Thanks very much for the feedback ubuysa. I think we all agree this is inconvenient, but the feedback we are getting is that Comodo cannot do this programmatically or are advised not to on Win 7+. I am not sure exactly how this works, possibly, just to speculate, to register with the security centre programs have to stick within a range of privs and those privs exclude turning off the FW.
However we are probing in the background to see if there is not some way. If you would be kind enough to create another topic which deals with the issue of how this can be done programmatically, we may be able to make progress.
This look like an incomplete installation to me. Would you be kind enough to disable any other security programs, reboot, then try downloading, uninstalling, rebooting and installing again?
If that does not work please report a bug in the bug forum.
Sweet update. Classic skin looking great. Dear Comodo team, thanks a lot for all your hard work, we appreciate it. Thanks.
PS: this “Unblock Application” feature is not perfect. Example: we blocked some app with Firewall, now we might find the app in “Unblock Application” list. If we pressing “Unblock”, then we got this app (possibly malicious) on the Firewall’s applications list with all activity (in/out bound!!!) allowed. Thats totally wrong…
IMHO, all that the “Unblock Application” feature must do when releasing the application from it’s “cage” is to DROP the app to unknown state and wait for next users choice on this app. Am i right? You say me…
youre wrong. the hole idea of that option is so users can have a simple way of “trusting” files… if you are going to trust an file that you dont know, its your problem… be carefuly with what you know and what you dont know and let cis do its job…
@vitim: i’m not sure you get it… unblock doesn’t mean allow.
I’m horrified by thinking about what going to be happend if i’ll press unblock for the app, which was blocked by Antivirus…
I think the app must encrypt all the data and send the successfull report to it’s command center, since the file was “unblocked”…
Sure I have a Windows 7 notebook all security updates installed. Fresh install of CIS 10 and I saw the GUI issue immediately in the setup menus but I continued on to complete the installation. When I saw the issue pictured on my last post. I tried a new fresh installation but that has not fixed the issue.
If it’s a incomplete installation then that’s strange as the only security I have had on my machine is from Comodo and I have uninstalled that to instill CIS 10. I will try what you have suggested and get back to you. Tried a clean reinstall but I still have the above issue.
be carefuly with what you know and what you dont know and let cis do its job…
