Sorry you’ve had so much trouble uninstalling CFP, quemlesabe. Do you know what version of the application you have?
LM
Thx for your attention, Little Mac. My version of Comodo Firewall is 2.4.18.184 .
I’ve tried to uninstall by clicking at uninstall option at startup menu.
It appears uninstalled but my connection with the internet is not good (sometimes IE shows “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage” ), Windows is showing Comodo as the computer’s firewall and I have a strange delay while windows is starting.
I’m sure that these problems are caused by Comodo because when I reinstall it everything works.
I only want to return my system as like as it was before Comodo. (:SAD)
Okay, tnx. 2.4 has Comodo’s own installer, which they built due to problems with the previously-used 3rd-party installer. In general it does a very good job.
The issue of Windows Security Center still showing Comodo as the firewall is an issue with WSC’s repository not functioning as it should - that’s a common Windows issue, not a Comodo issue. It’s easy to resolve. However, that would not address the other things you’re seeing.
In case they’re related to the firewall (and something did go wrong on the uninstall), here’s my suggestion, presuming you have no other firewall installed at the moment.
If you have CFP installed currently:
Reboot into SafeMode, and uninstall by going to Start/All Programs/Comodo/Comodo Firewall/Uninstall. When it finishes, reboot into SafeMode again.
Clean the registry using an application like ccleaner or regseeker; be sure to make use of the option to back up the registry prior to deleting anything. When it finishes, reboot normally. If WSC still reports CFP, we’ll address that.
If you do not have CFP (or any other FW besides Windows) installed:
Reboot into SafeMode. Reinstall CFP. Reboot normally when it finishes (so it will fully mesh with the Registry).
Then follow the steps I posted above, for uninstalling and cleaning the registry.

ok. I’ll try.
Sorry…
Yesterday I realized that my problem was not Comodo. Comodo’s uninstall isn’t the best, but my problem wasn’t because of it.
The program wich was making a mess in my system is called VMWarePlayer !
Yes, sorry Comdo team… And thx for your attention, Little Mac . 
Tnx for the follow-up, quemlesabe! Hope you have been able to get the problem worked out, then!

Alan Borer’s registry/uninstall question has been moved here
so that it may be addressed more thoroughly.

HI all!!!
I love Comodo firewall…it is the bast firewall ever…
But i have problem…
Ive instaled it on my D drive(non windows)…and after instaling windows on C-drive ive deleted comodo folder…
now…when im trying to install it is says that it is already instaled…
I have already deleted everything form registry…but it still dont work…i cant instal it…
I need…help…i cnat play AmericasArmy without it!!!
What steps did you take to clean the registry? And did you also remove any files from D:\ drive?
LM
Thanks for the excellent firewall.
I cloned my hard drive with XXClone (great freeware tool). I’d read a warning this could upset firewalls and sure enough Comodo no longer ran. Using this thread I uninstalled/reinstalled it.
Just one question - now it’s working do I have to delete any of the uninstall files? clicapi.dll and fwconfig.exe are no longer in root of C - the only file now showing in C:\ is boot.ini.comodofirewall.
welcome to teh forums, pennymachines! No, you shouldn’t have to do anything further with it.
LM
Thanks Little Mac!
Now I have Comodo running again it seems a little buggy. It crashed when I booted up my computer this morning so I ran RegistryMechanic and a few other clean up programs. Although it seems to be working OK now, when I mouse over the task bar Comodo icon it continues to report “COMOD Firewall Pro is being initialized…”
I absolutely cannot get CFP off my computer. I’ve tried everything mentioned in this thread and it will not go away.
Even better, I cannot get on the internet because CFP will not allow my IP to renew. I’m going to have to reinstall my OS and start all over.
I have wasted so much time trying to get this software off from my computer!!!
This is a cosmetic bug of which the developers are aware. It does not mean that the firewall is not running. If you open TaskManager, look for CPF.exe and CmdAgent.exe. If they’re both there the firewall is up and running.
What version of CFP?
What steps have you taken to determine that CFP is blocking your internet after uninstalling and going thru th emanual removal steps given here?
LM
PS: Welcome to the forums, even if it’s under negative circumstances.
Thank you pandlouk !
That worked , after about the 3rd time. It was then that I paid special attention to where the Zip file was placed. I had to manually move them ( 2 files ) from "Comodo Uninstall " folder to just the ‘C’ drive.
From there your solution worked perfectly. It is now up and running. (:CLP)
hello powers that be, I uninstalled and tried to install a newer version.
I receive this message-
http://i18.tinypic.com/6wzyfrr.png
That file is in the folder, now when I try to uninstall, reinstall or run the firewall I receive this same error. I also tried the manual uninstall method and receive the same error.
Any suggestions?
update: I don’t know what I did but the newer version installed.
thanks
yeh did unistall and i can install cfp again now tyvm ps ty to all who made cfp possible and all answers etc etc brill to all :BNC
Hope this is the correct thread for this problem.
I had CFP Version 2.4 on my laptop, Dual Core AMD Turion 64, running XP Media Centre. I uninstalled V 2.4 following the instructions in this thread. Tried to install Version 3, but keep getting an error message “Error 0 running command .\ CFP_Setup_3.0.15.277_XP_Vista_x64.” Tried to install in Safe Mode but still got the same error message.
I also want to install Version 3 on my new desktop, AMD Athlon 64, running Vista Home Basic but I’m worried that I’ll also run into problems trying to install, or if it installs may have problems. BTW I’m currently running PC Tools firewall on the desktop.
Firstly, am I using the correct setup file? If so, what could be the problem.
Hope you can help. Thx.
Try the installer for 32-bit . You should go after your OS architecture, and not after the CPUs. If your CPU is 64-bit, and you OS is 32-bit, you’ll need to use the 32-bit installer.
If you’re unsure if it’s 32-bit or 64-bit, press Windows-key + Pause/Break. If it’s 32-bit, it’ll only say Windows XP Home/Pro or Windows Vista Whatever, but if it’s 64-bit, it’ll say x64 or something in the end.
Cheers,
Ragwing
Thx Ragwing
I’ve now been able to install Version 3 on my laptop, and also learned something new i.e. the press Windows-key + Pause/Break to get the System Info. :■■■■
Will now attempt to install on the desktop, hopefully there won’t be any problems.
