NEW! Integrated Sandbox
Proactive Defense i.e. Defense+ now includes a built-in sandbox which combines file system/registry virtualization and least-privileged user account principle in order to combat with unknown malware.
IMPROVED! Default Deny Protection
Defense+ now automatically sandboxes all unknown applications/executables until they are analyzed.
IMPROVED! Significantly fewer number of popup alerts
Defense+, with the help of new sandboxing technologies, has a more powerful default security policy while having significantly fewer number of alerts compared to previous versions.
Also in this version, Defense+ and Firewall, by default, do not create automatic rules for already known safe applications.
IMPROVED! Popup alerts layout
The new popup alerts now include additional options which allow the users to take COMODO Time Machine snapshots or set Windows system restore points, submit suspicious files for immediate analysis.
IMPROVED! Antivirus Engine
Antivirus engine is improved for better detection and cleaning. The new engine now has disinfection support for the infected files.
A new command line virus scanner (cavscan.exe) has been introduced in order to address the need for scanning the computers in windows safe mode or scanning files transferred from MSN etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 - Do I need a separate installer if i am using a 64 bit operating system?
A1 - No. The installer will download the appropriate setup for you and install.

Q2 - I am a CIS 3.x User. Will I get the updates?
A2 - We haven't released the updates to the existing users yet. But we will. When we release, in the upcoming weeks, you will be able to update it without having to reinstall this new version.

Q3 - Do I need to download these 3 setup files in order to get all the products?
A3 - No. If you download CIS Free installer, you will be able to choose which products you want to install. We have provided standalone firewall and AV installers for convenience for some of our users. If you want to install both firewall and antivirus, you should use COMODO Internet Security Installer.

Q4 - I was a BETA tester and still using the BETA versions. What should I do?
A4 - You should uninstall the BETA version and use this new version. However, although not recommended, you can use automatic updater to update to this version from the BETA versions.

Thank you,


now im wondering what tests are going to be done. looks promising.

 

Egemen,


I see the online installer by default has the Toolbar (surf) checked, i would have this unchecked. because some people dont like or want it. should be an option.

 

Curious; did the bug that prevented WLM from being minimized to the tray in windows 7 (at least 64 bit) that was present in the beta get fixed?

 

Not sure, I haven't really had a chance to play with it at all. By what everyone is saying pretty much all of the bugs in Beta have been worked out. We should find out soon.

 

Watasha,


What is next for CIS4? curious, have it installed running well. the popup for the sandbox is nice.

 

screenshots? does it look the same as before

 

Still the same, now shows a sandbox popup.

 

so,there is no need for sandboxie with this?..
is this strong like geswall,defensewall ?HIPS.
is antivirus from comodo or third party?

 

That's a good question. I've heard a lot of talk about overhauling the GUI. Couple that with refining some of the new aspects of V4 and this thing should be looking pretty good. I'm loving it so far, it's so quiet...

 

This is Comodo AV.

 

Out of curiosity, why do you offer the download now through a 2.7 mb stub instead of a full installer[like before] when the majority of the Internet users connect through broadband?

Thank you


Carlos

on my laptop i had CFP with D+ v3. uninstalled it and installed v4. tested it with comodo leak test.exact same settings as v3.(i use cfp for a long time now and i know how to set it) without the sandbox 50/330 and with the sandbox 200/330. v3 was 330/330... whats wrong with v4?sorry to say but i`m not giving up my v3 for this c*r*a*p*

 

Why don't you do a little research, maybe go to the forum? Maybe you can figure it out in a flash. I wouldn't just throw my hands up and call it crap.

 

Thanks, Watasha! You and Comodo made my evening. Just upgraded two computers from RC to final without any problems.

I agree with your other post that this is the lightest security suite that I have ever run. The other thing I really like is that it always picks up my network and that I do not have to do anything extra to make file and printer sharing work.

 

Well thank you, you just made my evening! I really like it and I'm sure you will too. I'm glad I could help out a bit and I'm sure the all of the guys that worked hard on this appreciate your kind words. If you get time, I'm sure they would love to hear from you.

 

i just tested with all default settings and scored 150/340, are the defaults good enough for people? im not sure looking at the score.

but nonless still like it

EDIT: should ask should i be concerned?

 

When downloading I got this:

'COMODO Firewall 4 Standalone' offline installer?

What are the links for- 'COMODO Firewall 4 Standalone' offline installer (if there are any, that is)?

 

The comodo leak test is outdated, this results are normal, V4 is better than V3. Also you should read how the sandbox work.

I tested the lasted RC and I feel that this "final" version will be like a RC2.

THe offline links are:
http://download.comodo.com/cis/download/installs/xml_binaries/cis/cis_setup_x86.msi
http://download.comodo.com/cis/download/installs/xml_binaries/cis/cis_setup_x64.msi

 

That test is out of date and doesn't take the sandbox into account.

 

It really works like a charm. Hardly notice it and quite slim in cpu and ram usage.

 

Could you please check the I/O as well? I really wanna check it out - thanks.

 

If you wanna check it out so much: do it and tell me
