.
Explorer.exe not being recognised could mean you lost one or more trusted software vendors. Let CIS check its self using Diagnostics. In case you got a modified Explorer you need to check its digital signature.
To know for sure that explorer.exe is the original file you can use Sigcheck to see if it is digitally signed by Microsoft.
Download this zip archive and unpack it to C:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite\ . When done run sigcheck.reg to add it to the registry.
When this is done navigate to the Windows folder, look up and select explorer.exe, click right and choose Signature from the context menu. A black command box will pop up. See if it is signed or not.
Can you show us a screenshot of the messeage from explorer “saying server not started”?
