    I was using the release candidate, so I am assuming there are not many changes in the final, though I have not seen a change log.

    CIS4 still has all the things that made me love CIS3. Some things that concerned me were

    1. cmdagent seems to eat a lot of CPU compared to other security programs
    2. no option to not install PC Live Support, which creates an additional process
    3. The two main process seem to avg about 18 meg, while in version 3 they were closer to 5 meg. I guess with the sandbox, it makes sense that the program has grown.
    4. sandbox can cause issues with some programs
    5. I like the old color scheme a lot more than the predominately red scheme.

    I am going to install the final, and see if I notice any improvements in the above.

    The only real difference I've noticed is that the final version has sandbox notifications. You get an alert if a program is automatically placed in the sandbox, and in that alert you can choose to not have it run in the sandbox if you want.

    Wow, all I use is Chrome. No issues. I had commented in the Comodo forums that the RC was running like a final on my three test computers. Sorry that's not the case with yours!

    CIS 4 Sandbox is a total mess and it keeps blocking applications even if you set them out of the sandbox and click "unblock".

    They have released an unfinished product. :(
    This is the worst final version of CIS I ever installed.

    Sorry but I tried installing WITHOUT the FW at all, so... and sandbox doesn't say anything for Chrome either. :doubt:

    With default settings I was able to run/install Win 7 2010 rogue antivirus. CIS gave me a prompt to block the process so I said yes. THen I got a pop-up saying CIS was going to sandbox the rogue because it was unknown, i agreed. Then I was unable to get to Task Manager. CIS got jacked.

    Hello,

    I did notice while downloading the full installer of CIS (x86) that ESET NOD32 version 4.0.474 database 4913 flagged that installer as a Trojan horse and severed the connection so I was unable to download it.

    Any other AV flagging this as Malware? FP?

    Thanks

    Carlos

    I think the CIS4 Sandbox is automatically disabled if it detects Sandboxie...

    CIS 4 has some issues, but if I use just the Firewall (with the rules from CIS 3) and Defense+, everything works fine.

    No. Comodo 4 Sandbox is running for me as well, along with Sandboxie.

    Can anyone tell me what the difference between the Internet Security and proactive Configurations are?

    The most obvious difference is that with proactive the firewall makes rules for outgoing connections, whereas by default all outgoing are allowed.

    It will make Application Rules which take precedence over Global. That seems to be the difference, but I don't know why allow IP out is then in the Global Rules.

    They say that NO rootkit will live with it. hmm well see. but for now they need to fix the bugs before they work on that.

    their issue is they are working on million products and not focusing on this CIS4.

    I agree. I thought CIS would have the new GUI, behavior blocker, etc by now. But can't complain when the price is right.

    so far im liking the new CIS4 very quite and working nicely for me. and yes the price is great.

    i have a feeling that this once its gets to where they say it will will give companies like Symantec and Mcafee a run for there money. they already have the sandbox now the BB and a revamped AV and this will be really strong. not to say that it isnt now :)
