Downloading it now.

 

The last 1-2 months I use this plus Threatfire on all my PCs. Combo seems to work well.

 

Theres no need to use both of them.. Use one or the other

 

Until I see some tests showing CIS's detection rates, I prefer the extra protection of TF. They are both really low with Ram usage, so I figure it can't hurt.

 

I'm reffering to Defense+, Not the av component. ThreatFire is a Behavoiral HIPS.
If your going to look at threatfires ratings on applications and listen to them, you might aswell not use D+ and use just threatfire. Defense+ is more "full blown" however theatfire is more user friendly!

 

Well, HIPS are stupid, behavior detectors are not.

 

U can do it even without that.

 

This is the offical major update to COMODO Firewall Pro 3.0.25.378, Where you can install the Antivirus or Firewall using the same setup.

Many... MANY... fixes and improvements. Reduced Memory Usage! Thats really good, especially when the AV was added, and the AV is VERY Fast on-access, by the way it's CAV 3. Even though detection rates are still not up to prime time yet, but will get there.

Hope everyone enjoys this First Free Securiy Suite! Many months of hard work, This is only the beginning... (Melih).

 

First i installed CIS with the AV to see how it is. Seemed to run fine, very low resource usage and no conflict even with Twister AV on. I noticed the D+ settings are reduced out of the box, but one can check all boxes again.

At the end i uninstalled and made a clean reinstallation of the firewall only. I don't think i need the av part yet. With the firewall only you no longer get the malware on demand scanner. But, if you install the AV too, you can disable resident scanner of CAVS, so in all effects you have the scanner on demand.

Given the strength of D+, even if the AV isn't top right now, this sure is an impressive package and for experienced HIPS users, i think the suite is more than enough and all... for free!

I also have the feeling that the firewall is a tad snappier now. It seems a really good version.

P.S: During installation of firewall with D+, now there are 2 new voices "Optimal" and "Maximum" security. The maximum is the one with alla D+ options enabled.

 

Using this nice security package with Geswall and its working out very well. Great job to the Comodo team!

HIPS are only stupid if the user behind it doesn't know what to do.


@Ice;

Me too! I'm using Geswall beside CIS and loving it.. Feels light and secure huh?
Will be good when detections raise

EDIT:: Haha just looked at your signature. My setup is exactly the same.. Even MBAM. I don't use anything else.. Those 3 are great together

 

My only complaint with this version is that at startup, it wants to establish https connection (port 443) to Comodo HQ in GB, although i have unchecked every box about automatic update, file submission etc.

But is is a minor annoyance.

 

Could this be the Golden Bullet they are talking about?

Ice

 

any word on the capabilities of its AV&AS engine?

 

Not yet for the recent release but it is still low for prime AV.The FW is a lot better tho.

 

AV is still young, But Defense+ is there for prevention based antimalware.

Josh

 

It is only a matter of time. If Comodo will produce its antivirus with the same quality of firewall and hips, also the antivirus product will become the reference.

 

i doubt it but may it be true

 

Hehe, Don't spit in the water, You may have to drink it
I heard about 2 weeks ago that they have 400 000+ Unique signatures (Not Including Varients), And recently Melih said that they have 2m samples waiting to be added

 

please select your way of expressing your excitement the rest is ok. don't have to be so defensive

 

Do you guys install the safesurf toolbar ? and when you don't do you miss a big thing

Cause i don't like toolbars

 

I hate it and never installed. Never miss any thing.

 

No, I never install any toolbars...

 

Okay, I've installed CIS (without safesurf/toolbar) it looks nice, i give it a try
