comodo CIS uninstall
Are you using by any instance the NVIDIA firewall that comes or came with certain NVIDIA motherboard chipsets? If so disable it; it is known to cause troubles.

Are you willing to try a clean install? Then do as follows (forget about the Legacy keys as they are waaayy too much work):
Quote

Uninstall CIS and reboot. Then run Comodo System Cleaner to get rid off registry keys.

Then delete the Comodo folders under Program Files, Program Files\Common Files, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ . 
For Vista/Win7 
Users\%username%\appdata\local\,  Users\%username%\appdata\roaming\  and  \Users\%username%\appdata\local\virtual store 

To be even more thorough open Device Manager and set it to show hidden devices under menu option View. Then see if there are Comodo driver(s) left in non Plug and Play drivers. If so select the driver --> click right --> uninstall and reboot.

Now delete the following:
     C:\boot.ini.comodofirewall (this file may not exist).  
          WARNING: Do not mistakenly remove the original “boot.ini”.
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\cmdGuard.sys
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\cmdhlp.sys
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\inspect.sys
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\guard32.dl

*Note: It may not be possible to remove these "LEGACY" keys.  If you cannot delete them, leave them in the registry.  However, I have subsequently found that you MAY be able to remove these keys in Safe Mode by using a third-party registry tool.  To permanently remove them may also require modifying the Permissions for each key.  See: http://forums.comodo.com/help_for_v3/comprehensive_instructions_for_completely_removing_comodo_firewall_pro_info-t17220.0.html;msg119226#msg119226
