"..
We have just released COMODO Internet Security 4.0.141842.828. This is a maintenance release which addresses several previously reported bugs.

The main reason for this release is the demand from our users for a standalone executable installer for the individual products.


Whats new in 4.0.141842.828?

NEW! Standalone installers in addition to the web based installer
FIXED! ARP spoofing protection does not protect against certain attacks
FIXED! Automatically sandboxed applications can modify existing protected files under certain conditions
FIXED! Proxy authentication in updater settings does not work
.."

 

Did they fix the compatibility mode issue in 64 bit yet?

 

Which individual products can be installed?

 

is this now version now fully protected now? or still flaws?

 

Wow Three "now" in one sentence

 

Are you bored?

On topic, I wish I could get behind Comodo, but all I see is the same issues I've had for quite a few releases now. They're either overworked, sloppy, or just want to make as much as they can and don't really care how they do it. On a different test system, this "new" release is the same heap of trouble for me it was last release.

 

Houston - "We have a stalker"

 

What was your "heap of trouble"?

 

The thing I'm wondering is what those "certain conditions" are. What if this would pose a threat to the user's security?

 

I don't understand what you mean.

 

Then I'll try to explain, and hope that you were not joking.


"FIXED! Automatically sandboxed applications can modify existing protected files under certain conditions"



What are those certain conditions, and might that pose a security risk if it allows things to pass through that way?

 

Thanks, I was not joking, simply I didn't read the words " certain conditions " in the first post.

Anyway, I'm going to try for the first time CIS 4 now, but I'll disable the sandbox. Sorry, but I prefer to control by myself what CIS does; I keep my GesWall too.

 

Comodo not remembering answers even after being told to, knocking out Avast's ability to update (yes I made SURE Avast was allowed to do everything it needed in Comodo rules), pending files that would keep coming back after I went through them one by one, and incessant pop-ups (well, that basically boils down to Comodo not remembering answers). Unless something changed between this and the previous release, Comodo is not even as secure unless it is in its highest mode. And, with all those problems, I'm sure not going to run it in said mode.

My OPINION is that Comodo has just gotten sloppy, because the firewall and D+ didn't have these issues back in version 3. Resources were slightly higher in usage, but I would take higher resources over a steaming pile of dog crap that is Comodo these days. Yes, that's harsh, but as I said, it's my opinion.

 

Presumably it refers to the well-documented issues with certain rogues able to interract with the 'real' system.Mind you if,as stated this is now fixed it shouldn't be a problem anymore.

It does still have that global firewall rule to 'Allow All Outbound',easy enough to get rid of but still a bad idea IMO.

 

Yep, it's like the option for the sandbox to allow signed/trusted apps.

What makes me doubt it is that it indeed says so that it can, and not can NOT. That makes me believe it's more of a compatibility measure for actions that SUPPOSEDLY legit files will take.

 

Yes, of course you won't need the sandbox in that case.

 

I believe that it write " can " because it describes the previous bug that now is fixed. I see write so for the fixed bugs of other softwares.

 

Oh right - totally forgot the "FIXED" before the text.

 

The sandbox still has some way to go before I'd even contemplate removing Sandboxie that's for sure.However the devs do seem to be listening to the user base on this so hopefully it'll offer much more comprehensive isolation/usability as it matures.

 

As far as my own testing went, CIS stopped everything dead. Only thing that was semi problematic were rogue antiviruses/fake antiviruses, that got through in certain cases. I think they are addressing those with this update fix.

 

Def. sounds great to me.
