    Just a thought. Since CIS is out of beta, maybe a new thread should be started for COMODO Internet Security 3.5 Released!

    How come I'm not surprised?:rolleyes:
    Besides joking, Comodo's av is still young. Malware detection in the "test" was 5.9 and removal 5.7. I think that after a few months that will raise up.

    Running CIS on my laptop.
    PC mag must be smoking something in that pipe of theirs again.
    No evidence at all of any impact on the performance system.
    I think it runs better. :cool:

    That'll be a certainty if the afore-mentioned 2 million samples are added ;)

    I confirm for the CIS performance: very light. I'm a bit worried for the detection test, also if generally I don't love av's test.....but " luckily " I use it with SSM :D :cool:

    Re: COMODO Internet Security - CIS - 3.5.54375.427

    I have Windows XP and HAD COMODO PRO = Firewall + Anti-Virus.

    YES ! Marvelous. When the 3.5 update panel came on screen advising me of it, I said YES, nothing else was asked of me. Sat back, it took some time while my COMODO PRO was "updated". Re-boot, then back on screen.

    When opened my COMODO, I found my PRO version had gone ! Together with my Anti-Virus, scanning and quarantine etc. All I had left staring at me was COMODO FIREWALL ! Luckily, my personal settings (hundreds of them) on the Computer and Network Security pages were still unchanged.

    I contacted COMODO, got an immediate reply, which asked me to uninstall and download COMODO PRO on a clean re-boot with all the problems a clean re-boot has.

    I never did this and resolved my problem by sheer suck-it-and-see. It worked 100%.

    CAUSE & SOLUTION
    ===============
    CAUSE ;
    THE COMODO CIS 3.5.54375.427 update for my COMODO PRO is flawed.
    It is the new CIS version, BUT it only installs the FIREWALL.

    SOLUTION ;
    Download from the COMODO site their COMODO INTERNET SECURITY - CIS -3.5.54375.427. It is still FREE.
    Choose RUN. It downloads and then tells you that this system is already installed, what do you want to do ?

    Choose ADD/REMOVE. When the Wizard comes up, ONLY the FIREWALL box has been checked ! This is obviously where COMODO went wrong with their update - BOTH BOXES SHOULD BE CHECKED.
    If left, you only get the FIREWALL.

    Check the ANTI-VIRUS box as well on the Wizard, uncheck the 3 items at the bottom - toolbar etc. unless you want them and GO !
    This installing only takes a minute or so, then re-boot.

    When back on screen, open COMODO. You now have COMODO INTERNET SECURITY - CIS - 3.5.54375.427 complete instead of only the FIREWALL section.
    The ANTI-VIRUS, scanning, quarantine etc. are now all back and your personal data on the Security pages is still OK.

    Problem solved. I only wish COMODO had checked the ANTI-VIRUS box on THEIR OWN AUTOMATIC UPDATE. It would have saved me and many others a lot of trouble.
