Please see attached image. Is it just me or the proximity of “Submit to Valkyrie” and “Run as Trusted Application” is too close for comfort? Sure there is UAC dialog in between, but this is really bad design, by design. You want to submit potential malware to valkyrie and you by accident run it as a trusted file. There should really be CCAV confirmation dialog when selecting “Run as Trusted Application” so you can’t run malware by mistake when trying to submit a file…
And you still have “Run in sandbox” next to “Run as trusted”. Imagine you want to run something malicious in sandbox and you end up mistakenly running it without restrictions on a live system. Not cool. No matter how you re-arrange it, you’ll always have a potential disaster at hands unless you make a dialog that asks you if you really want to run it as trusted. It’s just safer this way. Or maybe make a wider empty gap between “Run as trusted” and the rest of selections. Like for example 1 empty entry in between to make a chance of misclicking drastically lower.
Plus they should realise that placing the two together or even in the same list is to create a problem where Comodo will be blamed for any associated problems.
I am afraid users are not likely to think they pressed the wrong link.
Even if they will, it’ll be too late anyway. Is it really so hard to add a dialog for “Run as trusted” that would simply ask user “Do you really want to run X outside sandbox?” With answers YES and NO. If user confirms with YES, run unrestricted. If user clicks NO, do nothing. It’s few lines of a simple code that will make all the difference.
