I have a question about this parent program feature. I will give an example:
I already added Firefox as trusted program. But when I start FF, CPF will popup a warning for some program, like Nero. The warning says that Nero put a hook into some dll file and will try to use explore.exe (which is the parent program for FF) to access internet if I run FF.
If I deny, FF will get banned and I can’t get online anymore. But if I allow, will Nero get online even if I don’t want it to? What should I choose now? :THNK
This does not only happen to FF. It happened with many other programs, such as Thunderbird, IM, etc.
That is a bug in CFP. Nero probably don’t want to go online. It’s a bug…
The only thing you can do to keep Firefox connected, is to allow it. Remember that you should not tick the remember box, since it’s not a real attempt and you don’t want a rule made for it.
I wish Comodo would fix this, TODAY, and not tomorrow… since it’s a really annoying and confusing thing for a lot of users. It’s also really bad for security reasons.
This should be put in front of HIPS and other new features they are working on.
