    I just finished installing Comodo AntiVirus on my other PC and it's fine, nothing to report. But I tried installing it on this PC, with some weird results. The installation was successful, I restarted my PC as I was directed to do. When I logged back in and opened up the program from the tray icon, it came up no problem, but all the buttons seem to do nothing. On my other computer, security settings were shown as being turned on, but on this one they are shown as "Refreshing". Since all the buttons do nothing, pressing the "Turn On" button for the security settings has no effect. It seems like the program is unresponsive, but I can minimize/close it by the taskbar and access the right-click menu by the tray icon. In fact, just this second I got a pop-up message by Comodo AntiVirus in the bottom-right of my screen telling me its been automatically updated. I checked the program again and it still has the same problems. It runs perfectly on my other computer.

    Both of them are on Windows XP SP2.

    Anyone have any ideas? Or am I just better off installing a different anti-virus program?

    Thanks for the quick response.

    I tried re-installing following your steps. Same result. It looks and feels like the program is working, but it's the same thing, I can't change or do anything once I open it. Currently, it's uninstalled.

    My previous malware problem was on my other system. The reason I wanted to install Comodo AntiVirus on the problem system is because it's been having problems and I'm almost positive there's some sort of malware on it. I already installed Comodo Personal Firewall, Comodo BOClean, Spybot Search & Destroy as an after-the-fact scanner with TeaTimer uninstalled and Spyware Blaster with full protection on it. I'm just missing the anti-virus program, which would be Comodo AntiVirus, and would give me the same setup as my other, clean system, which I'm very happy with.

    I created a thread on the Comodo forums as you suggested, I'll see what they have to say.

    Thanks.
