Overview

COMODO Internet Security Complete 2013 is a software program developed by COMODO. The most common release is 6.3.39949.2976, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The programs's main executable is cistray.exe and has been seen to consume an average CPU of less than one percent, and utilizes about 6.77 MB of memory. The setup package generally installs about 46 files. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 71% of users of COMODO Internet Security Complete 2013 come from the United States, it is also popular in Italy and United Kingdom.
