The bug/issue
1. What you did:
Opened an application D+ did not recognise, was greeted by the normal box asking me to allow or deny.
2. What actually happened or you actually saw:
Upon clicking allow, the application froze and when I opened task manager, I saw cfp.exe was using 25% cpu. It also increased in memory usage, from ~2500k to ~11000k. About 2 minutes(!) later the application continued to run as expected.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that attempting to open the UI has no use at this point, it does not open until cfp stops using the CPU. If the UI is already open it becomes completely unresponsive.
3. What you expected to happen or see:
The application should have instantly been allowed to continue instantly with
4. How you tried to fix it & what happened:
Set D+ to disabled, everything runs smoothly.
5. If its an application compatibility problem have you tried the application fixes here?:
This happens whenever I am asked about an application.
6. Details & exact version of any application (execpt CIS) involved with download link:
http://www.creativelement.com/powertools/
This was the application I was using. I was trying to force a file association with this tool because the one in windows was broken for some reason.
However, this problem happens whenever D+ asks me to make a verdict, REGARDLESS OF THE APPLICATION IN QUESTION.
7. Whether you can make the problem happen again, and if so exact steps to make it happen:
Find an app not on D+'s safe list, set it to Clean PC mode, wait for popup.
8. Any other information (eg your guess regarding the cause, with reasons):
I think it is happening because D+ has to open the entire safe files list every time it wants to add a new rule to it. My safe files list is quite big (I think) and when opening it from the UI it takes more or less a minute to open.
