One test? Or any others? Nothing is perfect.

It is a real drama with firewalls today, Comodo is vulnerable definitely.
But actually Comodo and OA are the best firewalls available.

thats why I uninstalled it. its useless Im now using eqsecure hips which passes that test.

I've tried CMF twice and both times there seemed compatability problems or
something, my computer bogs down, so i end up uninstalling...

Regarding the sys-manage test I found this post in the Comodo forum

Their test just execute few instructions from stack, this is not a real shellcode, you can't do anything without callin APIs, but CMG detects only API calls in shellcodes, not instructions.

So basically the test is fake instead of using real buffer overflow techniques

[MrBrian]

For a proof of concept buffer overflow test that doesn't involve Comodo's own test, see http://forums.comodo.com/feedbackcommentsannouncementsnews/result_of_real_world_exploit_test_comodo_memory_firewall_worked-t18683.0.html.

If I understand correctly the test creates Buffer Overflows but, unlike real exploits, the code in the BO doesn't call any API, so it can't affect the system.

interesting too.
is BufferShield the best?

Hi, nice info, but

are they most recent ?

most or all data are dated back to 2005 or 2006. ???

BufferShield is very bad. I installed it and after a reboot my PC was very slow. 100% CPU use.
I was thinking i had a virus or something. Uninstalled it, rebott and all OK again.

i have no problem with buffershield. i use without any problem, it using less memory then comodo.

but i cant decision which does has the better protection
