OK That guide helps alot because I was planning to do alot of in depth research on configuring Comodo.
Yes those files have to have access to the internet some may be harmful but most are not with windows 7 there are a lot of system files accessing the internet at all times especially Windows Update and many service that you find in your services management control panel. svchost.exe,
the official process name is Microsoft Service Host Process which allows these services to access the internet, Comodo looks at these processes and has rules and definitions which if these are compromised or are doing illegal things Comodo will block these process from accessing the internet. Somehow it seems that your Comodo had corrupted your internet or maybe your tcpip.sys stack setting at any rate do a system malwarescan with Malwarebytes and then totally clean out Comodo using this guide which is not much of a guide but
https://support.comodo.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=298 then use ccleaner to clean out registry this is safe to do after a uninstall of a virus scanner..
That system is a fresh install of W7 with Avira and Comodo installed. That's it. Comodo is configured to ask for anything trying to access the internet no matter what it is. It's not going to block anything or allow anything. It is set to ask about every single thing. That's the rules it has. The problem is that Comodo doesn't come configured this way so I had to configure it myself to make it ask about everything.
So when scvhost, attempted to access the internet, Comodo has to ask me if I wanted to allow it. So knowing that particular process is useful, I allowed it, and set it to the allow list. So Comodo always allows that process.
The 'system' process is different. I haven't found a clear answer on why it is attempting to access the internet.
The instructions you gave were for uninstalling Comodo. What is the purpose of that? There are 2 things I'm trying to do.
1. Figure out how to get Comodo to work properly so it doesn't shut down my internet for no reason.
2. Figure out why "system" is trying to access the internet in order to see if it is something necessary in order for my internet to work properly, and figure out what it does.
Hi crimson!
It must be the same, the "system" process it's your OS process, or kernel, and AV's (antivirus apps) also use this process to access Internet.
If you have suspicions that “system” behaves in the strange manner, or it has .exe extension (system.exe for example) then scan with security applications to ensure safety of your system.
I'm not sure what you're saying. I thought "system" was just meant for timing for the CPU. What is it meant for, and why is it trying to access the internet. I'm not sure what you mean.
I understand the whole situation about scvhost being the process necessary for internet, but still confused about the purpose of system. If scvhost is handling it, what purpose that system have for attempting to access the internet?
