Thanks for sharing. It really is smaller, by 60mb on my system.

 

Thanks for the update

 

Nice update

 

Thanks!

 

SecureDNS install yes or no I m a home User

 

You dont need it, and if you don't what it is, less

You can find what it is, here: http://help.comodo.com/topic-72-1-155-1081-Appendix-1-Comodo-Secure-DNS-Service.html

 

Wow ! It took much longer than I'd thought but finally they added IPv6 support for good [Windows Vista /Windows 7].

Furthermore, disabling the Windows Firewall upon installing Comodo Firewall is a nice touch. WF was left enabled upon installing CF which created some conflicts by running two [2] firewalls at the same time.

I might give this firewall a go pretty soon.


Best regards,


Carlos

 

Nice! I can't wait till they start intergrating DACS with CIS. This will do till that happens. I like that they added the rootkit scanning and IPv6. I was just about to switch back to OA++ and sandboxie.

 

Thanks for the update.

 

Nice list of chances, good to see they finally support IPv6.

Does anyone has screenshots of the new skins? I am especially interest in the native Windows skin.

If you ask me, this is what CIS 5 should be when it was released.
Btw, Windows Native theme is imo by far the best looking.

 

thanks for the update

 

Thanks Mops21 for update I am updating my backup copy now.

 

Hello in this thread you can find some of the themes.

cfp.exe is seen as a Virus

Obviously a False Positive

Can we hope in a fix?

 

Surely you reported it to Eset and then you might get fix from Eset soon

 

What exactly does "support IPv6" mean?

 

I can't, guess I have to register. And no way I am going to do that.

 

These are the new skins, but I prefer the old ones

 

Thanks, I think the native Windows 7 Aero one will be the most attractive .

 

This is the native on win7 without AERO:
I have try all of them, I like the default skin, red and gray/black, some of them makes my eyes cry

 

Good, that is easily the best option available. Since Comodo aren't heroes in picking colour schemes, so didn't the people who created that blue one.
All companies should use more native Windows elements anyway. Panda (they absolutely create the most ugly interfaces, Panda Cloud makes me cry, although I do love simple interfaces) and avast! for example. You can see how bad the quality of the border and minimize/close buttons are. While the Windows natives are high quality. The same goes for the buttons, compare some to MSE or Hitman Pro, who just use natives. F-Secure is also great.

Oh, sorry for this post which ain't really on-topic anymore.

 

Thanks for the update. Kind of wish the updates were pushed at the same time to those of us with CIS already installed. I would rather not wait, but don't want to uninstall, reinstall and then reconfigure. Would be nice if you could just install the downloads you have listed and it would update what we have now and keep the settings.
