But there are numerous free AV's such as Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Avast etc that users may complain about certain aspects of them but I don't recall any of them ever being called "buggy" like Comodo is.
Then maybe they shouldn't have a free version. If other AV's use their free versions to entice customers to eventually buy a paid version then why does Comodo have a free version if its driving some customers away.The free versions of Kaspersky and Bitdefender are subsidized by the millions of paying customers.
With regard to Bitdefender it has always been derided as Bugdefender. The Bitdefender forum is always filled with bug reports. Some of that is unwarranted because Bitdefender, like other antivirus, does not publish expected behaviors. Lots of things about the freeware version that are considered buggy are not bugs, but instead expected behaviors.
Comodo has no paying customers to subsidize the free version. At least not for CIS and CFW. If one does pay for either, then they are not paying for the software but the support plan and a warranty.
It does not matter what kind of paid service you offer on top of a free product, it still makes it a freemium product.The whole point of Comodo from the beginning of the project was to offer a security suite for zero cost. Zero cost also means a user gets what they get. All free software is provided on a best effort "as is" basis.
There is no paid version of Comodo. When users pay, they are paying for technical support and a malware removal warranty.
Comodo companies have never attempted generating any revenue from CFW or CIS.
I couldn't find any mention of it.@roger_m Any news regarding the minimum supported Windows OS?
It is a beta, give them some time.Same old Comodo. Trash AV module while containment keeps everything safe.
Users reported network issues, so they released a new version. The download link for the new version is available in the first post on the forum.The internet connectivity issue can by instantly fixed by disabling the COMODO Internet Security Firewall Driver in the properties of your network adapter.
I couldn't find any mention of it.
Go to Settings > Advanced Protection > Miscellaneous and add the application to the "Don't detect shellcode injections" list.Cannot open Valorant, event after disabling all modules, may be incompatible with Riot Vanguard.
While Comodo Home products are primarily used by individuals at no cost, it is important to mention that Comodo also provides a paid Home version for $29.99 per year. Additionally, a considerable portion of Comodo's revenue comes from the corporate sector.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.
typical user, (assume knows nothing other than he) hears something about comodo, goes to their webpage and sees $29.99 / year... or $39.99 for 3, also a link for "full protection" Not obvious user can download a free product, imo.It is a free product. It is not a freemium product because there is no paid version.
I stand corrected it works when you repeat the same thing three times people believe youComodo does not need home users. It never has. CFW and CIS have always been charity products for those who cannot afford to pay for antivirus. That is THE reason that Melih created it.
