Autoupdate steal window focus
« on: October 31, 2010, 11:17:40 AM »
Windows XP home SP3 (fully updated)
Avast Free 5.0.677
Comodo Firewall 5 (latest version)

In this version of Avast, i have strange issue. Always during autoupdate, Avast steal focus from active window.
If this happen when for example Firefox launched, Firefox window stay inactive for 5-10 seconds than back to normal.
BUT this is most annoying when i play fullscreen game, which jump to desktop of XP.

Any suggestion how to resolve this behavior?

I never had this issue before.

Don't think so, others on this forum use it without problems, but sure it could depend on the settings you made...

After last fullscreen game desktop-jump, i'm fast switch to task manager and... Comodo Firewall autoupdate is causing this.
I found thread about it on Comodo forum too.
