COMODO Internet Security 3.9 BETA then RC Discussion

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

It's so much quieter that's for sure. And noticeable performance improvement in this beta. Hey EASTER, CIS v4 is coming with Sandboxing + Time Machine (Originally called Comodo DiskShield). Also I believe a behavior blocker.

Time Machine will be the cure layer of CIS, Go back in time if ever in doubt (for your pc).

Cheers,
Josh

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

wow with timemachine integrated into CIS i cant see how u wuld need anything else other than CIS...

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

Me either tbh...

Cheers,

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

As I understand it, CIMA heuristics will also be in 4.0 instead of 3.9? I'm waiting on installing the AV until the heuristic improvements.

I wish Comodo a lot of success and that it remains free!

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

Yes CIMA Heuristics won't come till v4...

Reason is: CIMA is an online service. And it takes a long time to scan files, especially big ones, So to put this service into CIS/CAV for acceptable real time and on-demand scanner capabilities is going to take time.

Josh

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.494 BETA Released

Hi 3xist

Only 2 questions:

1. In the changelog..can you give more information about this improvement? :

FIXED! CIS handles can be closed in Windows Vista by attacker programs​

2. I was (am ) in the Italian translation team..With the new beta, Italian language is integrated since installer..BTW there are some little problems(two or three)..Is possible to give a new, corrected, version of the translation files for the final release?


Thanks

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.494 BETA Released

Q1: Since I don't use vista, I am not too sure to be honest. But what I can do it PM Egemen (Lead CIS Developer) and answer that Q for you ASAP.

Q2: Actually, Translations need to be done before final release. Can you pls PM me the problems your having so we can sort those out? Thx.

Cheers,
Josh

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.494 BETA Released

Thanks for the reply

For the Q1, it's related to this 3d, where we haven't had any official answer
...Even if it is not so important.

About Q2, I will surely PM you when we correct the files (anyway we'll finish today, I think)

Thanks again for the reply,
Kronos

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.494 BETA Released

I'll get on it for you Kronos. Thank you.

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

A difficult task to match near perfection but interesting to see how they do nonetheless.

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

ANyway, it is for windows xp, vista workstation, not working on box running server 2003+ a miss.

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

Unfortunately Xitrum, This is how development works. But hey at least CIS supports both 32bit and 64bit of XP/Vista. It aint easy developing for 64bit...

Cheers,
Josh

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

Yes, but various process modification detections and keylogger blockings are fake (F*ck, this need to change with 4.0).
Outpost is better there, nevertheless I rather use Comodo...

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

not being funny or anything but that sounds alot like a perfect solution for internet security, which is good because its free. so my question is if there is such a great solution to problems then why would people go for the paid version? or will the sandbox and time machine and behavior blocker be the paid version?
good luck comodo

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.494 BETA Released

Any answer on this one yet? It seems like there is a significant issue with the current release that has been addressed in the beta but not the production release.

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

Hello

I was wondering if SFI.DAT located in sys32 drivers dir is a Comodo file.
When right clicking on that file, Comodo shows zero objects scanned.
there are also other files in the drivers dir it does the same to. Was just wondering if it only does it to Comodo files?
With Comodo installed I get access denied to view the file. When uninstalling Comodo yesterday to install new version. I check on file access after uninstalling and before installing new version and access was not denied until after reinstalling Comodo.

When scanning SFI.DAT with any other program they all show 1 object scanned.
Guess I am wondering if it a bug or not?

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

Maybe I have better luck at Comodo forums?

This forum has grown to large and people keep bacicly posting this versus that
on top on other posts.

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

Comodo Internet Security has an AV. AV is a HUGE differentiator. Think of a keylogger not caught by the AV:

All keyloggers try to install themselves permanently. If they try to do so, they will be prevented by CIS.

Assume keylogger is executed and by chance at the same time, there is banking information entered in a web site for example, the firewall will catch it anyway.

Time Machine, Sandbox, etc will be in the free version. There is no difference between the code of the free version and the paid version. You get the same updates, same software and same features. There is no limitations. Why would people want go to the paid version? They may want TrustConnect, They may want their own PC Geek 24x7x365 and fix remotely and resolve any pc issues they have. And yes all that included for 39 $$ a year for CIS Pro subscribers. It's a nice new project for Comodo. But these are the only differences "services".

Still waiting for an answer. I will post back ASAP.

SFI.DAT is not a file of Comodo. Is this happening with 3.9 beta (latest beta) or the current release?

Cheers,
Josh

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

This is happening with last & latest beta. Could you try right clicking on various files in your driver DIR and see if you get same results?
sending the 1.4 meg files brings back this message at Virus total.

0 bytes size received / has been received an empty file

can't move, copy, or open the file, Can unlock the file with unlocker.

EDIT: after uninstalling Comodo I can do anything I want with that file and so it must be a Comodo file ;-)

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

I can't reproduce this. Very strange. Can you please do a bug report in the Comodo Forums in the beta section please. With system details, security software, etc.

Cheers,
Josh

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

Currently running latest CIS 3.9.74199.494 beta with no issues here on 2nd XP Pro sp2 laptop.

What other security apps would you recommend alongside CIS?

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

None, at least not if you use proactive config. Adding default browser's folders to my protected files wouldn't hurt neither.

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

3xist

I have confirmed the file SFI.DAT is a Comodo file. After uninstalling Comodo, I was able to delete the file and when reinstalling Comodo, the file comes back. It appears it is only DAT files created on the day Comodo was installed. I did a search for *.dat files and the ones created on the day Comodo was installed all come up with zero objects scanned with a right click scan. But you should have a sfi.dat file created by Comodo that shows zero with a right click scan in your drivers DIR.

I will post over at Comodo forums.

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.489 BETA Released

Okay, Thank you for confirming.

Cheers,
Josh

 

Re: COMODO Internet Security 3.9.73015.494 BETA Released

Hi Kronos.

Here is the answer to Question one from the lead developer:

"Some programs can close some handles in CIS processes and can cause it to stop working properly. Nothing serious."

Hope that helps. This was just a genuine private messages response.

Cheers,
Josh
