@MaxReed if I'm not mistaken if I understood correctly what DavidR saying I hope
virus signatures should not be loaded into memory by cmdagent.exe (for defense+), sometime this can cause problem to PC having to many virus signatures loaded into memory can slow down your PC so it shouldn't in most cases.
@MaxReed please check your Comodo FW setting for me please trust me I have been using Comodo FW for nearly 6 years from v3.0 to v5.4 I'm not using Comodo FW any more, I'm currently using Outpost. So go to Comodo FW in the defense+ settings:
1. Go to Firewall Behavior Settings and tick
Create rules for safe applications 2. Go to Defense+ in general settings have you picked
Create rules for safe applications3. In Execution Control settings un-tick the following settings:
- Perform cloud based behavior analysis of unrecognized files
- Automatically scan unrecognized files in the cloud
4. In Sandbox settings disable Comodo Sandbox is not required while you have Avast sandbox running
5. In Sandbox settings un-tick the
Automatically trust the files from the trusted installers6. In Monitoring Settings make sure you pick everything.
And reboot your PC after that go back to Comodo FW and go to
More Options section right at the end
7. Run the Comodo Diagnostics just to make sure everything is okay
8. After Diagnostics go to
Manage My Configurations and backup your Comodo settings in a different name and keep it in a safe place, just in case if the new Comodo FW version might come out in most cases you could loose all your settings everything and it easy to restore them back into Comodo FW.
And do another Avast custom scan the memory and I'm pretty sure everything should be clean out by cmdagent.exe (for defense+)
Please let me know.
