| 689316 | 2008-07-16 08:22:00 | just trying comodo at the moment. its allready annoying the crap out of me. its letting every program through without asking. some of the basic things are tucked away which is a pain. ok found where to change that, still its rather bad that it lets everything through by default :( You must have something set up wrong then, eg: if you have it on clean PC mode it automatically assumes that all executables currently on your system are safe, and only prompts for any new ones |

| 689317 | 2008-07-16 08:32:00 | First problem - I CAN send emails, but CAN'T receive them (I use Mailwasher). Any suggestions? Haven't yet worked out where to 'fiddle' - the initial scan is still running... :( | R.M. (561) | ||
| 689318 | 2008-07-16 09:03:00 | When you open mailwasher, a pop up window should come up, did you select " treat this application as" then in the drop down box to the right select " trusted Application" & press OK ??? Example of pop up and location to check (www.imagef1.net.nz) The pic is from the Comodo site, ignore the block settings etc, but the arrow is correct |

| 689320 | 2008-07-16 09:11:00 | Oops - premature panic! :blush: All AOK now (at least for the moment - can't guarantee tomorrow!). All came right after the initial scan finished (2 hours later... I have lots of photos). |

| 689321 | 2008-07-16 09:19:00 | Awhhhhh you let it do a spyware scan - only done that once - only once;) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 689322 | 2008-07-16 09:46:00 | You must have something set up wrong then, eg: if you have it on clean PC mode it automatically assumes that all executables currently on your system are safe, and only prompts for any new ones EXACTLY . . . . . . . . which is what the problem was . it assumes everything is fine and lets everything through without asking ! ! ! arrghhhhh ! ! they could have least had a default rule for svchost so the newbies don't let a worm in . |

Thats one good reason not to do the spyware scan ( apart from it takes a while) :D I'd rather trust the other antispyware programs, and leave the firewall to a firewall, once set though it shouldn't bother you. If its setup correctly in the first place you shouldn't get many pop ups. I set one up today at a customers house - opened all the programs that required internet access, or any sort of updates, allowed them through - took all of 10 minutes. Some PC's I have here have Comodo, others have Esets Smart Security, the Comodo ones, it's lucky or unlucky depending how you look at it if I get a pop up every two - three weeks. Only time I get them is if a program has been updated or a new one installed. |

Did the same on a friend's PC. Both WinXP. Does NOT let everything through but instead give pop ups again and again and again. Yes, I do tick "Trusted Application" or "Allow" + "Remember", but it take a reboot for Comodo to learn. Any new application (even opening a text or msword file) will not open until I tell Comodo to allow it. Same on my friend's pc. Tweak, not sure why your's lets everything through. The number of pop ups can be really annoying - sometimes 10 or more for the same program. BTW, I got rid of ZA Security Suite because: 1. It would not remember to allow my printer to print, and 2. Virus and Spyware scans never found anything (other programs did find stuff). |
