Comodo Firewall Pro problem with Adaware SE and Spybot S&D

Help for v2
1

Comodo Firewall Pro version 2.4.18.184 allows Adaware SE and Spybot S&D 1.4 to access the internet, even though they are not allowed on the Application Control rules. It asks me about every other application, but these two slip through without a peep. Is this a security hole?

I run a fully updated (Windows Update) version of Windows XP Home SP2.

Hi accz, welcome to the forums.

It is probably because both of those applications are white-listed (Trusted Applications) by Comodo. You can test this by turning off the Comodo Trusted Apps option… I’m not currently running 2.4, but I believe it is somewhere under Security tab - Advanced section… probably the Miscellaneous config.

Hi kail, thanks for trying to help.

I’ve looked in all of the configs in the advanced section of the security tab, and I can’t see a trusted apps option, is there anything else I can do?

Hi accz,

First of all, open up CPF Interface, go to Secuirty->Advanced, and then in the Miscellaneous, then uncheck the box thaty says: ‘Do not show any alerts for the applicaitons certified by COMODO’.
