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...
 
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.

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.
