Was 2007 a good year?

Yes it was a wonderful year
Yes, but there is always room for improvement
Status quo

Have recently installed Comodo FW and cannot stop the pop-up 'Svchost.exe'
I know it is safe, but it is driving me mad, every time I log on I have to click 'allow' at least 8/9 times, it is the same when I open Mail washer and browser,
please can anyone tell me in plain english how to stop it doing this.

Have tried there forum, and all I get is to download a load of other things, I get no straight answers.

Straight answers please

Hi widgetwilk and welcome to CastleCops I know exactly what you mean about straight answers over there!

When you get a pop-up do you check the 'remember' box before you decide to allow or disallow a connection?

There are two other things I know will help to reduce pop-ups. Firstly, have you scanned for known applications? You can do this by clicking on the Security tab and then under Tasks it is at the bottom right of the screen. Secondly, again under the Security tab click on Advanced and then on the Configure tab on the Miscellaneous section and you can adjust the alert level frequency to what ever you feel is suitable .

Hope this helps BL
