    When I attempt to add a certain exe to the programs list I get a message that tells me " Onecare removed "program_name.exe" from your firewall program list because the program(s) can no longer be found on your computer. The program(s) might have been deleted"

     

    The exe has not been deleted and can be added to Windows Firewall without problem. We're using Vista SP2 also.

     

    Anyone seen this or know of a fix?
