Press on download page and when Hijackthis.exe is downloaded click on it to launch it. HijackThis will be executed and no pop up alert from Comodo Defence Plus. If you execute HijackThis.exe via explorer, Defence Plus does give a pop up alert.
Is it some thing expected? Please reply. Note that I don’t get this behavior on XP with CIS v 5.
Edit: With Paranoid I get alerts that chrome.exe is trying to launch HijackThis.exe and same alert for explorer.exe when trying to launch the file from there.
I imported and activated your config but I can still not replicate the issue, HijackThis.exe launched from chrome.exe gives alert, the same way if I launch it from explorer.exe
If it possible that you ran Chrome and then answered “Treat as > Installer/updater” but didn’t check “remember my answer”? To rule out that possibility, have you tried restarting the system?
No, I tried it since few days many times. Seems something specific to my system. Any way, I am satisfied that it’s probably not some bug in CIS. BTW just want to sure did you tried it with chrome browser( just making sure that the browser used by you was chrome)?
OK, thanks for your help. I will just leave it like this at the moment. Might investigate it further later on.
Thanks for taking time to test it for me.
