I’m using Comodo AV & FW since a few months, with good results 'till now. Point is that since some time I’m plagued by alerts about possible hijacking through scvhost and Internet Explorer.
The alerts always come up during the use of IE, either when opening a new page or during surfing on a page change.
The big point is that the possible hijacker is some programme that I’ve been using in that session. Can be anything, just as an example: PSEL v3, Noiseninja, Pixmantec RSP, but also programmes that I did write like my e-mail client or my clock synch, which I know for sure that will not try to hijack anything. They seem to “stick” for Comodo, I mean that the alert point to them, even after they have been ended.
Just had an alert with cpfupdat.exe, a Comodo component, and this night I had one that alerted me that Skype was trying to hijack … Skype.
My system (Win2k, updated to a few days ago both for MS and Comodo) is pretty much steady, I’m not installing new programmes very often, and has been checked for trojians and so on with no result.
This has become pretty annoying, so, short of dropping Comodo FW, what can I do?
