I should perhaps also have added that I just checked the Comodo log which has a large nr of deny
entries for the same application.
For some reason I often get asked about this application when I start it and Comodo creates
a new rule for it when I answer.
Now, however, after I deleted all the entries (I had over 30 identical ones) and manually added a
single one in the settings it seems Comodo now obeys it.

I have the same issue with a version of firefox (it asks often and I get a lot of rule entries) but in
this instance I am using allow so I am unaware if this sometimes is auto allowed.

Regards.
