Problem with Blender and Comodo Firewall

Hi.
I have a problem with Blender, a 3d program (http://www.blender.org), and Comodo Firewall 8.
With the eighth version of Comodo, Blender doesn’t work fine.
The keyboard doesn’t work into the program. It’s blocked. Comodo blocks the interaction with the keyboard.
All Blender files are in the exception of the firewall as safe files and the .exe files are trusted applications.
Can you help me?
Thanks for your patience and helpfulness.

edit. Comodo in “Proactive Security” - Firewall in “Custom ruleset” - Hips in “Safe Mode” - Auto-Sandbox in “disable”.

I have Windows 8.1 64bit with Kasperky Antivirus 2015, Comodo Firewall 8, Antilogger Free, Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit and Hitman Pro Alert.
Blender is in the exceptions of all security programs.

Try adding a exception for Blender under the behavior blocker tab.

#3

Where is the behavior blocker tab in Comodo Firewall 8?
There is only trusted files tab.
I tried to reinstall Comodo.
In default settings (firewall security) Blender and the keyboard work fine but when I import my proactive configuration the problem come back.
There are some settings that block the keyboard.

Hi, Vittorio

Try adding Blender manually to the hips rules as allowed if it’s not already there. If that does not work try installer or updater. Your going to receive a warning message on the second option. If you download Blender from the official website it should be safe.

Good Luck

I’m sorry but it doesn’t work.
How can I reset to default the proactive configuration?

#6

Did you make sure that python.exe and pythonw.exe are trusted as well so they don’t get sandboxed?

#7

The sandbox is disabled.
Where are these files?
In the Blender (v2.73a) folder, I didn’t find them.

#8

I didn’t find a way to make Blender work with the proactive configuration.
Any idea?

Here are some screenshots of my setting of Comodo.
I’m sorry for some italian writing.
“Applicazione sicura” is “Allowed application”.

Comodo in “Proactive Security” - Firewall in “Custom ruleset” - Hips in “Safe Mode” - Auto-Sandbox in “disable”.

Update.
Other screenshots.

When I start Blender, Comodo shows these popups and I allow all.

But the latter popup seems not to work.

I allow it but it doesn’t work.

I tried all.
It doesn’t work in any way neither “Allowed application” nor other way (Installer or Update, Windows System Application etc.).
I also added the files in Trusted Files.

Is it a bug or an incompatibility?

I have Windows 8.1 64bit with Kasperky Antivirus 2015, Comodo Firewall 8, Antilogger Free, Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit and Hitman Pro Alert.

Well, I found the problem.

It’s the “Enable enhanced protection mode” for 64 bit OS.

If I deactivate it, Blender work fine.
What do you suggest?

I have Windows 8.1 64 bit.
