This is an XP X64 system, and CFV3 is indeed getting very irritating in its lack of memory for things, and user responsibility to export-import settings between versions. The price is right, and there are not huge choices for X64, so thank you Comodo, for that.
To the specific point, 3.0.17.304 continues to inform me there is an update available. deja vu. One would expect that 3.0.17.304 could be clever enough to discover it IS the latest version and not bother with the prompt/notification. I could just turn off auto update, but would it not be better if it just worked in a reasonable manner in the first instance?
