Is your copy of Comodo the latest version? Please check by opening the GUI > More > Check for Updates.
Quote:I opened up Comodo and under current connections I had about 100 (Normally have about 15) and this is what I saw...
"Current connections"? Do you mean "Outbound connection(s)"?

It would have been more useful if you included in the screenshot the outgoing file itself.
Quote:Does someone know if that is normal for Comodo to be making all those connections? It was under the program name of cmdagent.exe.
All one hundred? That module is from Comodo, and it only happens when it is updating.
Quote:My other question is, does anyone know if these files are safe? I have about 500 partially limited files that are under native image and I just don't know enough about it to make an educated decision.
You need to tell me under what settings you are running Comodo. There's another way but I'd rather you do this.

Quote:Before someone says it, yes I did google it, but it is linked to many different things and wasn't very direct.
The assembly folder contains .NET assemblies, relating to GAC.NET. I suppose you have various frameworks installed thus this isn't an issue of security.

You may use "Purge", if and only if the things located here are all under C:\Windows\Assembly.
