Uses 100% resources on install, stops on scan [Resolved]

Hi Ewin,

I have a nasty feeling the internet /network connectivity issue is caused by the aborted CFP installation.

That’s exactly the same feeling I have. It’s also why I responded as I did to 3Xist’s post above.

Has CFP been completely uninstalled?
Does your network adaptor appear as enabled in Device Manager?
Did the winsock resetting process complete?
Did you get any error messages when resetting the winsock?

As I stated before, CFP never showed up in the Add/Remove dialog in the Control Panel. So yes, the installation was faulty. When I tried to delete registry keys dealing with Comodo, even in safe mode, some of them could not be removed. Tonight, I’m going to try to see what I can do with these instructions.

My contention is that no software should be this difficult to remove and/or install.
In the meantime, I hope these instructions will help reduce the time and difficulty in migrating between different versions of CFP. I am confident that, eventually, the Comodo programmers and developers will offer a more streamlined method of upgrading to future versions of this otherwise excellent firewall system.

I quite agree.

You asked about the winsock error message. When running your command line suggestion, I got nothing. When I run Winsock Fix, I get that standard Windows message about having “little or no connectivity.”

I hope someone can help me be able to fix my internet connection short of having to reinstall Windows. Does anyone have any ideas?

Alan
