That probably is not a bug but a problem of design.
When using “Safe Mode” and not checking “Create rules for safe application”, such rules are created. That was very confusing for me because I expected no rules to be created automatically. Now I’m using “Custom Policy Mode” and created a rule that asks when an executable tries to connect to the network.
I am wondering what the checkbox “Create rules for safe application” is good for (or when it is used)…
Version: 4.0.141842.828
You know, I had this problem too when I first upgraded to v4 see this post https://forums.comodo.com/news-announcements-feedback-cis/comodo-internet-security-40141842828-released-t55172.0.html;msg388798#msg388798
but it hasn’t happened since then.
Thanks four your response.
The problem reported in the other post looks similar to mine.
I hope comodo will improve that part of software.
Operating System: Windows 7 Pro b7600 x64
CIS version: 4.0.141842.828
Predefined configuration: COMODO - Proactive Security
Defense+ mode: Safe Mode
Creating rules for Safe Applications: Disabled
I have a similar issue with Defense+. Even though option ‘Creating rules for safe applications’ is disabled, rules for some safe application are still created. I removed almost all rules for safe application from Computer Security Policy leaving only the file group policies predefined by Comodo and a few custom rules for processes: explorer.exe, cmd.exe, runonce.exe, taskeng.exe. These are set to Windows System Application. So in total I have now 33 policies in Computer Security Policy. Each time I reboot PC 5 rules for safe applications are recreated for the following processes.
C:\Windows\System32\wininit.exe C:\Windows\System32\services.exe C:\Windows\System32\lsm.exe C:\Windows\System32\LogonUI.exe C:\Windows\System32\nvvsvc.exe
These are safe applications, and I do not get any alert for them. Rules for Java, Firefox or Thunderbird are not recreated.
