Clearly HIPS was on at the time of the block and you need to stop relying on blocked applications list as it does not provide any useful information on the cause of the block, you need to review the HIPS event log to see details of HIPS blocked actions.

Thank you! As soon as I installed Comodo I started modifying its settings using CruelSister’s suggestions. Looking at the timestamp in the log I see that HIPS was on just a few minutes before I started the tweaks which included disabling HIPS. So, you are right. :slight_smile:
