It killed my Wi-Fi. I can connect, but have no internet.

According to some feedbacks, it's still full of usability bugs. More like an alpha-stage product

Why act surprised. This trend has been on-going for well over a decade.

@roger_m Any news regarding the minimum supported Windows OS?

Except for a few things that I would like changed (noted on the Comodo Forum), for me the installation on Win11 22H2 (I did not install the on demand AV package, just the Firewall) went flawlessly and a post install (moderately intensive) malware test yielded no system changes.

Although I'm just a lonely girl living in a confusing universe, I felt that for an initial beta it exceeded expectations.

And is it as light as the previous version? Thanks! The gui looks clean

We need to keep it unbiased and real here. Just like every previous version it will take just a matter of days or weeks before the problems are exposed. Which is to be expected. It is a free product with development support at the discretion of the product owner. This is minimal and intermittent.

Avoiding bugs or other usability problems by not using the features of the product that expose those bugs or usability problems is not a solution. Unfotunately, even GUI bugs matter to users. In a lot of their uninformed minds if they see a GUI bug, then they ask themselves "What hidden bugs exist that compromise security?" It does not matter how many videos you create that show Comodo protecting a virtual machine. That seed of doubt is in their minds and it is not going to leave.

The criticisms of Comodo, while technically correct, disregard the fact that the product is an unpaid, free product. What is really weird is that people on forums like this just refuse to accept that the issues with Comodo are consistent with it being a free product. It is almost as if they want Comodo to pull it from the market unless it is willing to commit the expensive resources to make it a highly polished product. They want perfection without ever having to pay for it. They want Comodo to provide this stuff for free. This is where users are completely wrong.

The support of Comodo as protection is correct and justified. It does protect the system despite all of the flaws of the project and product. However, pesky uniformed or deliberately stubborn users just cannot get past those GUI, unfixed bugs and disappearing rules bugs.

Those people criticizing, by and large, don't like Comodo. Because they don't like Comodo nobody should like Comodo.

I had an excellent experience with the Beta version! I installed CFW on my production system (Windows 11 22H2) with no issues. However, the program didn’t run automatically after installation, so I started it manually to change settings. It successfully completed the Rating Scan. KillSwitch couldn’t download the package. Diagnostics found errors but couldn’t fix them automatically. After restarting the system, there were no issues except for the aforementioned ones. I don’t like the new GUI, as it’s horrible. I’m currently using the Lycia Theme.

Certainly some of that happens from particular parties. More curious are those who bemoan Comodo as buggy, infrequently updated while at the same time disregard that it is a free, unpaid product.

I have to agree that there is no free lunch, if it was paid I believe it could have a greater charge from users.

Certainly some of that happens from particular parties. More curious are those who bemoan Comodo as buggy, infrequently updated while at the same time disregard that it is a free, unpaid product.

If they want refinement with regular bug fixes and updates, then why don't they donate to the Comodo project? Does Comodo owe anybody in userland a thing? I do not know of a single freeware that is not offered "as is" and is based upon the publisher's willingness to work on the product.

A better Comodo would require a whole lot of money. Obviously Comodo has only ever been willing to spend a limited amount, which makes sense, going back to the fact that it is a freeware.

Precisely. For the average user, one who just installs the firewall and perhaps makes a couple of adjustments, Comodo just works. I never experienced a bug in long years of use. I only use containment, with Cruelsister's settings for the past few years. Prior to discovering her, it was proactive setting, with HIPS off.

Install Comodo firewall, set it like CS recommends, and leave it alone. It works.
