Hi I posted this in the XP forum as well, but just in case anyone here has experience with this I'll post it here as well.

Recently I was in the process of changing my firewall. It was Kerio Personal Firewall (an old version, but quite good). When switching over to Comodo, I had reason to believe my computer was under attack, or its security had been breached.

The computer slowed down far worse than it ever has done, and what's more, the admin password to Kerio had inexplicably changed. So I disconnected the internet, and tried to uninstall Kerio to no avail (the process just wouldn't run). I was forced to manually delete the program before I could safely install Comodo.

Anyway, now Windows keeps on telling me there's been an Fatal Application Exit, with the error message:

"Windows - Fatal Application Exit

Kerio Personal Firewall Driver: TdiHookCallNextDriver: CurrentIrpStack->Control == 0 -> Completion routine may not be called!"

I've deleted all the files related to Kerio I can find, have run CCleaner to clean up any inconsistencies it can find, and have opened up regedit, where I deleted the Kerio registry entry. The error message still appears! Very annoying. I'm guessing there might be a .dll file somewhere? I can't find anything that is explicitly related to Kerio.

Any help with this would be great.
