Hi,

I'm having problems with BOINC and Comodo Firewall. For those who don't know, Comodo Firewall is a firewall that monitors programs activity.
Before, I had only BOINC running and worked fine so far. Then I installed Comodo Firewall and every time the screensaver gets running (I set BOINC
as screensaver) Comodo Firewall blocks it and asks me to take an action, because boinc.scr was running an exe or because rosetta*.exe accessed something else.
Now, while writing this post, I see a set of ready-to-report tasks but BOINC is not sending them. I'm not sure now if Comodo has been blocking some BOINC activity.

Has someone faced the same problem?
Since BOINC seems launching several executable for different tasks, has someone properly configured BOINC under Comodo Firewall?

Thanks

BOINC: 7.8.3(x64)
Windows 10
Several projects involved
I didn't install BOINC as service because it couldn't use my GPU otherwise.

Exclude the BOINC data directory from any type of AV.
