    If you install Comodo D+, you will NOT be able to uninstall it. Even with all of the suggestions offered the the 18 page thread shown below, it will still appear in the Control Panel/Security Center as being installed as a firewall.

    This happens in both XP and Vista.

    If anyone has a solution to this problem, it would surely be appreciated.

    Many thanks,

    Silver

    As mentioned you just need to rebuild the repository.

    Using an administrator account:

    Open a command window
    net stop winmgmt
    cd %windir%\system32\wbem
    ren repository repository.old
    net start winmgmt
    reboot

    If using Vista you will need to run the command prompt "as administrator"
    even if you are logged in with an admin account.

    Hi Follow these instructions.

    How to Fix WMI components
    ==========================

    Step 1: Register wmidcprv.dll

    ==========================

    1. Click Start, click Run, type "cmd" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.

    2. Type in the following command and press Enter.

    Regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\System32\wbem\wmidcprv.dll

    You will receive a succeeded message.

    Step 2: Register WMI components

    for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i

    Sometimes this error is cleared by enabling the Windows firewall, waiting a minute and then disabling it again. This forces the security center to update.

    Thank you all!

    I used Pedro's method with XP and it worked. Did not even have to reboot the computer.

    I have Vista on an archive snapshot, and I will try it there when I get time.

    I'm glad it worked.
    Though it's not my method :).

    I can't even remember where i read it first, it's a frequently asked question, and probably found in the corresponding FAQ section of the Comodo forums.
