CIS V5 public beta

depends on how old the boy doing the fanning is.

 

guest, since you are on vacation could you do these tests ?

 

It seems upgrading to the latest beta did it for me, I am unable to test the second sample though until I can get my testing PC back to a fresh start.

First batch of themes for CIS5, they look great!!! I'm using the second one, blue.

 

Wow, imo all the colors looks NICE!

 

Indeed! I'm liking the light blue, like BitDefender's new UI, it isn't as extreme looking as most antivirus UI's can be.

 

How heavy is CIS on system resources? I am looking for something that is superlightweight...

 

Very light on my PC, almost no boot-time added, 6MB memory during idle, I would give you the CPU time and I/O reads but I have been scanning all day.

 

Very low on ram (5-20 meg), but heavy on CPU and disk io. I am working on finding a way to run it with less overhead.

 

GUI needs a little uplift IMO to be more professional looking, esp rthe icons and color schemes.

 

anyone else having trouble updating cis since yesterday? it kept failing on me half way through

 

I would still choose the default theme

@ tk55
No problems on my side

 

I think it is a bug in the RC. There are posts about it on the Comodo forums.

 

ok, except my notebook with version 4.1 is failing too. can you do a manual update now and see that it actually went all the way? thanks.

edit: the updater came up with error 0x80072ee7. i'll try google that and see what came up. back in a sec.

 

There is some advice here:

thanks clocks. will follow up at comodo forum.

 

Dam.
Is their a way to turn off the real time virus checker to reduce the disk io?

 

For me looks fine for system resources.

 

What tool is that burebista, for monitoring usage history?

 

All SS's are from Process Explorer.
Also you can use Process Hacker if you like it more.

 

@ Weartheborg

If you decide to choose Process Explorer,I suggest you download the complete Sysinternals Suite,enough toys in there to keep you amused for weeks.

Thanks for the tip!

Hmmm Process explorer or Process hacker??
So many choices, so little time

 

There is, and that helps, but D+ can be problematic (in that regard) also.

I use Process Explorer, and for me cmdagent.exe always has the second highest CPU time behind system idle process. When I use other AVs, there are always farther down the list.

Take a lot at the drop down list on this page as the various tests. They kind of show similar results to what I have experienced.

That is problematic...btw, what does that chart represent? Are the times for a single file? Time increased to transfer it from ~20s to 2000s+ with CIS?

Thats too much ....

 

Take from it what you will. In Maximum PCs tests CIS effected performance more than any of AVs they tested. CIS is a fantastic program, but I wouldn't call it light. (actually I take that back. Trend Micro had the lowest PCMark score by a sliver over CIS).
