A. THE BUG/ISSUE (Varies from issue to issue)
[ol]- Summary - Give a clear summary in the topic subject, NOT here.
Can U reproduce the problem & if so how reliably?:
I can reproduce the problem each time i launch some XBOX games from the Windows Store, (ex : Wordament, Microsoft Mineswepper, Microsoft Mahjong, Microsoft Solitaire Collection, etc…).
If U can, exact steps to reproduce. If not, exactly what U did & what happened: 1:I did a clean install of Comodo Internet Security v7 and do everything it asked, like a quick scan and computer reboot. 2:I launch a Windows 8 App from Windows Store that requires a loggin from user to a XBOX game account. 3:Next, the application says it fail to login, and it looks like Comodo without any alerts from firewall or anti-virus compomnents, block Xbox login.
If not obvious, what U expected to happen:
I expected that the Apps could work properly and can login without problems.
If a software compatibility problem have U tried the conflict FAQ?:
No
Any software except CIS/OS involved? If so - name, & exact version:
Every Windows Store Apps with login to XBOX games accounts (some examples mentionned above)
Any other information, eg your guess at the cause, how U tried to fix it etc:
The problem appears when you install Comodo and restart your computer. The worst is that even if all components are off , the apps are still unable to login to XBOX games. To solve this problem, you must completely uninstall the product.
I tried also to install antivirus alone (without firewall) but there is the same problem.
Also i tested this on four computers, and all had the same problem.
A workaround for this (which must be done every time) is provided below:
Download Process Explorer and run it with administrator privileges.
Then open the Xbox game.
Then use Process Explorer to kill cavwp.exe and cmdagent.exe.
The game will then be able to connect.
After that cavwp and cmdagent will automatically restart.

Not fixed in CIS v 7.0.317799.4142… ( OS version : Windows 8.1 Update 1)
I would like to remmember that this bug can affects many people and not just me; mart44 is an example.
If people (not fan of Comodo) install your antivirus and they discover that it blocks what they want to do, what will they do ?
They’ll just uninstall it and switch to another security software from another company and they will remember comodo as a buggy software that they’ll never want to install again and you’ll loose possible customers… :-\
Just letting you know I have the same problem with signing in to xbox games in Windows 8.1 with or without update 1.
I can sign in the the games app ok but individual games wont sign in.
I did not uninstall cis at first and spent a few hours today tiring to fix it.
Then I unistalled cis and I could sign in again.
Then I checked to see that it was a known bug and at least it’s not just me.
I just looked at the trusted vendors list and noticed Microsoft Live gaming on Windows is listed twice.
Not sure if that is correct or not but I thought I would let you know it case it helps.
The bug still present in CAV/CIS version 7.0.317799.4142 that causes blocking games to connect xbox service.
Under version 6.3 works, or disable helper service.
Same issue for me. Windows 8.1 Update 1 with latest Comodo Firewall. Uninstalling Comodo fixes the issue. Even specifically allowing the individual EXE files does not allow them to connect. Oddly I can log into CutTheRope fine… but Uno, Solitare, WSOP, PinBallFX, etc. refuse to connect to xbox.com. The issue seems to block the eBay app (eBay.CoreApp.exe) as well. Firewall is behaving normally otherwise.
Thanks. I’ve noted in the tracker that multiple users are experiencing this, and that it seems to occur only for those on Windows 8.1. If anyone is experiencing this, but is not using Windows 8.1, please let me know.
