Hi, I’ve been using Comodo D+ for many years now and there is one thing that has been annoying me greatly ever since:
A program does a memory access to “System” - whatever that is supposed to be - and in doing so, the whole system freezes. Mouse freezes, clock freezes and thus no Comodo warning popus up. This memory access is repeated a few times, so I have to wait like 1-2 minutes until I can use the PC again.
Questions:
What causes this, and what is this “System” process?
How can I prevent this?
If there is no good way, how do I remove the protection on the “System” process for memory access. I do not want to allow it separately for every process, I know I can do that, but that is not what I need.
When HIPS starts firing SYSTEM pop-up alerts at you (normally it should not do that at all) then most likely your D+ / HIPS rules got deleted or corrupted by a known bug.
Importing a clean CIS configuration file resolves this behavior but you will lose all your settings and your own created rules.
It is a nasty bug unfortunately.
12.2.2.8012 @ Windows 7.
I only run Paranoid Mode.
I cannot really reproduce it. It just happens from time to time when starting some software mostly. But I can start a program several times without issues and then it happens some other time.
