   Hi all

   Just had a Comodo Firewall popup which was etwrtdiagtrack-listener.etl asking for access to net. I denied access and on a quick search online am a bit concerned if there is a safe way to disable or remove this piece of M$ s***.

   ATM I use GWX Control Panel Monitor to control the 'update to win10' spam and am quite happy with Win7 on here. I know time is getting close to the upgrade offer ending but I dont like the idea of this program running on my PC.

   Thanks and best wishes to all.

   The file you mention is a log file (specifically, it's an Event Tracing Log). You might open the file in Event Viewer and see if you can determine what triggered the creation of the file in the first place (Event Viewer | Action | Open Saved Logs | find and open the specific log; note that if you have a listing for "Saved Logs" in the tree already you can right-click that and "open saved log"). The file itself isn't an issue, what caused it to be created might be.

   It's probably got nothing to do with upgrading to Windows 10 but I'd open the GWX Control Panel and double-check everything. I'd also "Enable Monitor Mode" if you haven't already.

   FWIW, I'm also using GWX and it hasn't notified me of any issues. Of course, I could be on an different (forced) upgrade cycle...

   Hmmm... I got far more hits Googling "Comodo Firewall popup etl" [w/out quotes] than using etwrtdiagtrack-listener.etl . I have the file, showing 0 bytes, but none of them will open as they're in use, from what I could find, likely by Windows' real time trace.
