App Review Comodo Firewall against Ransomware

[cruelsister]

I frequently read that Comodo is complicated and is something for advanced users. Although it is true that with the dozens of settings available one could indeed make things complicated I personally never saw the point of doing this.

This video (I hope) will show that at its most basic and least complicated settings Comodo Firewall performs at a level that i find totally acceptable.

Awesome video (like always)! I'm considering putting Comodo Firewall on my system again now.

Hi Cruelsister - so if one were to set the sandbox at the untrusted level (as you have stated before, I noted this setting was restricted) would the malware run at all?

Hey, nice test i use comodo firewall about 3 - 4 years with Avast Free AV they doing a nice job both.... well what about XVirus Firewall any tests?

So good to see such a review...thanks a lot for that. I have been a comodo user ( not a fan boy though) from their very beginning. I still remember their "boclean" software i used ages ago. I am not saying that all of their products are/were super-good, but they have some real gems in their hand which IMHO is underrated and underachieved (this is a fact their hardcore critics won't even think of worth disproving). They really need to focus on their strength instead of reinventing the wheel again.

CS,

I can only download 360p with IDM. For other resolutions 480p, 720p, etc... I get 781 bytes with IDM? Same for your previous videos.

UPDATE - Tried again now And all fine. Dont know what happened previously?

Can you please test CCAV with the same samples?

 

[Rodney74]

Dear C.S

1). Can a person just install it and not change any settings and get the protection that you show in the video.

2). And then install a good AV (do you recommend one) Or Since, as you have shown the sandbox is doing all the protecting,

3). How about Comodo Internet Security, it's everything in one package.

 

[Rodney74]

After CS did this video, I'm thinking it looks like all we need is Comodo FW for the Sandbox...I mean why bother with anything else, since the baddest guy on the block is Ransom ware, and CFW sandbox stops it dead, what else do you need.

Nice video. Thanks

Thank you for another very nice vid @cruelsister ! The last part of the vid exactly reflects what I've seen from CIS, minor difference that my wallpaper didn't have any colour but black after the ransomware attack (I cannot reboot with ShadowDefender being active however, at least not without commiting any changes - what I won't do after a malware test ).
It's great to see that CF / CIS already shines on stock settings

I have Comodo Firewall with this settings and Qihoo 360 on my laptop and other two friend's laptop and I've never seen a virus in 1 year (and I'm not a safe surfer for sure)

The biggest weakness is in its swollen Comodo White List. Sometimes you can get here and dubious corporations. Good video as always .-)

 

[done]

Thank you for another great video @cruelsister

 

[Tony Cole]

When I used Comodo I deleted their entire white list and built my own, software I knew was safe, the rest gone!

 

[Overlord]

Thank you for another nice video.

When I used Comodo I deleted their entire white list and built my own, software I knew was safe, the rest gone!

Doesn't Comodo rebuild the list after every update?
