I think I’ve seen that post… but that was a long time ago, it was from a user that after installing cavs a lot of DLLs went missing. I think some-one mentioned that the dlls could’ve end up in the “quarantine”… I was a long time ago, and I didn’t read it to the end of it
I agree. It’s hal.dll issue. To my knowledge, there is still no definitive evidence that CAVS was the cause of this issue (hal.dll, along with many other windows DLLs disappearing without a trace). Based on user posts, the actual number & type is inconsistent. For some, its just hal.dll (loosing hal.dll is not an uncommon windows error, its been around for years, & not necessarily anything to do with CAVS), whilst others have lost “many” & “lots” of DLLs (no names or exact counts detailed). For all I know, it could be the classic windows disappearing hal.dll trick (there are so many reasons for this) or a virus/trojan/worm. The whole issue is as clear as mud… at night (new moon), whilst you’re wearing sun glasses… in a very deep & dark dungeon.
Sorry for not being more specific in my original post – it is indeed the hal.dll issue.
I certainly did not want to spread misinformation and I realize that there wasn’t any direct evidence linking CAVS to this issue.
However, because I don’t want to go through the pain of having to reinstall my system, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be cautious about beta software especially when it’s very unclear the root cause of this hal.dll problem.
Fyi, I tried that link Mike posted but it’s a deadend.
Tomorrow it is then (hopefully), I’m sure we all don’t mind waiting a few days for a ‘stable’ release, the fact is, COMODO products are so darn good, we just can’t wait for the new stuff to arrive. (:CLP)
On the matter of the missing hal.dll…I have been running CAVS 1.1 for a few weeks now and have suffered no problems whatsoever, maybe it was NOT CAVS that caused the problem?
I must admit that, AVG was my AV of choice but after installing CFW, AVG started acting up a little, like email checking forever…anyhow, I installed CAVS and have never looked back since.
Yes, normally releases are done around 16:00 UTC/GMT. However, releases are not normally done on a Monday. Anyway, we normally hear about the release, if it’s going to happen or not, around 15:00 UTC.
