--------------------

As some of you probably know, Windows 8 RTM has been released. This means people who have MSDN subscription or device manufacturers are already using Windows 8.

CIS/CAV/CFW 5.10 does not support windows 8.
CIS 6, which is scheduled to be released end of October, is going to be supporting Windows 8. However until that time, you may still need COMODO protection in your Windows 8 computers. So for those Windows 8 users, we created CIS 5.12 accessible from http://antivirus.comodo.com/windows-8/

CIS 5.12 fully supports windows 8.

Hi Guys,

I would like to announce the availibility of COMODO Internet Security 5.12.256249.2599.

We have also issued an update to all users who have previous versions installed.

What's New in this release?
IMPROVED! Windows 8 Support
FIXED! PPPoE protocol driver conflicts with firewall driver in Windows 8

As you already know, we already released 5.12 before but havent updated existing users so far. However in order to reduce the Windows 8 related support load, we decided to issue an upgrade to make all comodo users fully compatible with Windows 8.

This is not CIS 6 and you will still get CIS 6 once it is released.
