Hi guys
I hope that the answer to my question isn’t posted somewhere, which won’t be a surprise to me if it were; I usually find what am looking for without having to start a thread:
when scanning at some point, windows will just loose every display, Icons every where, start menu, Comodo display panel also will be distorted and almost nothing shows to the point I have to restart every-time, this is so since version 5 , in use now CIS5.3.174622.1216, (XP3, 255, security Comodo only, spywareguard )… it has become so annoying that I don’t scan anymore …
and please since I also have got this ■■■■■■, when downloading a new version I loose everything, is there away to at least allow me to retain the virus data base? I hate how long it takes to download after each re install , I tried everything, used CSC to cleanup before each reinstall, but still, I would really use any tips guys,…
The bug/issue
- What you did:
scanning, scheduled, full scan - What actually happened or you actually saw:
winows icons, start menu, everything is gone , also CIS interface is no longer accessible, - What you expected to happen or see:
normal scan - How you tried to fix it & what happened:
reinstalled, cleaned using CSC, same thing - If its an application compatibility problem have you tried the application fixes here?:
none of that - Details & exact version of any application (execpt CIS) involved with download link:
none - Whether you can make the problem happen again, and if so exact steps to make it happen:
impossible as no access is possible to both windows icons, start menu, or CIS, must reboot. - Any other information (eg your guess regarding the cause, with reasons): I thought it could’ve been some 3rd party cleaning software( stopped all), they were aways available before the issue, I’ve been using them and CIS since almost you guys started
