Hi All,
Please check out following beta setup:

Setup URL: http://download.comodo.com/ccav/installers/ccav_installer_beta.exe
SHA-1: f66b631463404ac9ca41f362ddd009ee59db7c06

where following are changes:

Improved:
- Now there is a sea difference in scanning speed. You should be able to complete scan within reasonable time. We have made changes in protocol used by client and there are server side enhancements as well. We are still upgrading server but you can experience much much better performance now.

New:
- There is new GUI with two additional themes as decided via poll earlier: Final Round: Let s vote CCAV 2017 User Interface Desing Options - News / Announcements / Feedback - CCAV

- After installation upon completion of Quick scan, you will be prompted to re-start system with option to postpone re-start for certain hours. Re-start of system ensures that CCAV also protects against unknown scripts, which otherwise won't be sandboxed.


Fixes:
- Files with install/setup keyword in path could be uploaded to Comodo even though they were safe.

- Some of temporary files were left out during installation under "Roaming" folder won't be are any longer.

Other changes:
- Quick scan is now default scan after immediate installation. Quick scan scans all files that could be launched on system startup and thus helps detect any active malware and at the same time helps build the cache, so next time when applications are started, results are in cache.

- When CCAV is updated, scan won't auto start upon update like has been the case. We already have 30 day scheduled scan and auto scan upon update has been unnecessary.

- "Sandbox" logs label is changed to "Executed Applications": When you access logs via "View Logs" section, earlier we had Sandbox section but within that we also had trusted installer entries differentiated by Type column, this was misleading as there were safe application entries as trusted installer mis intepreted if they ran in Sandbox.

This is what we are looking forward from you:
- Please share your experience with scanning speed.

- Please also share if it has positive impact on PC performance as cloud lookup for executed applications are expected to be faster than before. Although we are still working on ways to improve speed further.

- Play with new GUI and lets us know if any changes needed

We expect to make grand release by 23rd Feb,2017 and any feedback in the meantime is highly appreciated.

Again, we want to provide very positive experience of CCAV, which we think is future of client side security as a light weight, direct Valkyrie integration and default deny architecture.


Thank you very much

Yeah, but does it even work? The fact Valkyrie was dud the entire time and with them endlessly promising improvement of it, it remained useless for as long as I can remember, defeating the purpose of so called "Containment" if the end user is forced to make all the decisions. The Comodo's eternal cancer...

No one cares if they use new fancy interface if the core functionality is perpetually broken...

Agreed. I tested it out for a while last year and it took over a week to complete a rating scan that would allow Valkyrie to actually analyse the unknown files it found. I eventually gave up on it being of any use and went back to Comodo Firewall.(For clarification: I launched a new rating scan every morning and left my PC on and the scan running in the background for upwards of 16 hours a day. It didn't move from 3% for 5 days and just said it couldn't connect to the cloud server.)

And even when it gathers all the unknown files it literally take FOREVER to process them. And out of that, it always detected bunch of things as malware even though they weren't at all. Reported it and it never got fixed. Yawn.
