COMODO Internet Security 4.0.141842.828 Released

@ Ance It still has a large number of FPs although detection has improved of late.

@ Acuariano I don't use the AV personally but I believe it's supposed to be light.Never a good idea to run 2 AVs together in real-time,the exception would be to use Immunet which claims to co-exist happily with other AVs.I'd go with an on demand scanner such as Hitman Pro myself.

 

@Ance,

the FP if you submit them on the forum they are fixed within hours. very quick. they are really good about it.

better than other i know of .

 

Yeah FPs are the one demerit of comodo AV I know when I scanned my portable it flagged MD beta1 and beta 2 as Heur.Suspious but I submitted them and now no problems

 

Hi I cannot comment about the detection rate of the AV but anything which the AV misses will be caught by Defense+ and the Sandbox.

Concerning FP, you just need to submit them to Comodo and they will be fixed quickly.

Thanks

 

Thank you, I'll wait for the "final" version

 

What final version?

 

A version without all these FP

 

Actually comodo v4.X is the final version there are product updates every few weeks

 

True, but the sandbox is bugged, the only flaw

 

the sandbox works well now.

 

What bugs did you encountered?

 

By the way, can anyone try to repair their CIS and let me know whether it works properly.

I updated my CIS from 4.729 to 4.826. Everything is working fine except that the repair option in add/remove is grayed out. It says "Comodo Internet Security cannot be repaired."

I am now wondering whether my copy of CIS is corrupt.

Any advice on this.
Thanks

 

Was it working before it was updated?

 

I don't know as I did not try before, I think that I'll have to do a clean install to fix this problem.

 

Don't worry I have cross checked this with my comodo the repair options is greyed out

I tried to reinstall is again but it was still the same Might be a bug it will be fixed in the next product update

 

Oh, really?
Sorry for my error then, i though the sandbox was still bugged (I heard that they would bring a mayor bug fix in it on version 4.1 )
Sorry for mis-informing people

 

naw ur fine. it happens. yes version 4.1 will have a major change to the AV with better Cleaning and a BB.

 

Why in 4.0 fw Network Security Policy< global rules there is the rule " Allow IP any destination address...." ?? (I don't remember well the name, I came back to 3.14 for the moment ). Im' not sure it is a good idea.

 

This is Comodo!
I did post this on their forum, hope that they take it seriously.

Thanks for your help.

 

No problems here.

 

Oh boy

How I love those remarks like "anything the AV might miss will be caught by D+'" and "Send FP's to Comodo thet fix it quickly"

First I want to state that CTM + CFW (FW - D+ - Sandbox + Community feedback) are top notch freeware products, I would not hesitate advisiing those to any PC user who has mediocre safe hex habits/security understanding.

So that said: why do you want an AV beside a sandbox and a HIPS

1. Reduce the number of decisions I have to make myself (blacklist filter)

2. Do not increase the level of confusion (false positives)

Please get real: pop-ups are no guarantee for protection, they just give the user a second chance, less choices, less chances of user errors. That is why sandbox is such a good idea, automatically contain unsigned software from the real system, ideally a good AV has filtered out a lot of bad ones before you can click on the executable (at disk write, at scanned web traffic or mail received, etc)

 

Kees,
Easy, watch your blood pressure. I think that most people have been beaten into thinking that an AV is part of a good layered security. Most like people I understand that AV is not going to save me but I like it there....just in case. I really depends on how much security do you think is enough. It varies per person. I can't remember who it was but in one of the posts a few weeks ago, he had I think 10 security apps running. Then you have people that only use defensewall. I do understand your point and agree with it.

 

I will, no problem, just CFW and CTM are real good aps. Why go for CIS suite when you can blend a best of brands suite yourself with CTM + CFW + Avast or Avira or Panda (as freewares f.i.)

Cheers

 

Hi did you use the web installer or the normal installer?

 

I can only comment on why people use it and don't have any first hand knowledge. Maybe they want a seemless solution rather than bits and pieces. I wouldn't use comodo AV because I would rather use avira for its detection. Thats my personal oppinoin though. That and a dollar will get a coffee at mcdonalds.
