Release 1.8.5.5 will sometimes terminate abruptly if
your computer is running version 5.x of COMCTL32.DLL and you perform
the following:
1. Double-click on an attack or intruder entry
2. Restore the Defender icon
Note that the error will not occur 100% of the time; sometimes double-
clicking on an attack or intruder will work, and when it does occur,
it will not impede the attack detection and protection capabilities of
our product. This means that while the graphical interface has
terminated, any attacks that occur will not go unnoticed by our
intrusion defense agent; and at the same time, the same agent
continues to protect your computer.
If you are experiencing this issue, there is a work-around that will
minimize its occurrence. If you click the Attacks or Intruders tab
instead double-clicking the individual attack or intruder, you will
not see this problem occur. The only time you may see it is when you
are re-opening the interface from its iconized state.
This issue may also be resolved by upgrading to the latest version of
BlackICE. For more information on the upgrade process, please see
KB article q000011.
