Dear Sir or Madam
The only software that forces my system to perform a cold or hard reboot when updating is Comodo Internet Security. The last several updates did not cause a cold reboot when the windows had to be restarted after a CIS program update. But right after the COMODO Internet Security 3.10.102363.531 Release this cold reboot happened again.
What do I mean by cold reboot? After the usual shut down procedure the computer acts as though I turned it off with the power switch or used the reset button. Only on my old system if one does this the system is locked until I short out (reset) the bios and setup the Bios again.
Is there an advantage to a cold reboot for security reasons. I can force a cold reboot by setting the reset flag in the ROM BIOS to. If I should not be suffering cold reboots please let me know.
Thank you
