Comodo uninstall problem. Cmdagent removal breaks netconnect

In that tab- untick all the lines except comoddo and uninstall,

or un tick comodo thenuninstall,

or highlight comodo and uninstall ?

Im not taking any chances here.

No need. highlight and uninstall worked fine.

I think I see some daylight here.

When I installed comodo, it hooked that service into the network drivers.

When Comodo uninstalled it left a dozen leftovers, and that service.

Delete the service or driver and the Nic thinks a needed driver is gone.

I will retry the autorun disable bit again.

Success, ever since I upgraded Emsisoft the uninstall for comodo was swiss cheese.

In researching this I saw several posts with the same issue. While this is not malware

is is a pain, and exactly why I started the program.

Hunting this rascal down, and I will edit the first post if I can, to show how checking that net tab properties

first can save time.

Cmdagent is  not running and I disabled 7 others. and the net is fine.

The file locations are easy C:\program files\comodo

and                                                         \geekbuddy

here are some snips from otl scan , just the highlights. If you want a whole scan we can,

It looks like we are both Juniors, I'm on Jr #6 at the moment.

There are  a few lines to clean up and I will delete the  outdated adobe tomorrow.

When Win xp was abandoned I bought a new drive, installed Win 7 and migrated the old files.

After joining here I looked for the " best "  Av/firewall. Back then a lot of Bc peeps had Comodo and one of avast, antivir or others.

After a while I started having issues  between comodo and the antivir, some diagnostic tools and this net connection issue.

When Emsisoft was recommended here, and  Bc members were offered a nice discount I decided to dump comodo and

the compatibility issues.

Emsisoft had both firewall and Av together, no compatability issues. 

But uninstalling comodo failed from the start, I searched the forums back then and found that many had the same issue.

Some fixes called for revo, file assassin , autoruns and otl fixes.

But each attempt resulted in broken net as we saw here.

I felt pretty good about narrowing the focus to the net drivers, although I did not know why orphan files could still be hooked into the system.

When you directed me to look at those properties\networking\drivers , bingo, there was the comodo fragment .

I would agree that the windows uninstall is corrupted.

Emsisoft, malwarebytes, Trend micro and Mcaffee all say no virus involved.

I did install crypto prevent last year, and I now run most days without admin, I only use admin when nessessary.

Did you want to help me id and clean up the remaining leftovers ?

My Bc student super powers are still under construction.

If so which log to use ? Otl, Frst ?

Ahhh, good to know,

As far as I can see, All functions work, admin, I have set to ask each time since I read that full time admin is bad idea.

Created new account w admin.

uninstall worked fine.

deleted old java, and adobe, comodo

Jer

In properties\advanced system settings\user profiles\settings

user-pc\gerald the copy to is greyed out, as is delete.
