Advice Request CFW with this 'Partially Limited' bug with UAC ON ?

[floalma]

Hi,

I've read carefully a few posts about CFW with this 'Partially Limited' bug with UAC ON (under Win10) from :
Video - Comodo Firewall- Cruelsister Variation
Video - Comodo Firewall- Cruelsister Variation

About this issue, who knows if Comodo has fixed this issue ?

well you go with restricted or untrusted

I use CFW on a Win 10 64 bit computer. Never had a trouble. Even with UAC set at "Always Notify". But that's just from my experience. You may have had another experience compared to myself.

With UAC completely ON, Comodo runs everything as 'Partial Limited', even if you set up with Restricted.
Have you checked if this is still occurred ?

With UAC on and Containment Restricted everything runs as partial limited??

yes, it is (was?) one of the latest major bugs in Comodo on Win10...

I've just reported this bug to Comodo Staff by PM.

with UAC ON

CF at my settings will both meet and exceed anything that UAC will do for you. UAC can also be easily bypassed by the bulk of malware.

With UAC on?I mean bug solved?

 

[floalma]

Yes, but not fixed.

I'm under Win10 and UAC on is needed.
As you know, the bug is when Comodo runs everything as 'Partial Limited', even if you set up with 'Restricted'.

Comodo has so many bugs, new and old, that you can never really be sure it is doing what it is supposed to do. It makes me nervous. I don't feel comfortable relying on Comodo alone.

 

[cruelsister]

F- On Win10, even if you set UAC at Never Notify (you can set it at this- I do) you will get intrinsic protection of Windows System files. This is a wonderful thing and is a reaction to system wiping malware like that used to take down the C&C points in Ukraine.

Shmu- Odd that I never encountered one...

@cruelsister
Great! I will try it. 'Never notifiy' is like disabled UAC. Are you really sure it will protect windows system files with UAC never notify ?
What do you mean by 'used to take down the C&C points in Ukraine.' ?

Sis, if you never encountered a Comodo bug, then you are truly one in a million

According to Microsoft:
"The slider will never turn UAC completely off. If you set it to Never notify, it will:

• Keep the UAC service running.
• Cause all elevation request initiated by administrators to be auto-approved without showing a UAC prompt.
• Automatically deny all elevation requests for standard users."

How User Account Control works (Windows 10)

So, if I want to run an app under my Standard user account that needs Admin privileges, I won't be able to do it.

Are you really sure it will protect windows system files with UAC never notify ?

Absolutely. At one time I wrote such System wiping malware myself: Malware scan of cruelsister's rootkit magic.exe (Rootkit Magic) 50a0d052e9e042bac9c09a9ce8b279dd5b47ab82 - herdProtect

I can assure you that Win10 protects.

Almost forgot- CF will alert to a file trying to get Elevated privileges, so this duplicates the UAC prompt.
And about Ukraine- Russia sent out a simple (like mine) KillDisk to wipe out system files on the C&C systems.

 

[floalma]

You wrote a malware, genius !
Do you mean that despite the UAC off, I will be able to launch any software from my Standard account that require Admin privileges due to the CF alert ?

Sorry- Using CF in a Standard user account won't change anything in so far as account status is concerned. It is just that the UAC Elevation prompt is duplicated by CF.
