Comodo memory usage

Between cpf.exe and cmdagent.exe, it's only using about 10 megs of ram (5 a piece). Is there another process to Comodo I'm not aware of? Or is my Comodo broken! That doesn't seem to be that much memory, not compared to the 24 megs most people report. Prevx uses about 50 total, which is insane.

 

that seems good.
kis6.0 normaly uses like 20mb or less unless its doing a scan.

Other than the fact that it's always better to be memory efficient, i have enough not to make it an issue. But i am seeing 24.

 

heres my figures:

cmdagent.exe 10,628K
cpf.exe 16,680K

10+16=26

 

I have 2GB of RAM but see no reason to run a program (software firewall) that requires as much memory as Comodo (26+MB in my case) when there are more efficient programs available.

It also helps that I am behind a hardware firewall so I don't need all the bells and whistles that Comodo offers.

 

With 2GB i see no reason not to either. But to each their own (is this expression right?).

 

The total is about 15 megs on my machine.

 

version 2.3 it was cpf.exe=13 cmdagent.exe=8
after installing version 2.4 cpf.exe=28 cmdagent.exe=9700 total=37000
Isnt it too much?*
I only have 512mb ram.

 

cmdagent.exe 8 & cpf.exe 17 on my comp

 

HA HA I found out the problem.I had installed arovax shield to try it and it conflicted with comodo by using too much memory.Uninstalling arovax shield solved the problem Now cpf.exe=16 cmdagent.exe=9 total=25 which is okay.

 

This is the use of memory of Comodo in my PC.

 

A hardware firewall offers only inbound protection. If that's all you want, you don't need any PFW (although I recommend to enable the Windows firewall nevertheless - there have been cases where the firmware of several routers was buggy). But if you want also outbound protection, Comodo is definitely worth a try.

 

The old version of Comodo used around 21,000K on my system, but the new 2.4 is only showing today:

cmdagent.exe 5,892
cpf.exe 6,880

That's quite an improvement in my book! I only run Comodo, Avast4 and Counterspy realtime at startup on a 512MB ram WinXP SP2 machine. But these three programs usually cohabitate nicely. High memory usage may indicate a conflict between Comodo and another program you are running concurrently, Drew99GT.

 

heres my figures:

cmdagent.exe 2,664K
cpf.exe 3,100K

 

The figures posted here are all pretty low relative to the amount of ram on "average" PC nowadays,whoever it was posted with 2gb and considered 25mb too much worries far too much.If you want to use no ram:-leave it unplugged/turned off!(you won't get much work done but your ram usage will be zilch!)

 

Comodo is pretty good on memory usage.
Mine is something like 18 MB max with my 512 MB Ram.
I have been playing with it a lot past 2 days. It has been stable.
I have not noticed any memory leaks neither.

If you want to get it to see really low, just minimize the GUI window.
Comodo has been stable with me.

There was some problems with my netphone program, but I was able to sort it out. It is running as a service I think, starting very early and so I needed to put CPF alert level to tops, 'Very High' to find out the right settings.
In the end it needed only one unsolicited port to open in network rules and more to rely on SPI.

Still have not tried my torrent client, but I expect no problems on that.
Those higher memory figures some get might be running such client or if Comodo notices more memory than on my system.

That was me that posted of having 2gb of RAM and considered 25MB too much. Maybe in your mind it's worrying too much; in my mind it's not being willing to put up with any software that requires 25MB, 40MB, or whatever, when I can do the same thing with a more efficient program. I prefer to support software developers who develop efficient applications as opposed to supporting bloatware.

 

As long as memory usage AND cpu load is not excessive I prefer to pick software from an overall performance viewpoint(ie doing what its supposed to do well!)rather than just on low memory usage,after all whats a few mb between friends!

 

Then by all means...do so.

You have your preferences and I have mine....to each his own.

 

Seems that any program that even uses as little as 1MB of ram to run it but will not or can not perform it's function correctly is a waste of 1MB of ram and hard disk space. Just my take on this topic.

 

My feelings exactly,better to have slightly higher uses of PC resources(not too heavy though!)and work well than be very light on resources and do nothing apart from sit there with a fancy gui:-besides RAM is so cheap nowadays more can always(almost always anyway)be installed

 

The latest version uses a total of 19 megs on my 2mb ram machine. Not bad at all for what you get!
