Alert with Windows S5GC1HF SSE2

(moderation:
When program file einstein_S5GC1HF_3.04_windows_intelx86__S5GCESSE2.exe tries to run. I get a security alert stating that the publisher for application has not digitally signed it. That causes the application to fail. When I am not sitting at my computer(s) to reply to the alert. Making my computer(s) unreliable. I have already added the application file to the security software trusted program/application list. I still get the security alert.
I ran a test with program files einstein_S5GC1HF_3.04_windows_intelx86.exe and einstein_S5GC1HF_3.04_windows_intelx86__S5GCESSE.exe they run without security alert.

Most people exclude Boinc from their anti-virus but now it looks like it needs to be excluded from the firewall too!

From the other thread I was happy to see that "Kaspersky was annoyed" that the .EXE file was not signed by publisher. Now if the publisher would have only signed the .EXE file. There would be no problem.
I will just suspended processing of Einstein. Easier then faking out Comodo for unsigned .EXE file.
I could use a app_info.xml to execute one of the other .EXE files that are signed. The drawback I will get no automatic updates.

i posted a work around near

i posted a work around near the bottom, its not an ideal work around as it allows boinc to run "any" file and comodo wont complain about it. BUT thats only a risk if a project is compromised, and that would be pretty rare.
and yes, if the exe was signed we could tell comodo to just add the publisher to the approved vendors list. im familure with signing files using PGP but im not sure if that counts here or if comodo would insist on a known signer like verisign (pricey)
but if your comfortable with the work around i posted it should work fine. i have boinc installed on a per user level instead of as a service, if you have it as a service i think youl want to set the policy for boinc.exe instead of boincmgr.exe but im not certain on that.
seeing without seeing is something the blind learn to do, and seeing beyond vision can be a gift.
