App Review COMODO Internet Security 2025 Premium

@Shadowra
I also find it very funny that none of the people who criticize you simply make such a video themselves to show that you are wrong.
Instead they write long texts with their arguments without proof

BTW Thanks for the great videos, I find them very enriching as a further source of information

Not a battle to be honest, I am not willing to read all these long posts. As I said earlier, what me, @Shadowra, @Decopi and other experts users had to say, has been said. From here onwards, not gonna engage in circular posts whether or not Comodo is good, as we all know the product, it is not a secret to anyone.

As long as no claims are supplied that it is “the best”. Frankly, in recent discussions these claims are now under control and not like before, so all good.

To be honest, why allow someone else's involvement to impact you when you and Shadowra had nothing to do with it or never initiated it?

@kailyn I really dislike non-careful thinking. One can't create a group labeled 'home users' just because they use their laptops mainly at home. There is simply too many kinds of configuration skill levels, usage preferences. There are just too many possible differences to label them as one group. Claiming that CIS is defenseless when one turns off Auto Containment is justifiable. But thinking that this entire group of people will disable it when they encounter problems. Plus thinking this entire group of people have a single usage style of not doing any additional configuration. These 2 things, taken individually, already does not make sense. But when you combine these 2 things, which each has much more variance, and arrive at a conclusion is not careful thinking.

Businesses like McDonald's do very specific and narrow studies that before spending any money. Eg. They know traffic patterns from their massive amount of branches, they also buy research data on when many people choose to buy food, before they spend a dime on advertising at particular times of the day on TV, streaming channels etc. Pretend that you have to spend money on the conclusions you make and you will start to be more a careful thinker. Being a more careful thinker affects every decision you make every day. As a starter, Narrowly define what point you are trying to prove, and you have a higher chance of arriving at a good and sound conclusion. At least you should apply this to money matters. At least try to obtain numeric measurements.

Decopi said that Comodo ensures 100% infection if the user disables containment. (Which is not correct. He is just speculating as there is no certainty whatsoever that an infection will happen if CIS virtualization is disabled. The user can use HIPS, the AV component might catch it, or Viruscope. It is not a 100% certainty but it is possible.) His "argument" is that CIS's other components are so weak that if containment is disabled there is an absolute certainty that a user will get infected. It is just another way for this person to bash CIS while giving the appearance that he is making a credible statement of fact. Quite frankly, his argument is amateurish to the point of being ridiculous.

There are users that do enable the CIS HIPS and create strong default deny policies without ever having to use containment. They basically configure CIS to function as software restriction policy. Others use the virtual environment to contain the browser and other programs targeted for exploits - like Microsoft 365 apps, while their HIPS policies are configured to "that which is not allowed - whitelisted - is denied."

I never said that home users will disable protections if they encounter problems. What I said was that home users can disable CIS containment and they can also disable any other security software's protections. The point being that it is absurd to criticize one particular product on the basis of disabling a protection whenever the very same thing can be done with every other security software. It is trivial to disable protections or a single protection in either Kaspersky or Bitdefender and infect the system. So those products are identical to CIS with regards to disabling protections.

@harlan4096, I think this topic can now be locked, everything in relation to @Shadowra test has been discussed and from now on it will just be page after page, circular posts.

The more it becomes controversy the more people want it.

exactly! that's why I found the 2025 version and put it on VM last night. And yes, in the past almost 24h I found a bug or 2, but seemingly not critical to primary function on this VM: firewall & containment. Curious to see how good / bad virus scans and cloud analysis is, or has become, but so far no comodo analysis yet.

The group label 'home users' and how it is defined may be sufficient to benefit a particular business. But I don't think it should be freely re-used by any other one. The group label was created for one use. Popular media use that because they also benefit from persuading a large number of people because lots of people would automatically self identify themselves as part of that group just because of the word 'home'. Media aims to create trust with a large population, media also makes money if they attract a lot of readers. Their reviews may be accurate. But their use of the term is serves a purpose. But as users ourselves, and MT members as group reading opinion on AV there is no benefit.
