    Last night, I installed the latest version of Comodo's Firewall, and while I love it, it appears to have disabled the fingerprint reader. The Windows logon screen now shows "searching for scanner" endlessly and I am forced to type in my password. I have added the enrollment wizard, logon manager, and service (dpagent) to the "Trusted' list, to no avail.

    What do I need to do to make Comodo get along with the scanner? I imagine it's a matter of having to make a certain file trusted, and barring a better solution, I may have to add every file in the "Digital Persona" folder.

    I appreciate your insight to this problem!

    Ok, I'll give that a try. Is Training Mode any less safe/secure for my PC?
