Comodo AV better now?

Yes. Right.

But by default... This is the default pop up style. More options give more Advanced users the options back.

Yep! On-demand scanning has been improved, Infact it's even faster in v3.9. It will always been improved!

Regarding computer slow down with scanning, are you having this issue? Can you tell me how much RAM it's running while scanning? But as always... Always improving things. Regarding Avira or Comodo, Well I'll give you an honest answer: With CIS, the AV is designed to work together with D+ & Firewall. You get an AV Alert, you will NOT get a D+ Alert for example. With Avira, A malware runs, You get a D+ Alert, and if Avira KNOWS its bad, you will also get that Alert from Avira. So using just CIS makes malware usability a whole lot easier. If your happy with CIS, stick with it. I have used Avira, AVG and NOD32 etc in the past. I personally, Like CIS and browse with Sandboxie - Only because I am use to recognizing malware from Defense+ Alerts. But people are different, v3.9 is a whole lot easier to use, Avira obviously is one of the top AV's and Comodo is not at the moment. But great progress is being made to the Comodo AV as I am sure some people would know. The choice is yours.

Well why your computer is doing any malware scan your suppose to leave it alone.

Anyway. Maybe you can post this in the feedback board in the CIS Board about improvements regarding this. CIS usability won't stop here by the way. There will be a version before v4.0 is out that will cut Alerts down even further, If not NONE!

This among other things sounds very cool. So, apart from D+, CIS will also feature BB? Will this feature be available even if I don't run D+ in CIS, and can you compare it to ThreatFire or something in how it operates?

Does most FPs even get fixed automatically? Might even test CIS with AV only earlier... will run it in conjunction with TF to name one, so I'll probably have D+ disabled - not the HIPS type of user. Will the new release (the new beta that's) be available publically with its download link - public beta?

 

BB And Sandboxing is what is Scheduled for v4. All reported FP's get fixed under a day, Manually by the AV Analysts, Check the forums. I am not sure if BB will be separate from D+ yet, And not sure how it operates yet either.

Currently the beta is only available for Comodo Forum users. However, I can send you a link. But I'll send you BETA 2 tomorrow, Beta 2 is due out in a number of hours... Let me know if you want it and I'll send it to your Wilders acct.

Cheers,
Josh

 

Comodo will made a Behavioral Blocker!?

Finally good news...!

 

Yes although details are scarce at the moment.I really hope it's a Mamutu clone personally.

 

Yep, maybe we can have more details soon...

They also say that version 4.0 will have a new GUI and fix other issues, so maybe this will a new age for Comodo...

 

Well, it took 3 days for my FP's and it took so long to add new samples i just gave up checking anymore. They are probably detected now but thats like almost 2 weeks ago. Toooooo slooooooow.

 

They want to make everything, but they didn't try to make them well, so...

 

Okay, hope I don't run into any FPs then, just like you, since I don't post on the COMODO forums.

Yes, it would be great to receive that new beta version.


Thanks.

 

Hmmm... i don,t think it will be a standalone application. Probably something integrated in to CIS only.

 

I just finished testing the CIS latest package for free, it look like it can detect and denied access but one problem with it. Seems to show dirty malware as images of icons needed for WinRAR shows up on all 3 systems I had install the software on. 24 threats were detected and all the threats were Bmp and Jpeg images of icons. Something is wrong there! AV scanner and the malware or are they one in the same repeated the process over and over again saying 24 for threats were all the same on all 3 PCs. That's some sort of bug there.. CIS never found the rouge spyware nor bad tracker cookies.

Out of 3 systems I had installed the CIS one had 342 intrusions (couldn't connect to my network) the other two were okay. I did check the settings and they're the same. Go figure.

 

Yes given the way Comodo has stopped development on the standalone BOClean and CMF it's a fair assumption that this'll be integrated within CIS rather than a separate app.

 

Check your PM's.

Cheers,
Josh

 

We will see how things go. No coding has started yet.

Cheers,
Josh

 

It's fast but detection isn't by far comparable with AVIRA and NOD32.
Current heuristics are as good as none.

 

I probably won't have any "issues" using it either as long as it continues to improve (then I mainly mean the AV), simply because I run it in a layered approach where other parts are the main proactive defense. Who doesn't run a layered approach simply because of that fact anyway; different software can take care of different fronts?

BTW, thx for the PM, Josh.

Cheers!

 

Forget the D+!

This is only about the AV.

For normal users the D+ is just an annoying feature and won't protect them.

 

hmm looks like ur system is unique then

 

I think Comodo continues to make forward strides in the av and the suite itself.

Why do you feel D+ is an annoying feature?
I have no problems with it and I have it set to proactive security.

It seems there is no middle ground here.
Love it or hate it.
Very little constructive criticism as with other av's or suites.

 

No other product has such a love hate relationship among users as CIS,they should rename it marmite.

 

Maybe you should first think about yours
My brother uses an Athlon 64 3200+ and AntiVir and NOD32 make the whole system much more slow than CIS AV.
Also on my X2 5400+ I can confirm my observation

 

I was using AVIRA and avast! on my Aspire One (1,6GHz Atom, 1GB DDR2 and 160GB HDD). And to be honest, i couldn't really tell a difference except that Comodo needed quite long to scan folder full of executables and installers when open. avast! had a similar problem but not as noticeable. Talking in miliseconds though. So basically no real difference. And hardware is under anything mentioned here so far.

 

I don't have nothing against D+.

But here we are talking about the AV!

 

Honestly I can't hold as a sure av an av as Comodo which accomplishes a full scan of my system in 17 minutes, whereas Kaspersky, Avira, Zone Alarm av employ 37 minutes for the same system, and so A-Squared does. I wonder how deep and sure is the Comodo av scan.
