The DNS server isn’t responding

I did not add anything to TeamViewer.

AdWareCleaner did not work exactly as you said, probably because it is a newer version. I noticed it was going to delete everything found on the initial log without asking for confirmation, so I saved the Getright registry key with all the program needs to work properly, and a directory with some Winpatrol stuff. It deleted them and as Getright had lost everything I put them back where they belonged. There were too many things on that frst log and I couldn't check everyone in a couple of hours, so I let it delete most of them, but I also noticed that some lines with paths pointed to empty folders, not important, because sonmetimes I get rubbish that I get rid of later, and it could be that. However I hardly believe I had any malware because I am careful and also scan with Defender and Avast, but of course, that is never 100% sure. Isn't this version dangerous because it does not ask to delete as you said? I hope it did not delete something useful like the two I noticed and saved. After this I had a look at Device Manager and found a problem with WAN Miniport (Network Monitor); lost its driver and "The system cannot find the file specified". If you find anything else of the sort, please tell me. The final log is below.

Nothing changed concerning Comodo, so everything is as before.

Okay let me see if I got a understanding of things. You cleaned the registry with (Little Registry Cleaner) a few times
You still have pieces of COMODO or all of it still on your computer.
Something found some Winpatrol stuff still on the computer
Yor are using Avast.
I'm not sure if you allowed Adwcleaner to delete anything and everything.
You still cant run sfc /scannow three times booting between each. Something happened but you didn't catch it in Jacee's post #14.
You have install a previous image.
You are using a network monitor.
You may or may not be still using a Layered Service Provider
You are using Team Viewer
In post #17 you installed a image that is older than your first post back on your computer. So basically we are starting from post #1 again.
------------------------
Now your only concern is this.

TCP/IP4 to its original OS settings, that's all I need.

Does all that sound about right. I'm I the only one confused here?

You probably just needed to pull the USB and plug them in again. Anti virus removal tools do not do this.

As long as you have those A/V's, even the smallest pieces on your system, you will continue to have problems.

Part of the Comodo so called DNS security is still leaving things in your Device Manager which also need to be removed.

Once that stuff is completely removed you might have a chance at fixing this problem. The link below explains how to run this problem down but assumes that a rogue A/V software is not involved.

Well, Layback Bear, your summary is a bit mixed up, but that is not astonishing after all that happened. To put it short, after installing an image nothing is as it was when I started this thread. Now I am as on my post 11, so let's make it easy and cut short all that both happened before and after, and take this one as the if it were the first post.

  • That is, I unisntalled Comodo;
  • Then I found the browser is still going to Comodo’s site when a site is not found, does not exist or because of a typing error;
  • I searched for Comodo files and registry entries and used Revo's Force uninstal to the paths and it deleted a lot of files and registry entries;
  • I cleaned the remaining with Little Registry Cleaner.
  • The only remaining issue is the TCO/IP4 that needs to be reset to its original default values. This will also solve the problem with the browser.
This is the present point. Comodo never again, it lives in the system like a parasite, works as a virus changing things without asking or noticing, an abuse; and third party that duplicate OS functions only after researching for known results, etc.


Chev65, I am very sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean. I don’t know what you say about “pull the USB and plug them in again”. I also don’t understand about the anti-virus. I am sure I am being too silly and you did not explain. Your link at the end of your post goes to a page with the title “DNS Server Not Responding Error – How to Fix it”, but I am not sure about that because what we can read on the images at my post 11 are actually the Comodo IPs. The problem on my first post, before re-imaging the system (not now), started when I deleted that Comodo IPs from the TCP settings. that makes me ask what to do now, not to fall on the same again. Please, let me understand what you are telling me to do. I read something about your IPResetALL.zip. Would you advise me to use it?


Jacee, do you think I should use AdwCleaner again? I mean, from what you read on the two logs I posted, is it necessary or useful? Please let me know.


Thank you all.

AdwCleaner scans for "potentially unwanted processes" .... these processes get bundled with add-ons or downloaded programs. They are called "adware" that doesn't enhance your computer ... only degrades it.

Run the scan again and delete the garbage.


This is where more Comodo bits and files can be found:

I followed your hints. The first two and another one I had already found, but found others and more under C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\inspect.inf_amd64_neutral_a7ec3789bc21a5c0 with inspect.sys, .inf, .pnf and .cat. Also some registry keys with related names.

I only verified a little of all what AdwCleaner wants to delete and it took me a until now. I only don’t understand why it persists on deleting Getright registry key and Winpatrol setup file. Maybe the developer doesn’t like them.

I'm not sure about that either.

If you're still having problems with Comodo, watch the video .... then perhaps you might re-install it, then uninstall it.
What a Pita!!! :mad:

That video reminds me of removing Webroot with Spysweeper years ago. What a bag of worms. I had to use Normal as well as Safe mode to get it all out. I took me most part of a weekend. Some how using 3rd party programs, regedit, msconfig and screaming I did finally get rid of it. All this was done after I use the removal tool from Webroot/Spysweerer and Add/Remove in Windows.
Going from Normal to Safe mode over and over just to remove one little part and then doing it all over again for a lot of little parts one or two at a time takes forever. If I had to do it again I would just do a Wipe and Clean Install.

I can figure out what you mean because I have had some much smaller identical cases and I know very little. I only use computers for over 25 year = experience, but no knowledge :huh:.

Sorry no offense intended. I removed it. I have not been doing this kind of thing for 25 years to the best of my memory.

Why?! What you wrote was very objective and true. I failed to find the slightest spark of offence, whatsoever. The fact is that I'm still a nerd after all this time as a user.

What I really want is to get rid of this or these remnants of sh*tty Comodo.

Let's look some more, using more tools:

Download Security Check by screen317 from
http://screen317.spywareinfoforum.org/
Save it to your Desktop.
Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

Thank you Jacee. I am going to do that, but not right away because since I tried that Comodo uninstaller from the link I was given here to the Comodo forum, I started having different problems. Not great at the beginning, but grew to the point that I could no boot. This is the first time I could boot, it is far from being fixed and one drive is still not recognized by Windows. The system disk is an ATA and is attached to a SATA socked through an adapter. When I try to repair it with the Windows setup DVD the drivers for the adapter, that I have been using for about three years, are not recognized! I have problems with the MBR, chkdsk takes ages and stops before ending, indexes, security descriptors, the volumes bitmaps, bad clusters, can't adjust log size and more. Most of my files (Docuements, downloads, Strat Menu, Firefox profile, etc.) are in the not accessible drive, so I will have to fix that before going on here, My last chkdsks were on 27th January and all were good, but now even the small XP partition that I use so seldom is inoperative. I will be back in a few days, thanks.

I have fixed everything, but a part of the MBR. It took me too many hours, but first of all I could not loose my personal files and documents on that drive. With the time all drives became corrupt and the chkdsk started, but stopped at 11%. When trying a repair with Windows setup DVD, I got an answer like it was for another version or system... :huh: I had to check the three disks several times, mostly over night. At the begining not even that old HDD Regenerator would start checking. Regarding that I couldn't assign full time permanently to the job, it was relatively quick.


Here the result of Security Check checkup.txt:

We can read somewhere Java version out of Date! but that is not true because I checked after reading and it was not out of date. The same goes for Adobe Reader; I checked and the result was No updates available. There are too many things and it is hard to keep them all up to date at any time, but now they are.

Did you go into the control panel and remove/uninstall that version from "Programs and Features"?

I did that and then checked again with Security Check, but the out of date line is still in the new log. Why? Thanks.
