not able to reinstall after a previous version was installed :
when i run the setup, i got message saying there is an old version already installed on my system (x64)
not the 1st time it’s happeing, i got that also with previous builds… so really this is annoying
it was fixed before with format & windows resintall but i do not want to that at this time, so help me to find a solution please!
I’m running now an another product : Agnitum Outpost Firewall (more faster btw & support for IPV6 & true working support for Windows7 but I’m still on XP x64 for few more weeks, and wow no more slow booting like with Comodo but still very effective to catch all suspicious activities when u load Windows), I’m on trial now but I’m gonna try again ZoneAlarm that was my favourite before Comodo!!)
What is wrong with Comodo products?
- Why adding spyware like SafeSurf / Asktoolbar by default ?
- Why trusttoolbar.com used before ? (still detected by Agnitum Firewall when i surf to comodo.com)
- Why no 100% working uninstall exe procedure since the 1st initial Comodo Firewall release? (I’m an old user but I’m getting tired now that nothing is fixed)
- Why no support for minidumps posted ? I posted like >100 minidumps (BSOD,…) and still no answer to solve them ! This is so annoying and unprofessionnal…

WMI Service
. Stop the the WMI Service (in admin > services)
. Delete the “repository” folder in C:\windows\system32\wbem
. start the WMI Service. Starting the service rebuilds the deleted folder and the database.
before stoping the WMI service i checked inside WBEM folder but there is no folder/file called “repository”
if i stop & restart the service (put on autostart), the folder ISN’T recreated anyway…
