BSOD (only at boot) BAD_POOL_HEADER 0x00000019

Hi Brds7t7.

Apparently the BSOD is caused by inspect.sys, COMODO Internet Security Firewall Driver (c:\windows\system32\drivers\inspect.sys)

Code:

*******************************************************************************
*                                                                             *

Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for inspect.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for inspect.sys
Probably caused by : Pool_Corruption ( nt!ExDeferredFreePool+cbb )

Followup: Pool_corruption
---------

In order to be sure, remove it from Startup:

Code:

COMODO Internet Security    "c:\program files\comodo\comodo internet security\cfp.exe" -h    Public    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

And then reboot the computer. It will make you sure that the identified element is the cause of the BSOD or not.

Then, you are enough able to take the right decision :)

Arc..... You're a legend mate!

I'll remove it from start up and report back in a few weeks. As it only happens occasionally, it may take me a few weeks to see if it's resolved the issue.

Not sure why it only started a few months ago. I've had comodo installed for years and I've stayed with the same version without issues. Must be conflicting with some other software maybe?

Thanks again Arc. I'll report back and let you know!

Also, if it does solve the issue, can you recommend a good free alternative to comodo?

A failing hardware may cause any of the issues .... but I am not confident to say it that the previous issue was caused solely by it, as it is noticed many a times that Comodo causes such issues.

I personally use Microsoft Security essentials, MBAM and Windows inbuilt firewall ..... and for me it is enough good :) But it is such a topic which is always controversial :)

If your motherboardboard has onboard graphics, you can use it.
