Serious Discussion Comodo Internet Security 2024 announced

[Pico]

Melih did answer differently.
Who's right?

 

[cruelsister]

i am hoping i dont need to reinstall

When an entirely new build comes out it is Best Practice to totally uninstall the prior version (especially if that was used for an extended period) and start fresh. Although this is an initial pain, it will save you from any future grief.

 

[Trident]

We’ll see who’s right. 21st of June is tomorrow. We’ll discuss again

 

[Xciting]

i mean, thats what melih said

 

[Xciting]

meilh said before summer and there might be beta testing first

 

[Pico]

We'll see when it comes out.

I think I'm gonna stay awake tonight to be the first to download it...

 

[partha_roy]

security or usability aspect?

Security wise

But that’s the conclusion now we all came to — Comodo doesn’t consider fixing these bugs a necessity. So it’s up to you whether you wish to use a product like this. When at least 10-15 other, major AVs exist and more than 5 are offered for free.

Most software is essentially abandonware. It costs a lot of time, money and hard work to develop it and the return in making major upgrades to it and fixing bugs isn't there. Use it and accept the limitations or move on. Rarely are new features or improvements offered. This is an industry practice and Comodo isn't the only one guilty of it.

Most software is not abandonware, even if new features are not always implemented -- these require time to research, check patents, develop and test. But most vendors fix bugs and offer small updates. The same can't be said about Comodo. I don't see any valid reason why someone should use software like this.

I would agree there is a return with paid products. Freeware is going to have a certain set of features and is often accompanied by a nag screen offering an upsell to a higher tier, paid version. The former is a loss leader to get people to buy a company's products. In the old days, people used to buy a new boxed version when one came out every couple of years and now its software as a service.

End of the day you need to decide what you want in life. Do you want something actively maintained (we've seen Avast and BD changelogs) with nag screens or do you want something without nag screens that's jam packed with bugs, security holes, incompatibilities (in other words just a disaster waiting to happen). Or maybe spring up some cash you'd spend on a Mai Tai and tobacco one night out for protection? If you have £500-£2000/3000 for a device certainly you will have £20 for security.

Not in Comodo''s CIS for consumers case. The paid consumer CIS product is functional equal to the free CIS product having the same features and bugs. The only thing you get extra with the paid version is technical support.

This argument was ran before with a user named Oerlink who unfortunately was banned (probably still overseeing some discussions). In the argument @Max90 asked a very spicy question that remained unanswered. What will this paid technical support reply when users contact them about software bugs?

I didn't visit this forum for quite some time and when I returned I noticed that user's name was renamed, I don't know for what reason or what has happened.
I never asked Technical Support about any bugs or problems because I think that doesn't solve anything...

Still no news. What we have is Xcitium ignoring the fact that they are allowing malicious samples. It would be wise for the company itself to chime in here.

 

[ForgottenSeer 97327]

Yeah, we have to be kind to Comodo users, they have been disappointed by his Melihness so often. This time the CTO of Xcited announced the new (=updated) and enhanced (=bugs fixed) CIS version, so even I,a Comodo non-believer, thought that I had to swallow my critique and this time it might actually really happen.

I am looking to download this Comodo 2024. Can somebody please share a link so I can install it today?

Each time I watch this part of the movie "Iron Sky", I visualize in my mind his Melihness and the holy congregation of Comodo' believers:



Are we in a closed system or an open system?
It is a closed system.
And it is only in a closed system
where we control all the inputs
so the outputs will be in harmony.
It is a perfect mechanism.
Now let us pray for our holy father, Steve,
to shed light on us.
Look at your ePrayer apps.

[Crowd] Holy Steve, who art in the cloud,
hallowed be thy designs.
Thy will return as the CEO when others have failed us.
Give us our inflated devices prices...

There's somebody here who does not
appreciate flawless design.
Someone who considers themself power user.
You.
Let me see your phone.

Jail-broken.

Why don't you want to be like everyone else?
Is our selection of default wallpapers not sufficient?
Do we not provide you with an adequate choice in ringtones?
You know what happens when unauthorized changes are made.

You get bricky bricked.

No, no.
No, no, no!
I believe in Steve, I believe in Steve!
I believe Steve, I believe in Steve!

[Female] I believe in...

[phone exploding] Have a nice afterlife.

Melih's announcement of 4-5 weeks or more was only 3 weeks ago...
