McAfee Overactive Firewall

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone else had noticed that the McAfee Personal
Firewall Plus actually causes an exception to occur if you decided to block
access for any application that wishes to use the "Windows Application
Framework".

Presumably this is because the application framework uses remoting in
order to communicate with a previous instance, although this can hardly be
seen as a security risk!

Has anyone any ideas on how to get around this issue? Thanks in
advance.
