Windows XP slow logins

Comodo Internet Security - CIS Install / Setup / Configuration Help - CIS
#1

I am using the latest version of CIS on XP SP3. Norton antivirus is installed, so I do not use the Comodo antivirus. When I log in, cmdagent.exe hogs CPU for up to two minutes. What is cmdagent doing and how can I speed up the logins?

I uninstalled to confirm that CIS was causing the slow login.

I can not correlate the slowdowns with any particular version of CIS. I am aware of the bad virus sig update issue, but I do not use Comodo antivirus.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Yep same thing happens here, xp sp3 but i only use comodo antivirus,hips,firewall. Cmd agent uses up all my cpu and usually up to and over 100mb ram to a max of around 200mb ram for the first 2 or so minutes of start up. The same thing also happens on a computer i set up for a friend.

Anybody else out there having the same problems?

Thanks

I reinstalled Comodo last night. I only installed the firewall. The login process seems a bit faster but I need to observe for a few days. I wonder if it slows down as it collects rules.

I will post a screen shot if I see anything interesting.
