COMODO Internet Security 4.0.135239.742 Released

im not sure either i have disabled it. most software firewalls fail to it that.

odd i know .

 

From my experience CIS has always run along side windows fw.

 

You have 2 firewalls running at the same time?

 

Yes, they don't conflict.

 

Whether they do or they don't....why?

 

I agree with your point and personally, I manually turn Windows Firewall off via Admin Services when I am using something else. That said, Comodo does not turn off Windows Firewall when installed. I think I have read of multiple other cases here and elsewhere that other third party firewalls leave Windows FW running. One reason I have read for this is Windows FW must be running for certain other services, such as Internet Connection Sharing to work.

 

The same happens with Outpost, I dont know why.

 

Yes, I mean there must be a really important reason, yet I've not read one from the devs.

 

I think that is the nonsense. On the whole the Comodo forum members are very helpful to those asking questions, especially several of the moderators. That is the purpose of such a forum surely.

There have been many more anti Comodo rants on this forum than pro.

Hardly a valid reason not to use a product surely?

 

.
Not a valid reason, but very annoying none the less. Mindless support and thoughtless criticism are both equally unhelpful and make it harder to evaluate a product.

 

And what did you do? Keep the Windows Firewall on or did you turn it off?

 

i turned mine off via services.

 

compatible with nod & avira?

is compatible with nod32 and avira?

on my desktop i have nod installed
on my laptop i have avira personal

thanks

 

version 4.1 is said to have full vitalization from what the mods on the forums are saying.

which will be great to see added.

 

Have you ever been to Alwil's forum? Avira? God forbid SYMANTEC? Every forum for every company has fanboy's. You are right though, there is a difference in the Comodo forum; it's loose, they have a sense of humor, and they don't have a stroke if you stray off-topic every now and again (which I tend to do here and there) . Anyway, There is a very good reason the Comodo forum is one of the most active IMO. Whether or not you like the products, the forum is a totally different animal.

 

I got to many different security forums but you are saying the Comodo forum is loose? I would rather have my company's security forum strict and professional. Yeah it may be fun to have a "fun" security forum but the forum is there to help solve your problems not joke around.


(I am not saying that the Comodo forum can't solve your problems, I have been to it a few times and they got user's that are good at fixing the problems. I am just wondering about your post)

 

My post meant exactly what it said. If you're on a thread of a user that needs help, he gets help. If you're on a "grey area" thread, the entire forum doesn't fly into a tiz if someone says something the "mods" don't agree with or someone strays a bit off-topic. You can take yourself too seriously even when you have a point or a question. "Loose" doesn't necessarily mean "out of control".

 

If CIS were the only fish in the ocean, then I would possibly use it. But there are numerous other apps of equal or greater effectiveness, with users who are more civil & helpful than is the case for several denizens of the Comodo forum. So why should I subject myself to the fan-boi aggro attendant to CIS?

 

I totally agree, if I were you I would subject myself to the "fan-boi aggro attendant" of ________. (insert any other "fish")

Those "denizens" exist on every single forum I have ever been to. Security forums breed this type of user by the very nature of the product. "Numerous other apps"? Numerous other forms with numerous other "fan-boi aggro attendants".

 

I left it on since I'm not that FW dependent anyway.

 

Is A vs B allowed there?

Thanks.

 

Actually, it is.

I'm honestly still on the fence about this new V4, I've gotten mad and threatened to uninstall (I may yet do it), but I do honestly like the forum there and (most) of the people on it.

 

Please give me other free Seven x64 FW and HIPS fish in the ocean and I'll gladly try them.
I'm not a hardcore security paranoiac freak and I've tried to date PrivateFirewall, Webroot Firewall, PCTools Firewall, Rising Firewall, Seven native firewall (with and without Windows 7 Firewall Control), Outpost free and even Pro (I won a lifetime license from one of their contest), Zone Alarm and Threatfire. I really want to try Online Armor free but I have to wait a bit.
After a while I come back to Comodo. I dunno why but I feel very comfortable with it.
As a home user I use only CIS (FW and D+) and CTM (with regular snapshots). IMO overkilll combination but is trendy to have some overhelming security products at home.

 

A little test of Comodo:

I really am quite surprised on the AV detection. It's got a really nice decent detection rate at the moment.

As for the automatic sandbox, it works. There are still bugs to be fixed, but it still works for other malware tested. Honestly, until you test for your self, don't even complain on non-fact based info/mis leading stuff.

Tooby.
