That means a lot, since you have all kinds of stuff on your computer
Guard regularly claims that some security tools such as
VirtumundoBeGone.exe and some Sudoku game updater are suspicious, but i
also have all the extras checked in configuration < general < extended

I consider helping others more important than trying out a new program i
and others don't really need, so Comodo will have to wait for a piece of

It would have worked in older versions, but it's been a while since
updates always check for avnotify.exe and reinstall it if it's missing
or renamed.
