Well, this is pretty nasty! >:(
At the moment it seems to me, like this problem on my system started not until the latest update (but of course I cannot definitely say this): Each time I open a Word or Excel file from the Desktop or the Explorer, Defense+ shows a message that the program wants access to the DNS/RPC service. This is absolutely new. Now I noticed that this happens not only if I deny this request but also when I allow it: the mentioned little window pops up (almost each time) and cannot be removed. Only a restart of the system or restarting CIS helps
No matter what is behind the new request, this is definitely a bug.
The devs do most certainly read these pages but are not in the habit of replying other than in the situation where they need additional information. It’s unfortunate but that’s how things work.
Does the pop up also occur when you give the programs permission to access the DNS/RPC client?
If things go as planned there should be a beta release of the upcoming v4 later this month. Let’s see if this got fixed or not.
It seems to be quite tricky. I just tried again and found, that with one Excel file the window does not pop up at all, with another Excel file it already pops up while the Defense+ alert is not answered yet.
I get popupSyncId4 error on boot up every day suddenly for no apparent reason. Running Vista 64 bit. Need a solution cos I changed to Comodo from Zone Alarm to get away from their annoying nag screen and this is no better at the moment!
I just got this a few minutes ago after opening an Excel 2003 file, confirming to Comodo to allow Excel to “modify the user interface”? then confirming with Excel to allow macros for that file. The macro dialog was also in the top corner of my screen, so it may be that the dialog was covering the “PopupsynId2”. Other details:
Comodo Firewall only, ver 3.14.130099.587
XP SP3, fully updated
Excel 2003, also updated
new I7 860-based machine with 4GB RAM, just installed Comodo today.
first time running Excel under Comodo
Firewall security level is Custom, Defense+ level Safe.
I downloaded Comodo Internet Security last week but ONLY installed the firewall.
I got an error message from Comodo ANTIVIRUS when I logged into win7 yesterday.
Today I got another error message POPupSyncId2: cfp.exe.
well, I don’t see a lot of posts re “popupsyncx” lately, but I got one today on a win 7, 64 bit machine just recently installed. After many boot ups configuring the new install with new s/w, I never got the pop up until now. There it sits, “poipupsync0”, in its little window. I have no idea what has caused this. I can say though that no M$ office products are yet installed on this machine. On my other two win 7 computers, both 32 bit, I haven’t ever seen this issue.
It would have been nice if this oddity at least identified itself as to where it was spawned from. It also be nice if someone from comodo cared to comment on this so I didn’t have submit a trouble ticket…
brief followup to last post: on subsequent, multiple reboots, I haven’t seen Mr. popup again–it just appeared once so I guess it isn’t such a big deal (just a curious artifact)…
Well I’ll move this out of ‘resolved’, since it is still happening.Hopefully it will get some attention. If Churlock posts a bug report in standard format, I’ll forward it to format verified, which will make attention more likely.
I have this intermittent popup window. No Error messages.
The window name and whats in the window are the same text:
PopupSyncId2
It’s very random and happens every now and then,
always straight after booting, maybe once a month.
Machine is shut down most nights.
Believe this or not, the really strange thing is,
I was getting this popup on my old HP with vista!
Now it’s followed me to a brand new self build on a 512mb SSD!
This error has followed me from vista to win7 across machines and different drives :o)
Got this popup this morning and thought it’s about time I post.

PHatDriver has just sent me a PM informing me that this is not fixed for CIS version 6.2.282872.2847.
However, as there is not yet a formatted report (the format can be found on this page) there is very little I can do. If someone creates a formatted report I can forward this to the devs and hopefully get it fixed.
Please create a formatted report. If you have any questions at all don’t hesitate to ask me.

I’m sorry, but as this has been in the Incomplete section for more than a single period I must now move this to Resolved. If you are still experiencing this issue, please create a properly formatted bug report, with all required information, so that this can be forwarded to the devs.
