Making app development impossible

Comodo Internet Security - CIS Defense+ / Sandbox Help - CIS
1

Product version: 7.0.317799.4142

I am using eclipse IDE for android C/C++ development on windows 7.

Each time I try to build or run either a debug or release version, comodo is blocking it and or calling it malware.

It’s not, it’s my app and it’s very very annoying and seriously hampering my productivity.

I want to totally exclude comodo from acting on any files within my dev folder in any fashion unless specifically asked to from context menu.

How?
