    Windows XP SP3 here.

    I just performed a clean up in the notebook of my wife (didn't reinstall) and among things I did was to uninstall the Comodo Firewall. Now every time I reboot computer I am getting a popup with this annoying message:

    Windows cannot find 'c:\windows\temp\dragon_setup.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.

    I am pretty sure that it is a leftover of the uninstall of the Comodo Firewall. I already searched for it in the registry but no lucky. Any advice?

    Thanks!

  2. Go to CMD
    At the Command Prompt, type: sfc /scannow

    Hope this helps.

    device manager and under view choose to show hidden drivers and scroll down to find the driver for the comodo firewall , right click and choose uninstall, restart and you should not get the message.

    I have turned off this sort of stuff in 'msconfig'. "Uncheck" in I forget which, 'services' or 'startup'. Doesnt remove, just ignores it, , ,

    Thank you guys... Since this Windows was already bugging me with other things I decided to to make a clean install and threw Zonealarm Antivirus on it. Working like a charm now!
