    Recently my laptop has started opening Comodo firewall on startup.
    On startup it not only begins running in the background but it also opens it up.
    I think that it may be a result of changing the registry settings to speed up shut down according to the xp tips and tweaks thread. Is it possible that comodo is not getting fully shut down properly before windows closes and this is the result?

    Thanks

    Thanks Hiker

    It was the update causing the registry entries to be doubled up. I deleted the one for Comodo Internet Security since I only have the firewall installed. That fixed the problem. Firewall still runs correctly and opens on startup minimized.
