So Comodo is not opening anymore or even froze your whole system after disabling Settings-Analysis->File Rating->File Rating Settings->Rate applications according to their vendor rating
Start windows in safe mode and do a small registry edit, do an export backup for the relevant keys before editing just in case
Option 1: switching configuration, go to Option 2 if you deleted the default configurations and/or only have 1 configuration somehow
- Navigate to this key in the registry editor:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\CmdAgent\CisConfigs - You should see a value on the right side named Active, double click it to edit it, set it to 0
- If it was already set to 0, you could set it to 1 or try Option 2
Option 2: enable âRate applications according to their vendor ratingâ directly
- Navigate to this key in the registry editor:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\CmdAgent\CisConfigs - You should see a value on the right side named Active, remember or write down its data value
- Navigate to the subkey that matches the Active data value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\CmdAgent\CisConfigs\<Active number here> - Now youâll need to move into the subkey:
HIPS\Settings - You should see a value on the right side named Mode, write down its data value
- Double click on Mode to edit it, you can edit it in decimal or hexadecimal
- If editing in decimal youâll need to add 16777216 to it, in hexadecimal youâll need to add 0x01000000. You need to do your own mathematical addition to not change any other setting, only as an example my broken Mode was: â0x000e67fe (944126)â and the fixed Mode became "0x010e67fe (17721342)
Restart windows normally and try to use Comodo again
Note that the option canât be disabled without breaking everything, at least in my tests
mods, feel free to delete/move if not relevant, I just wish I could find this information anywhere before I had to do half a dozen semi-manual cleanups and reinstalls and a couple hours of research not finding a solution
