App Review Comodo Firewall vs A CryptoCurrency Miner Part 2

[cruelsister]

At 1:53 of the video I opened the Network Intrusions section of Comodo by accident (the Firewall was Disabled, nothing would show up here) instead of the OutBound Connection section (which would show the malware was not connecting out).

But no matter, as is explained in the text box that followed (Point 3) the malware could not get out due to a specific HIPS block.

Thank you for the video, a very nice review of Comodo HIPS.
When i had CFW installed at some point i disabled the sandbox and i had HIPS enabled.
As a novice user i learned some things about what processes are trying to do, a great lesson in my opinion.
I might install it again since CFW was stable in my system.
Of course when i had sandbox disabled and i was testing stuff i had Shadow Defender enabled just to be safe

yes, extremely useful video for all I think.

What fascinates me about CFW 10 is this.

You have a somewhat modularized suite of sorts where nearly if not all components relay their respective user (or machine) selected rules (based on various responses) to the FILE LIST and even that can be broken down into it's various levels etc. Beautiful!!

I think I got that right, CS is obviously way more detailed (even in brief!) and already well seasoned as well as generous in taking the extra effort to help everyone go the next (and/or) extra steps offered in this program.

One question escapes me though. is there a way to also clear the BLOCKED list? or is that by design.

the malware could not get out due to a specific HIPS block.

I actually noticed today, as I was fuddling around, that HIPS in proactive mode produces some interesting network blocks, and it does not produce the same blocks in firewall mode.

On my system, there was a network block for svchost and dasHost, both trusted Windows processes. (I was not testing malware samples, just regular PC use.)
Don't know why it did that, but it is showing its alertness...

It's also shared by Comodo on their FB page

This morning an ads of CF show me a youtube video...of Cruelsister!

This is the video:

Nice! I always thought she should consult for them.

Dear God, did they do this again? I have the Comodo info popups disabled by default so I had no clue. If this keeps up I suppose I should have some sort of snazzy video introduction with Graphics and Swelling, Ominous Music:

THE GODESS OF GLOOM
THE PRINCESS OF DARKNESS
THE COLD HEARTED SLAYER OF MALWARE

On second thought I'll pass and continue to do low quality half-assed stuff.

Fortunately I'll be out on the Hamptons for two weeks (have to love working for an investment Bank with beach front properties), and when I come back I hope I'll be back down to my usual 200 viewers!
