Hello All,
I have multiple AMD systems running Windows W8.1 x86-64.
AMD systems always have problems with softs as the vast majority are developed on Intel; lots of softs do not play well on AMD systems. To make matters worse, security softwares are fussy about firmware - and especially about some OEM Windows OS installs. If you are dedicated AMD user then you know exactly what I mean...
From extensive testing, these are the AVs are stable on my specific systems.
There are multiple ways to handle the AMD\ATI files in Comodo. I think this one is the most straight-forward:
Before installing Comodo, disable AMD\ATI CCC startup in Task Manager. Reboot. Install CIS. Once CIS install is complete - including required Comodo install reboot, goto File List. Add all AMD\ATI folders to list as "Trusted." Re-enable CCC startup in Task Manager. Reboot.
Every time AMD\ATI CCC is updated to next version, e.g. 14.2 -> 15.4, it is best to follow same procedure.
I admit, a bit of a rigmarole.
NOTE:
In an effort to mitigate the Comodo - AMD\ATI CCC issue, I have submitted the most recent CCC versions for white-listing by Comodo. We'll have to wait and see if they simply white-list the installer or all the .exes, .dlls, etc.
Despite my best efforts, the AVs that I could not get to work properly or malfunction on my AMD W8.1 systems include:
