Don't get me wrong here, but I'd rather a developer answered my question.
Unless you have a specific problem to point out, how can a developer or any one else give you an
answer a hypothetical potential problem?
Bob, Bob, Bob. If you follow my link in my first post on this thread back to last year
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=24687.0, and pop on over to the corresponding posts on the Comodo forums, you'll see that this issue has been discussed fully and in depth. And is not hypothetical!
Don't get me wrong. I like Avast! and I recommend it to anyone who asks, and I like this forum and the level of support it gives. It's main flaw is that issues like this affecting a small number of pcs tend to worm their way down the list of posts (the price of popularity, I suppose). I like both products well enough to have hung on for a resolution rather than just jumping ship, and would value a response that has detail enough to answer the question properly.
Sorry if I seem to be coming on strong about this, but it is important to me and those others that have had the problem, even if they are a minority.
