My Comodo firewall notified me with two popups that PSI 1.0 wanted to modify the avast program folder (during the PSI install). I allowed this - very reluctantly. Why does PSI need to tamper with my antivirus? Will PSI communicate with avast - or must I? And should I be unhappy that , even after telling Comodo (firewall) to permit, that avast allowed itself to be invaded (correct usage to say pwned?) by PSI??!! Thanks. BG |

The Secunia PSI does not in any way modify existing programs on your computer. When installing the Secunia PSI it merely creates a folder, normally, under your Program Files directory, where it places the Secunia PSI program files in. If your Comodo Firewall claims otherwise, then this is a false positive. |
