No matter what I do it still messes up my Outlook... It asks me for passwords, I cannot get it out of my software list, I have gone into msconfig and nothing gets rid of it. It seems to be worse that the spyware it was designed to protect me against. My choice is re-install it and use it or for ever have it in my face - maybe that is what it was designed for :( I have tried everything to remove every trace of Comodo - it seems to like the name a big dragon that has survived everything.

However, when looking for free antivirus, I'm not going to choose Comodo AV since there is no VB 100% Award and ICSA Labs certification. Other choices such as Avira or Bit Defender Free seems safer to use. Comodo Firewall seems fine, since it is free and perform well in firewall leaking test.

I have been using Comodo BO Clean, VEngine, AntiVirus, Firewall for a little over three months now and i'm still waiting for some problem to happen. I'm not sure what really happened to some who installed these great products, why they encountered those problems. I am a NAV user, but when my subscription expired I went with comodo and so far I'm happy with it. I also installed it on our test environment running windows 2003 64 bit server and their working great. With the Comodo Antivirus, just remember to disable the HIPS feature when you install it on a windows 2003 and you'll have an enterprise class protection. I have several Virtual Machines running Windows 2000 Pro., Windows 2000 Server, WIndows XP Pro and Home and I installed this products on these VMs and still haven't found any problems. Now I wish they convert the comodo lanch pad into an enterprise Network Monitoring system so I can monitor all the servers and workstations using comodo products. Hi there.

They've learned the hard way or took to heart what they have learned from others. Beta software of any kind is a gamble. Sometimes you win; sometimes you lose. Software suite's are generally as fancy as a hotel suite, but most of us are ready to check out after a night or two. Another person sited possible software conflicts; the most probable cause. I have nothing but admiration for Denis (Feb.23) having a pro-active approach to software conflicts instead of the typical "reactive" approach. Oddly, I haven't heard mention from those with problems as being frequent users of good de-fragmentation software. Nor was there any mention of a good registry cleaner being used "prior" to installing Comodo or using it to remove all traces of any software. Not trying to bash anyone, but Norton & others leave undesirable tracks on one's computer with a typical "uninstall". Been there/done that; Comodo Firewall performs well for me.

I installed Comodo about two months ago. I have actually been using their iVault, firewall, and anti-virus products WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS the entire time. The only thing I can say is that I must have missed most of these problems with the earlier products from this company. They must have fixed most of these problems. The only problem I encountered is that the anti-virus program is not compatible with Spyware Gaurd. I removed that and it has worked flawlessly since. Also, I have never seen any spam, ads, etc. from Comodo. My anti-virus installed without the launchpad app. It wasn't until I decided to try the iVault app that it installed Launchpad. When looking at the interface to launchpad, there are no direct ads for their other products. The only thing is a drop down where you can choose to open it and see what other offerings they have. I hope this company continues to improve the products and does not turn to betraying those of us using their services. I have been quite surprised by what most of you have commented on about Comodo.

First off everyone SHOULD know better than to expect perfection out of BETA ... Every one is always told NOT to install it on anything other than TEST systems. Where are your brains? Secondly, I guess everyone has forgotten that Norton a well tested and commercial program was hozzing all kinds of systems a few years ago and it was a final release of their product. Not to mention they had been in production of the same software for more than a decade beforehand. Thirdly, All of these kinds of commercial suites have been NOTORIOUS for having problems being removed. It just seems to be the nature of the beast when you are dealing with software that has to be integrated so deeply into the operating system. Lastly, you are all talking about an operating system that is notorious for crashing on its own without any extra help, from a company that is so greedy that it was selling its BETA versions a couple years ago. Nobody but M$ sells a BETA version. Well, thats my 2 pence and remember BATA is called BETA for a reason. Wow, all of you complaining about BETA software ….

Have tried to uninstall it, but it just won't go. Going to have to re-install XP again. Used this AV as it was recommended in Computer Active magazine in the UK. Will be letting them what a crock of s*** it is. Comodo has completely ruined my HD, freezes constantly. Have tried to uninstall it, but it just won’t go. Going to have to re-install XP again.
