Hi Everybody,
First I want to say "Thanks" to all of you for your input, and then reply yo each of you in turn.
Hi Tarq57
Thanks for the link, I'll give it a read after I get off of here.
Double checked my systems date and time, just now, and they are correct at the moment, and COMODO has always been set to do the automatic update thing as I am too lax in the brain pan *meaning lazy* to remember to do all of that in a daily basis.
I do agree that one of the AV's needs to be uninstalled, however, I'm going to hold off on doing that just yet.
I have MBAM and SAS, both are the free versions, and I run them regularly.
I always get rid of the garbage that they detect, but it all seems to have a way of coming back after a reboot, no matter if it is a hot or cold reboot.
Needless to say that the exact same thing keeps happening when I run a scan with COMODO, and all of that was going on before I installed AVAST!
Heck, when I would check the logs in COMODO I would find that it had been Detecting, and Quarantining, the same TROJAN 14 to 16 times A SECOND...! And that was AFTER I had already deleted that little sucker several times in a row.
Anyway, that was when I decided to give AVAST! a go. The first run of AVAST! picked up a couple of low level threats, which I got rid of, but the next several runs all came back clean.
It wasn't until after I had had AVAST! running for several days that the COMODO firewall started alerting on that Trojware thing.
So I came over here to see if anyone else might have ran into that little bugger while scanning with AVAST!

Hi ImWarm, Thanks for your input.
That's why you don't have 2 AVs, they detect each other as viruses and cause more problems.
I Know, said so in my post too, but I had to give something a try, so, having used AVAST! Free a couple of years ago, I decided to give AVAST! a go and see what would happen anyway.

Hi craigb, Thanks for your input.
I'm seriously think about giving what you guys have all been suggesting a go.
But before I do, I'd like to know if there is a way to just shut one of the two down without completely uninstalling it?
If there is I would like to give them each a go, one at a time, and see what the heck they might find.

Hi DavidR, Thanks for your input.
First off, as my inquisitive nature has grabbed me by the rump here, every time that I have ever seen your Avatar I have had the urge to ask you, "Have you ever been a Trooper, or do you just like that Avatar Boo?" *I guess you know you don't have to answer that if you don't want to.*
Now down to business.
What you are experiencing are classic AV conflicts.
I'm not too sure that ALL of it was being caused by the AV's beating each other up over who got to do what first.
I mean I can agree with you on the last part. The part where COMODO's firewall seems to have started ratting out AVAST! for harboring an EVIL entity, sure that could be correct, but 99% of my troubles had began weeks before I gad ever installed AVAST!.
I agree with everything else that you said though, and YES
I have a feeling I know which one you would get rid of.

Hi YoKenny, Thanks for your input.
*cringing in fear, and laughing*
I guess she wants to keep secrets and not say what her system specifications are in her siganture so that helpers can provide meaningful assistance.
If you could walk me through the steps of how to find all that system stuff..., I'll be more than happy to add it to my signature.
But right now all I know for sure is, 1.) that I actually rescued this box from a pile of trash on the side of the road, and 2.) the information that I included in my OP.

Hi SafeSurf, Thanks for your input.
To be fair YoKenny, she did provide most of her system specifications in her first post, however it would be nice to see it in the Signature for easy scanning to help OP's.
Thanks for sticking up for me, and like I said to YoKenny, if someone could tell me where to look to find that system info stuff I'll be more that happy to include it in my signature.
Now, one last thing before I go guys, can any of you tell me how to set my login time on this site so that my session doesn't get timed out before I can post a reply?
I mean other than checking the keep me logged in forever box.
It seems to me that there use to be an option that would allow you to stay logged in for 2 or 4 hours before your connection got timed out.
But now I'm having to do the select all\copy thing so that as soon as I hit post reply I can log back in and past this into the reply box, and get it posted real quick, and that's a drag.
Thanks to all of you for your input.
