[Qt-creator] No Debugging on WinXP with Comodo Firewall

[Sebastian Fischer]

Hello,

I've just installed Qt Creator (Windows XP SP3) since I've been
looking for a fast and useable IDE for delevoping Qt apps for a while
and have to say I'm quite impressed.

The  only problem so far is, that I can't debug with it at all as long
as  the COMODO Firewall's 'Defense+' is active. This installs a system
hook  via  C:\WINDOWS\system32\guard32.dll  which is invoked everytime
any  application  is  launched. This seems to confuse either gdb or Qt
Creator  so that when I want to start debugging it halts in that file.
I  can't  contine,  step over/out or do anything that seems to have an
effect.
Disabling the entire Defense+ mechanism was the only way I could find
to overcome this (which requires a restart to remove the hook).

bye
