Comodo CIS Bug fix policy

Obviously it works. Windows XP works too and if I install Norton 2009 on it, that will work too.

But ask yourself, what value does this product really bring? For example, Avast can terminate malicious connections, pre-infection and post-infection. Including connections to machine generated domains. It offers you high quality AV that you can put in default-deny mode and behavioural blocker that managed to blocked the Petya ransomware with no updates back in the days.
It also blocks phishing and scam pages, more recently scam shops too.
It has a quality firewall, optionally, you can configure it to issue prompts.

Paid versions can protect your browser passwords and cookies to an extent, by issuing warnings when something tries to access them, or blocking automatically.

It gets updates on monthly basis and is also free (or very cheap). I really don’t see the value of Comodo over it.
Why would anyone install Norton on an XP machine when Comodo Firewall would a better job without any need for updates et al ?

Anyway CFW can be used as part of a layered defence strategy turning any free AV into a more complete solution. It`s also incredibly light.

When test labs such as AVLab.pl test it in specialized use-case scenarios
According to these labs everyone performed well, but solutions were called “oblivious to malware” by experts here. So who do we trust, the lab that specialises in use-case scenarios or the experts?

Whenever it’s convenient for you, you bring the expert videos as evidence and you deny tests and reviews being credible. Then whenever these tests and reviews are convenient evidence, you change your mind and start bringing them up.

and state all manner of incorrect things
Not sure what the incorrect things are.
1. Is it a fact that everyone, apart from Eset had perfect 100% score on the latest test, including Webroot and QuickHeal?
Subquestion: How is Comodo, according to your words from another thread, “consistently demonstrated to be performing better”, when third-tier and unpopular solutions like QuickHeal are getting the same results as Comodo.

2. Is it a fact that leaders like Bitdefender, Kaspersky and McAfee, according to the lab result, achieved everything that Comodo did, but did it 60x quicker, minus all the bugs, being up-to-date and in the McAfee case, with 0 setup and poking around?
Bitdefender didn’t allow more than 2-3 threats to execute and upon execution, remediated them in <2 seconds. Comodo and Xcitium allowed plethora of malware to be executed and then dwelled roughly a minute on every sample. Malware was working on the OS for a minute, before Comodo takes action.

3. Is it a fact that all of the aforementioned leaders do a lot more than Comodo, without entering in unnecessary details?

"Constantly adding bells and whistles." What bells and whistles?

By your own statements, Comodo Firewall hasn't changed in years. It's abandonware.
Abandonware? You must have been living under a rock for years.
Comodo CIS latest proud Bells And Whistles is that Intel protection stuff only supported on a handful processor types which nobody wants or is waiting for.
 
It is software. Crap happens.
That's the Comodo style.

Comodo will never deliver what you want. So you are better served by never using it again. Ever. Never. Never Ever. When the next version is released if you try it because you think it will be better then your thinking and behavior is a prime example of the definition of insanity - doing something over again and expecting a different result.
You hereby agree that staff on Comodo forum is fooling people on the their forum with promises to improve CIS by resolving more that one or two bugs out of 500 or so?

That's a typical social media move to "re-smith" my words to say something that I did not say. Nice try, but it's not going to work.

No. I do not agree with the characterization that Comodo staff are deliberately misleading anyone. The statement "We will fix the bugs" does not mean "We will fix all the bugs." In fact, it does not mean they will fix any amount of bugs. How people interpret the statement "We will fix the bugs" is what causes them to be disappointed.

What I do know is this, and it very, very easy to understand - Comodo's revenue is $0 and the product owner is not going to spend money on it to fix 500 bugs. He might fix 5, which is appropriate for a completely free product that is not subsidized by paying subscribers.

Melih has zero incentive to put any more resources into Comodo than he already does. You either take Comodo as it is or you move on.

The "reviews" that I have seen Decopi post have been nothing more than personal opinion posts on websites that provide good reviews only by software publishers that pay.

So who do we trust, the lab that specialises in use-case scenarios or the experts?
@Adrian Ścibor at AVLab.pl is a leading industry expert, and a very well respected one on that. His advanced tests are the only ones of their kind in the industry. He does not do them very often because he does not charge the software publisher for the testing. He only charges them if they want the test detail reports.

The attacks on @cruelsister 's video demonstrations are more about attacking her and what she does than they are about what is shown in the video. Launching malware from the desktop is an entirely valid test method. Anyone that says otherwise either does not understand malware testing and\or is just being argument for the sake of being argumentative.

How is Comodo, according to your words from another thread, “consistently demonstrated to be performing better”, when third-tier and unpopular solutions like QuickHeal are getting the same results as Comodo.
Nobody has ever supplied an in-the-wild malware that bypasses Comodo's containment whereas thousands of malware have bypassed Avast, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Norton, etc.

Relative to built-in Microsoft Defender, people could do a lot worse than choose to use Comodo.




There's more but I'm sure it is pointless as you will only counter-argue that these and a whole bunch of other independent test results are somehow flawed and misleading to the general public.

