Inspired to try Comodo Internet Security

After seeing @cruelsister 's post in the SpyShelter thread, I have installed CIS beta v12.3.2.8124.

It will be the first time running Comodo since my XP days, i.e. more than a decade ago.






It will be interesting to see how it goes on my system.

 

My first scan was interesting, as it referred to SpyShelter.

 

Update checker...

 

Tarnak, which Windows version are you using ?

Windows 10 Home, but I am posting this comment from my Windows 10 Pro laptop, as I am having problems with my Windows 10 Home laptop, after upgrading to the new SpyShelter 15 general release, yesterday.

 

Earlier, this morning when running, I noticed this with System Informer:

Code:

[0] C:\Windows\System32\msinfo32.exe

[1] /nfo

[2] C:\ProgramData\Comodo\Cis\telemetry\msinfo32\msinfo_8383D0314E7A6C241DF2A9EDCFE2001E25705D00.nfo

[FULL] "C:\Windows\System32\msinfo32.exe" /nfo C:\ProgramData\Comodo\Cis\telemetry\msinfo32\msinfo_8383D0314E7A6C241DF2A9EDCFE2001E25705D00.nfo

But, the laptop was very sluggish, and I couldn't post this until now. So, I shutdown the laptop.

Then a short time ago, after starting up my laptop, again, this morning, I noticed Comodo doing it again, with System Informer, but I managed to get this screenshot:

 

Disabled it via Task Scheduler, just now:

 

Disabling tasks is not enough, disabled or deleted tasks will be restored when the computer is restarted. To prevent this from happening, you need to deny all users access to the folder with these tasks in the Properties of the folder.

 

I am the only user of my two laptops, i.e. Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro. I will need to look into this further. I have had trouble in the past with 'Security Tab' of folder properties, and advanced permissions access.

So, I have to proceed with any change in the properties folder, very carefully.

 

Create an incremental image of the system before making changes. Also, if you use NTFS Permissions Tools 1.3.0 (NPT), you can back up permissions to restore, then change the permissions. To understand the principle of operation, it is better to create a folder with files and practice on it.

 

comodo is still very intrusive.
