Hello,
I have recently installed CFP, and after finding the few tweaks I needed via the FAQ, it is running to my satisfaction. (I was previously using ZA Free but finally got fed up with vsmon.exe taking over my CPU :))
The only issue I have is at startup. I have read others say the firewall fails to start up or starts up but does not become enabled (and the advice has involved reinstalling). In my case it starts and becomes enabled, but it takes a very long time to do so. Five or six minutes after my desktop has come up and all my startup programs are running, CFP’s tray icon still says “…being initialized”, and if I look at the summary screen, the monitors are all off. Finally it will go “on”. There is nothing hogging the CPU during this time.
My problem with this is mostly the annoyance of having the Windows Security Center pop up on every reboot and tell me my firewall is off. Yes, it eventually goes away, but it is annoying.
Is there anything I can do? (I’ll uninstall/clean up/reinstall if you say so :))
CFP 2.4.17.183 (updated today)

Interesting… I had wondered if KAV/Comodo interaction was a problem, and I tried adding comodo.exe to KAV’s “trusted zone”, which means:
Do not scan opened files
Do not control application activity
Do not control registry access
Do not scan network traffic
I’d think that should cover it; but perhaps I’ll add the paths as you suggest as well…
I suppose I should also search the KAV forums for references to Comodo…
I don’t know if it scans memory when doing a file system scan, but I know it is not doing any scan by default when starting up…
I also added cmdagent.exe to KAV’s trusted zone but that didn’t make any difference either.
So in order to live with this I have told Security Center not to alert me if it thinks my firewall is down; and so I am happy, except that all of my startup programs that want network access have to wait five minutes or so to get it, and they are not all happy…
