Comodo Internet Security 2025 does not contain RANSOMWARE (bypass, infection and lost of files)

[rashmi]

well, is this a good or a bad thing? sorry. language barrier here

You yourself have repeatedly pointed out; it's a waste of time.

ah. i see.

well, i agree, but i will continue... not with the same frequency for sure...

I think you are OK. When I said "game playing on both sides", I am talking about the most devout and devoted fanbois and fangirlz, Melih and his crew versus the unhinged detractors like Decopi.

Comodo was built on an ideology - that it is different than the antivirus industry status quote. It is given away freely. You would think that Comodo/Melih would be grateful for any free testing, bug reports, pentest reports, and demonstrated bypasses.

More or less you will have much greater success reporting serious issues - security problems - via Comodo support. Keeping it off the Comodo forum or online saves Melih any hits to his ego and pride. Afterall, he is Turkish and saving face is a HUGE thing in Turkish culture. I should know. I rotate living there and have been doing so for years. Plus, well, Melih is stubborn as a defiant mule.

That all said, I really don't get the behaviors on the Comodo forum. And like I said, if the software owner is OK with it as it is then it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks or believes.

I confirm, Melih doesn't like having the real problems explained to him publicly. That's where the problem lies. I've already talked about it, I won't repeat myself. If I'm staying with Comodo, it's because I can't find an equivalent, otherwise it wouldn't be on my PC. Now I'm getting out the popcorn and waiting for the next one. Huorong: If this one had a sandbox and a cloud, maybe it could compete with CIS?

It does not matter how many times this is explained to bug and, especially, bypass reporters.

If they would only submit the reports via Support channels, with good evidence - videos, logs, Windows Events, kill chain analysis, etc - then they would have a much better result. Few people have figured out this is the way.

Maybe.

HIPS is dead. Been dead for a number of years.

Local virtualization/containment is on its way out too except for virtual machines. Every virtualization product out there is either no longer actively developed or in maintenance. (Comodo is in maintenance; it is no longer being actively developed for years. Only "fixes" and cosmetic improvements.) Sandboxie is a one-man shop now and it has no long-term future. Shadow Defender, Faronics, a few others - those have been in maintenance for 10+ years. Perhaps Rollback RX and Reboot Restore.

The longer-term future of Windows systems is VDI Windows. Basically, many consumer and enterprise systems will be Windows PC will be Windows VDI terminal - a la Google ChromeOS & Chromebooks. If - and here is the caveat - IF - Microsoft offers cheap VDI to OEMs. If that happens, the cloud-based version of Windows is limitless for the consumer/home user market globally.

Microsoft has no interest in making a Windows version that competes head-to-head with ChromeOS. Too much work for Microsoft. Windows VDI is the M$'s play.

Best thing nowadays for virtualization is just to not be cheap and buy a Windows Pro license, throw it into a VMWare or VirtualBox virtual machine, activate it, and then harden the:

1. real system/physical system (Host OS)
2. VMWare or VirtualBox (don't use Hyper-V)
3. the Guest OS
4. take known good, golden snapshot

And have at it.

5. revert to known good, golden snapshot

mwhahahahahah

Given that both VMWare Workstation Pro and VirtualBox are free - as in given away freely with 0 Euro cost - and VL Windows Pro licenses can be had for cheap - I am flummoxed as to why people don't do the above. At least the security conscious folk.

I have VMs that have been in-use for 10+ years. Secure, secure, and should I mess up - oh well - revert to SnapShot "Golden." Just have to semi-annually update the "Golden" snapshot and create a new "Golden" snapshot.

Not exactly rocket science. Just takes the willingness and time to do it. people don't want to take the time to build a virtual machine - or, more commonly - they try to throw too much third party software into a single virtual machine and turn it into a PITA. Solution is separate virtual machines for specific tasks. For development, throw your favorite IDE and other development tools into your <dev> VM and leave it at that. For trading, install your trading and investment apps onto it and just use it for that. Of course that is far too much for people to wrap their minds around. Too much work. But actually, practically, no it isn't. Especially when you build efficiencies into your operations.

Stubborn. Defiant. I like that. I'd like to hang out in a favela and talk shop with you.

Take the martelo to Comodo. (hammer).

With all that Bumbum de menina Brasiliera you live in paradise. (Brazilian butts).

Sorry, but since auto-translation was enabled, I obviously didn't notice...

CF is kind of like religion in a way in the security world, either you believe in it and use it or don't. I'm agnostic towards CF, used but found better options but that doesn't mean it doesn't hold value.

Which alternatives do you have in mind?
