HIPS won't help you in these cases. Almost all of the Comodo "bypasses" turn out to be the result of mistaken whitelisting by the cloud lookup, and that will cause HIPS to sleep like a baby, just like autosandbox does.

I meant HIPS set to Paranoid. I added CLT.exe to the trusted list and also in the allowed "Containment" rules and the HIPS still works when HIPS set to paranoid mode.

Correct. If you are in paranoid mode -- and it did not drive you insane yet -- then you are protected.

I did a fresh Windows install. Ran it on training mode a few days and ran every app I had installed twice. And I don't install stuff often, once I have all my stuff installed my system is quiet, haven't had any troubles so far.

Sounds great to me.
It would be a good idea to export your comodo settings, and save them, just in case the forgetting rules bug strikes you.
This bugs likes to strike people like you, who have lots of rules.

I wonder how many malware files are mistakenly "trusted", and we don't know about it...

That is why I test CF@CS settings in Malware Hub.
I also have that on my main PC so I want to know (only on my PC i have set Firewall settings to Custom Mode).
unless we disable the cloud lookup, we need an AV to supplement CF

Best comodo config for security without too much hassle : Umbra-style (aka using all features at their best level and prioritizing a tailored paranoid HIPS )
Best comodo config for usability/protection: CS style (aka prioritizing the sandbox)
Worst comodo setting: default one.

Guys! I can't leave you for a minute, can I?
I just tried this specific malware-dcd0e73b264427269c262d6dc070570ce76c56faaf5ccfcebc0ae79b4e32130d (if you can really call it malware, as it seems this is just a test of a component of an info-stealer of some type), and at my settings it was totally contained. No startups, no real system changes, and certainly no registry changes.
AVG- did you do a scan of your system prior to running the malware? And also, as this particular file, as a component, does not have the ability to make changes as shown in your screenshots, I'm really curious as to how this could have happened anyway.
ps- the only file that would have been contained was the original malware as nothing further was dropped. And being unsigned it certainly wasn't trusted on my system!

Maybe the cloud lookup corrected the error relatively quickly, this time.

Advanced users could do that, but you gradually get more and more unrecognized files, and have to make more and more decisions. It is no longer an effortless experience to turn on your computer.Why you just dont disable the cloud loukup and the story ends here???

I disagree. I have it disabled for over a month with HIPS safe mode. It works like a charm. No crazy pop up

I see you are using Windows 8, whereas I am on Windows 10 w/updates. Maybe that is the difference? Just guessing.I disagree. I have it disabled for over a month with HIPS safe mode. It works like a charm. No crazy pop up

Im not going to upgrade to W10 anytime soon due to incompabilities with lots of games. Im installing updates too. Anything you wanna say to me say it straight.
