    Very light on CPU and RAM. Not sure how to interpret the IO data.

    LOLZ goes to you. :D

    @arjunned: Thanks for the data... all I do is compare it to other software that I know works light, and from what I can see, COMODO should be very light in this aspect as well. ;)


    EDIT: On second check, maybe not that light... either that, or Malwarebytes is simply ridiculous when it comes to its resource usage. :D Gonna test it anyway, just to see how it does. :)

    CIS v4 is awesome. Just threw 20 new malware at it, and the AV caught abt 70% of 'em. The others were caught by D+.

    D+ recognized them, or did the sandbox kick in on those because it was unknown? :)

    So far nothing comes out of the zanbak, as it's called in Dutch :)

    I can download what I want but it stays where it is: in the sandbox.

    Only if you want it to. You can take programs out of the sandbox if you want

    D+ for a few. Sandbox for the rest.
    Sorry i didnt mention that. :)

    I dont think CIS can be tested fairly (as an AV) without all of its components running (ie AV, D+ with Sandbox). It works best as a complete suite.

    Just tested it out by running a rogue. Up came a fake Action Center window, along with a Comodo notification saying the program was sandboxed. The rogue thought it was properly installed on my system, but really it was in a sandbox and didn't touch my system at all. Ended the process and everything was fine.

    I'm really liking this so far.

    Programs that are automatically added to the sandbox show up in My Pending Files. The files in there are sent to Comodo for analysis, but you can take them out of the sandbox by selecting them moving them to My Own Safe Files.

    You could also just wait and once Comodo verifies it's safe it'll the taken out automatically... but that could take a while.

    Check the Defense+ events and look for anything that says "Sandboxed As"

    I downloaded ccleaner again. It's still in the Firefox bar, but nowhere to be found. Nothing under My pending files either. I can start it up out of the bar but the file itself is nowhere on the drive, so it seems. Not in my Download dir anyway, where it should go to with the sandbox.

    EDIT: On the C drive I found the sandbox dir and there was the file. But I don't get it why Comodo doesn't show it anywhere in the program.

    Sorry to say this, but this product is not final. Only had a bunch of unrecognized, well-known programs, notifications, prompts and problems with my internet connection (couldn't browse AT ALL with Chrome for example) - no thank you.

    Typing this from Chrome. You can add chrome.exe to the trusted files in the firewall and it works without a hassle.

    Oh, I didn't know you downloaded the program in the sandbox.

    What you should do is create a folder in the Firefox sandbox folder for your downloads, then create a shortcut to it somewhere else so you can easily access your downloads.

    Not really impressed with CIS 4...

    I think the sandbox and Defense+ should work together, not separately.
    I noticed that usually harmless programs are sandboxed but real malware asks for elevated privileges, and after that it can do anything without any Defense+ alerts. Not good...

    And I thought Comodo was supposed to be a 2-way firewall... I don't think it's a good idea to allow all outbound connections by default (just to reduce the number of popups).

    SO Live Support still loads without the option to uncheck it? Can you still uninstall it seperate from the rest of the app?

    Also regarding the sandbox, does it still cause issues with Steam. It made Tourchlight crash constantly for me. Once I disable the sandbox, the game ran fine.

    Once you get the sandbox alert for the Steam game, made sure you don't select to keep it in the sandbox. Then you have to restart Steam and that game should run fine.
