Discussion Thread Comodo Internet Security 2024 Beta is now available

When there was no containment, the default restriction level was Partial Limited. This level provided a good balance between security and usability, making it suitable for real-world scenarios. I am planning to ask @Shadowra to test it out.

After I uninstalled Comodo with Uninstalr, I can't seem to get it to install again.

You've just learned a lesson, never rely on third / second party uninstallers. By no means do they know what can be safely deleted from your system and what not. Only an installed app itself knows how to correctly uninstall itself without damaging your system.

I’m requesting @Shadowra to test Comodo with default restricted, Partially Limited. The setup doesn’t have containment. Comodo will only restrict unrecognized apps on the actual system. I’m also testing usability on my production system with the same setup, and it’s working great.
Make your video test requests!

I expect the scanners will detect leftover files during the test. Because the setup restricts (no containment) unrecognized app installations on the actual system. I want to evaluate the overall performance of the setup against modern malware. This includes any active malware, malware after a system reboot, and data encryption.

The setup could offer excellent protection and usability in real-world scenarios. Let’s see how it performs in the test. Depending on the outcome, I might test the "Limited" restriction level’s usability and request @Shadowra for a malware test.

I received the update for the new beta version 12.3.1.8104. The update went smoothly, and all the changed settings remained intact. I didn't encounter any issues.

It seems like there is a bug where the "check for updates" feature keeps finding an available update again.

 

[ForgottenSeer 97327]

Whose going to try out the AV to see what it borks? I nominate Simmer is one of his VM's.

I am when it will be availble on Linux. The whitelisting module already works on linux, sadly not for ubuntu default package (program) manager. In linux the only other free AV option is ClamAV (Comodo should do better).

It was a small update for some improvements, not a bug.

CAVL has been tried and buggy back then in Linux. One has to know Linux though, not just to be able install a prefabbed version of, or be able to use package managers. As mentioned above it's been known to bork things and compatibility with certain distros is a nope, better know what you are doing.

The Comodo forum states that the third beta will be out in December and likely the final version in February. Beta 2 is functioning smoothly, but I'm contemplating experimenting with another software.

Saw that the other week A least there's some progress and it'll be interesting to see what bugs are fixed though I've never really suffered with any. Just glad to see some progress. Only testing CF at the moment, hips disabled as that got to be a hassle for whitelisting every time my OEM software did an update but runs smooth.

Malwarebytes WFC is good though a little bit of a learning curve. Some AVs work with Microsoft Defender Firewall like Emsisoft or you can use @Andy Ful 's Windows Firewall Hardening to create Microsoft Defender Firewall Rules to block LOLBins etc.

Look forward to next beta.

@ErzCrz, My preferred security is Comodo Firewall. I don't need another, but I'm considering experimenting with a different security software on the test system. I tested and had a great experience with CyberLock and ConfigureDefender. System hardening doesn't interest me because of its inconvenience. I might give ESET a try with custom settings.

Ah I see. CD makes sense for using MD but Cyberlock not needed with CFW containment enabled. I've used Hard_Configurator and SWH but not paired with CF but really with CF features enabled, there's not much need for a AV other than built-in unless your after lower resource usage.

I don't use any AV, including Defender, on my system. Comodo Firewall is my preference, although I enjoyed using CyberLock for a while. If CF wasn't an option, I'd definitely go with CL.
