Vista 64 bit Avira anti-virus 4gb RAM Since installing Comodo 3.0 on my PC is now taking about 15 minutes to shut down and about 10 minutes to boot up. Prior to this a restart took 75 seconds. I think it must be Comodo as uninstalling it fixes the problem. I've unticked the option to run automatically and instead it starts using task scheduler. I've also set Comodo firewall + defense to learning mode and rebooted to no avail. I'm thinking I'm just gonna uninstall and turn Windows back on. That should be enough with my routers firewall, Avira AV and regular runs of Spybot, A2 & Adaware. -- Lovyan |
