Comodo CIS Bug fix policy

I have no problem paying for an actively developed application Windows firewall. I bought a license for Sphinx firewall some years ago, and I was very impressed with it, but they seem to have stopped development on it.

Sphinx is a one-person shop. The product only receives maintenance updates if there is a serious issue. Otherwise interest in it began to wane about the time Windows 8 was released. There is active, highly intermittent support on the product forum.

There is some relationship between Malwarebytes and WFC (& Binisoft), correct?

Malwarebytes purchased Windows Firewall Control from the BiniSoft developer years ago.

I have the impression that Malwarebytes is continuing the development of WFC.

Malwarebytes pays the BiniSoft developer to continue updates on the product, however it has been a large Commerical success.

Another Comodo issue...
Comodo CIS 2025 "trail period" has expired. It can not longer be used nor being (re)installed due to a revoked certificate.
Expected fix in CIS 2026. :rolleyes:

You need to download the Premium version. Direct Link: Comodo Premium Installer. Having said that, there's currently a expired certificate issue today that they're resolving.

Is it only CIS 2025 Pro from link on Comodo site being affected by the issue?

Link downloads premium installer which is the free version. The Pro was meant to give you the option to revert to the free version but it was hit and miss when you got the pop-up for that.

I referred to the CIS 2025 revoked certificate issue that is happening right now.
Does that apply to both Premium and Pro?

Hello, how do I solve this by asking to uninstall and install a new one that will be released?
For those who have several machines and clients with this software? Will I have to do it manually on each machine?
Will an update via database update be a solution or not?
 
Hello, I would like to know if this revoked certificate will cause problems for those who have already had CIS 2025 operating since its launch?
If there is a problem, what would it be?

ok thanks -- but unless my memory is failing, :giggle: WFC is free with occasional non-annoying "notices" re Malwarebytes, and IIRC WFC Binisoft before the acquisition by Mbam was also free download, so perhaps "failure" in number of users, but my sense is its users do like it. (fwiw) (& I could be wrong about cost comments). current version I have 6.11.0.0

It'll just be installer certificate issue but you can always check your installed certificates Check Certificates Windows if you open the certificate manager you can search for Comodo and it'll list them with the expiration dates in the results box.

FWIW, someone reported that it also affects already installed CIS 2025 popping up security error window at times.

The original BiniSoft Windows Firewall Control was $10 USD for a license that unlocked features. The free version had features disabled.

Malwarebytes purchased the BiniSoft product with the intent of incorporating it into its Malwarebytes products, but for whatever reasons that never happened. So now it just serves as a Malwarebytes adware application.

The product is not commercially viable. It has zero ($0) revenue and therefore its ongoing maintenance is being subsidized by Malwarebytes subscribers. Once Malwarebytes stops paying the BiniSoft developer he will likely stop maintaining it.

When Malwarebytes needs to make expense\cost cuts, Windows Firewall Control will be among the first items on the chopping block.

Some people say CIS 2025 stops working due to revoked certificate.
Other people say CIS 2025 doesn't recognize the files on the file list anymore due to same issue.
Despite all that Comodo says users are still protected.
Magic!

"Some people say, other people say..."

That sure sounds like unreliable infos.

Might be true. Might not be true. He said, she said is not evidences. Any reliable videos showing the problems? That prove there is a reduction in protection?

Where did Comodo officially state "Users are still protected even with this problem"?

Some low-level Comodo staffer saying something on the Comodo forum is not an official company statement. An official statement is made by a senior executive, usually through public relations or a public infos release usually made on a designated web page (similar to Microsoft's official statements on its web resources).

Only designated senior company personnel can make official statements. An employee of said company making some comment is never an official statement on behalf of the company. This is established by corporate law.

Melih trolling users that are upset about a product they do not pay for on social media is not an official Comodo statement.

Melih and ozer.metin did say so.
If they can be considered low-level staff?

Sure, there is no video evidence of the problem only a few reports till now from users with pictures attached which say enough I think.

All other AV receive "only a few reports" every single day. That means millions of users have problems with AV other than Comodo.

Software has bugs. It creates issues. It is no big deal. Melih's crew should be able to fix it. It is just an expired certificate problem. Easy fix.
