CIS GUI and Log Viewer hangs when try to load icons from offline UNC paths[NBZ]


The bug/issue

  1. What you did:
    Click on View Defense+ Events

  2. What actually happened or you actually saw:
    Comodo GUI freezing (white background, waiting to respond message). After a long time (about a minute) The window opened.
    Same problem happens with the Log Viewer once you scroll to the entry.

  3. What you expected to happen or see:
    Log Window opening.

  4. How you tried to fix it & what happened:
    deleting all logs with log viewer helps.

  5. If its an application compatibility problem have you tried the application fixes here?: no

  6. Details & exact version of any application (execpt CIS) involved with download link: none

  7. Whether you can make the problem happen again, and if so exact steps to make it happen:
    steps to reproduce:
    open an unknown program from an UNC path: \computer\share\some.exe
    a CIS alert will appear
    Answer the alert.
    Disconnect \computer from the network.
    (could be necessary: reboot to clear icon cache)
    Open the Comodo Log viewer or click on View Defense+ Events
    The GUI will hang.

  8. Any other information (eg your guess regarding the cause, with reasons):
    This is probably caused by CIS trying to fetch the program’s icon. It should be fixable by using a new thread to get the icon in background, so that the GUI will not be blocked.
