Well, I was over at the Comodo forum, the first time even though I have used the thing for a long time.
You are right, a fix for the issue is unlikely soon.
I've got to make choices. Its almost like loosing a good friend as both programmes have done their job great for me (as far as I know), save the odd glitch or two
Its clearly not an issue that Avast needs to solve but it does pose a vulnerability which at the moment I am not clear how serious (or not) it is in the greater scheme.
I could, I guess, revert to avast 6 for the time being and be done with it, loosing some extra protection of the latest version.
Tricky, I like Comodo and I like Avast.
Its a bit like two stroppy children playing in a sandbox (!). Which one to remove ... ?
