Hi, I just recently installed Comodo Firewall along with Comodo Internet Security Essentials. I have a few questions about how the program works. I do have a decent understanding of computer technology, but I’m not too well versed on how Firewalls and HIPS works, and yes I have read the guides that have been posted on this site.

Why is it that when I select to allow an application through my Firewall/HIPS that the program still gets blocked by HIPS or my Firewall yet I can still open it? For example, today I installed a driver detector (Just so that I could see what drivers were outdated), and I selected to treat the application as an allowed one, same with the firewall settings, but then I went to go check the unblock an application tab I noticed that the program had been blocked?

I decided to block Explorer. exe from connecting to the internet, but when I went to go check the unblock application section, I noticed that HIPS had also blocked the application. Why did that occur and why didn’t I get a notification when it happened?