Bitdefender didn’t allow more than 2-3 threats to execute and upon execution, remediated them in <2 seconds. Comodo and Xcitium allowed plethora of malware to be executed and then dwelled roughly a minute on every sample. Malware was working on the OS for a minute, before Comodo takes action.
@Adrian Ścibor configures the test systems with various tools to monitor for any changes on the OS. So if during the "dwell time" the malware was making serious malicious changes to the OS outside of Comodo's containment then he would have reported it.

minus all the bugs, being up-to-date and in the McAfee case, with 0 setup and poking around?
Everybody knows Comodo has bugs. That does not mean it is a terrible software. Software intrinsically has bugs. So the complaints about Comodo's bugs are vastly overstated.

Have you been to a Bitdefender discussion? The first thing that happens are people complaining about Bitdefender's bugs. "Bugdefender."

CS settings take about 2 minutes, if that.

Essentially, CS configuration is the equivalent of a heavily tweaked and hardened Sandboxie in about 5 steps, whereas customizing Sandboxie takes about 30 minutes and requires the knowledge to do it. An idiot can follow the CS configuration video and succeed.

Are there "better" - as in "install it and forget about it" - software? Of course. Nobody here ever denied it.

That's what happens when Comodo believers with all their strength defend their ill product promoting it till death us do part.
Nobody here is promoting nor defending Comodo "til death do they part."

The only thing some Comodo users are saying here is one very simple thing, that even a 5 year old can understand: "Comodo works for me ergo I use it. I trust it. It causes me no problems. I use a simple configuration that avoids all the bugs."

Dedicated Comodo users here are not idiots. They have said "I will continue to use it until it no longer protects or it causes me serious problems."

That is not fanaticism. It is common sense.
 
5 year old can understand: "Comodo works for me ergo I use it. I trust it. It causes me no problems. I use a simple configuration that avoids all the bugs."
You are a clown start working in a circus. :ROFLMAO:
Even simple configuration causes bugs which can harm your online privacy.
You are unaware of the bugs.

The attacks on her are more about jealousy. She has followers.. That position may be sprinkled with a little sexism. A woman dares challenge we self proclaimed experts? How dare she!!

Really? Harm a person's online privacy whenever everybody knows there is no such thing as online privacy, even when using a VPN, Proxy, or IP Revolver.

Comodo is not harming anyone.

If it has all these bugs that make it harmful and terrible security software, then why do you keep trying to use it?

Why does it matter to you so much that a some people make Comodo work for them and they have no troubles with it?

You are unaware of the bugs.
I saw the list of reported bugs. All software has bugs. So what? There is a long history of capable users here at MT finding workarounds to the Comodo bugs.

Again, what some MT members are saying is this:

1725208122221.png

I suppose you miss the main point - which is that those users ignore the reported bugs. More than a few reported bugs are merely proof-of-concept (POCs), that debatably, present a real problem. Other reported bugs affect usability and can be completely avoided by using CS configuration.

The whole user mentality that "If it is reported, then it must be fixed yesterday otherwise it is insecure. Anybody that uses it is being harmed." is nonsense.

Good questions. I think I have one answer. They know best, and we should be obedient and do as they say. That's the impression I get, anyway.

Nobody calls them “misleading to piblic”. But there is a slight conflict between

And the lab test result, isn’t there?

So again, who do we trust, you didn’t answer. You and people who claim AVs are oblivious or

You just love dancing around questions with long, unrelated posts.

Again, who do we trust? Lab expert or you and Cruelsister? You must choose one.

Decopi and Pico are both on public record here at MT stating that Comodo, and in the case of Decopi, that @cruelsister and the "Comodo fanatics irresponsibly and immorally mislead the public."
you and people who claim AVs are oblivious or
I never said that Comodo, or any AV for that matter is "oblivious" to malware.

What I said specifically is that nobody has ever supplied an in-the-wild malware - a real malware, one that does real harm to the system and not some digitally signed PUP that, when executed, does nothing - that bypassed Comodo containment.

Again, who do we trust? Lab expert or you and Cruelsister? You must choose one.
No. Nobody needs to choose. @cruelsister 's videos are valid. So are Leo's PC Security Channel assessments and reviews. Next there are many tests of Comodo going back all the way to the 2010 era that were credible, performed meticulously by industry experts, and they showed that Comodo achieved the stated primary goal of any antivirus - to keep the system clean and protect the integrity of the data on the system.

@cruelsister is trustworthy. Leo from PC Security Channel is trustworthy. @Adrian Ścibor is trustworthy. AV Comparatives is trustworthy. AV Test is trustworthy.

All the bugs in the world do not matter if a security software achieves its stated purpose which is to protect the system and the data on it. It does not matter if the technology is the equivalent of Stoneage era flint stones. Microsoft still supports and deploys ancient technology such as software restriction policy. Why? Because it just works despite the list of bugs and issues.
 
This is a similar situation. "Experts" have said Jeeps today are riddled with various problems and Jeeps rate very low on the reliability scale. Those reports and findings worry a lot of people who go far off paved roads into really rough country. As a result, sales are down.

However, there are people who ignore the reports. They have Jeeps and take them into very rough country, and have no problems of any kind. I will believe those using the Jeeps over what Consumer Reports says. Those owners use the Jeep, beat it up, and they find that mechanically their Jeeps work fine and the issues are minor or nonexistent.

So, I'll trust Cruelsister, who has used, tested, and hammered Comodo Firewall with every malware she can find through the years, over someone who is less familiar with it.
