I would rather use it together with Applocker rather than using CIS alone. Yes I know about applocker being circumvented.

A RC of CIS 5.8

https://forums.comodo.com/beta-corne...-t76690.0.html

Here is the 4th BETA of CIS 5.8 which addresses some bugs and puts a new option.

What's new in 5.8.209729.2104?

NEW! Enchanced Protection Mode: Defense+ now allows the users to selectively enable/disable new protecton mechanisms
FIXED! CAV crashes on various files when on bad disk sectors
FIXED! Trusted files can not be purged
FIXED! Varirous language related issues

There are many other small fixes in this release.

Enhanced protection mode option was enabled by default in previous BETAs however in this release, we disabled it by default and made available through D+ settings. We will re-enable it by default after some time once we are convinced that it works as expected in 5+ million endpoints at the same time.

What needs to be tested?

The most important features of this BETA are related to HIPS and AV. So the most valuable bugs are the REPRODUCIBLE bugs which are related to system stability issues, compatibility issues, and crashes.

You are more than welcome to test all other features as well. Please if you observe BSODs, give us the memory dumps.

Thanks for the update, though I won't even bother to try to get it to work with Windows 8.

The updates are now 83 MB. They have reduced the update size a lot from 140 MB previously to 83 MB now in 5.8 Beta.

If you like new KillSwitch then yes.

[J_L]

Not really, isn't that going to be incorporated soon anyhow?

[zakazak]

i find killswitch to be really awesome.. I just wished it wouldn't need admin rights everytime i start it

is there any similiar taskmgr btw? with cloud scanning all process, etc ?

[NSG001]

Claims AV is still weak (-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZGUljXL6Nc&feature=feedu-)

According to Melih will be incorporate as a replacement of "active process list" in CIS 6

[zakazak]

the same guy did a comparison of avast free vs cis.. and avast free (just the av) did just a little bit worse than CIS (the whole security suite). I'm not thinking again about removing comodo av (keeping fw and d+) and installing avast free

How do you expect it to work at even locating admin-privilege processes?

[zakazak]

I know its not going to work :S I just said that because then I could use it as taskmgr replacement (which is annoying with UAC popup everytime).

You really don't need UAC with an HIPS...
