Serious Discussion Comodo Internet Security 2025 was obliterated by an exploit!

[bazang]

well, in some aspects i disagree with cruelsister when she/he talks about comodo/cis problems/faults/exploits/delayonfixingbugs etc., but its just me. she/he has good ideas on testing avs and has skills. i dont think that the explanations she said on the other forum was the true. i dont want to bleave she got so mad with trolls on the internet. i though she/he was older... anyway... come back to mt! here is your house

Comodo has a tiny number of bypasses whereas all the other AVs have many. At least here on MT, when a problem with Comodo is reported the outcry is disproportionate to the problem.

There are a lot of people who have resentments against Comodo and Melih because neither of those two will do what those people want.

As far as the delay in bug fixes, that is what happens when a software has $0 revenue. I don't know how many times I have to repeat this but the Comodo products have no dedicated developers. That is because there is no revenue to support such a team. And without a dedicated developer team, the product will never be any better than it is right now.

If people want Comodo to be bug free, then they need to start paying for it. Or at least make bug fix donations.

This is never going to change. Ever. Not unless Melih decides to sell the Comodo product, which is highly unlikely since he spent his own personal money to have the Comodo products created for ideological reasons. CIS/CFW are expressions of Melih's ideology. They are his pet projects. Created to demonstrate ideological points. Which he detests and rails against the antivirus/security software establishment.

Microsoft Defender + modified Cruelsister settings.

The default Comodo Firewall settings with the below changes:









Comodo will work in Cruelsister settings only for applications with less than 1-day file age. This will help Microsoft Defender detect 0-day threats after a one-day delay.

And I suspect that's why CS left. Every other AV has had reports of bypasses through the time I've been here. Mostly they've been discussed and people moved on. Comodo has something mentioned and the usual crowd of 'experts' appear with their comments. The sad part is Cruelsister knew more than just Comodo, and it's a shame to lose that expertise.

well, i agree that some get crazy about anything related to cis and thats a shame. i dont know the real reason that makes her leave mt but one can agree that these inflamed comments by the "cis union of crazy experts" are getting too far... people need to have feeling about what they say/write for others... i, myself, am learning to be a bit more ... in this line ... here on mt.

Pretty sure she once said she quit and wouldn't make videos and actually didn't for a very long time but eventually came back and I'm certain she will again and no matter if she does or not I still use comodo with her config on majority of PCs I have and her videos helped a lot to find a software that are good better and wich worse and what second opinions are superior to others
(Kaspersky and Norton power eraser did the best against worms )

Let's just all be honest here. There is a core element of Comodo haters and @cruelsister haters on MT.

People like me accept Comodo for what it is - a software full of bugs because it has $0 revenue to make it any better than it is right now. Without revenue, I really do not understand how people expect Comodo or Melih to fix problems.

Most people just expect Comodo and Melih to fix it just because it exists. That is not how it works. Melih has no obligation to fix anything.

Well I hope Cruelsistor will still make the occasional video and post it here. Her settings are now part of the Comodo landscape as I now use them as a standard when setting up Comodo on my own systems or somebody elses.

As stated a la Bazang you get a lot with Comodo for zero dinero especially if it`s configered for optimim protection. So I`m still enjoying this free lunch.

Still no IPV6 attack to report.

i dont think its the case and i dont mention names. what i see is that there is many who just talk trash about anything related to cis. i dont know... i just think that people could try to think a little bit more and realize that its a software, only a software... you know...

btw... i wish you all a great new year full of victories, resolutions, achievements, happiness, health and peace

The "All Applications" file group doesn't work with the "File age" criteria. It didn't work when I tested it with the previous Comodo version. This could be a bug or a design issue. Have you tested it?

This is the third notification I've gotten about you quoting my post, but none of your posts included my comment. Is this a forum bug?

 

[vitao]

Comodos owner is just a bad person, he bans people on the forums for simply saying there's bugs in comodo lol

There is a discussion going on in this thread:

Guys you need to stack up your game and improve the signatures

Really, all that remains for me is to wish the best wishes for 2025, hoping that this year 2025 will be the complete opposite of the year 2024, that is to say a great year for COMODO CIS. 2024 Comodo year to be forgotten as quickly as possible please! Happy New Year to All

and Mellih keeps insisting on the idea that a signature base is not important because their security solution blocks everything that is not legitimate and for this reason everyone would be safe, while other antivirus developers would be insecure with the idea of protection based on virus signatures.

Well, I won't argue anymore, I won't waste my time with this type of argument that, at least for me, is quite idiotic.

What does Mellih have to say about this:



or this:



Since I am suspended from participating in the forum, if anyone wants, post these links there so we can see what the owner of Comodo will say about it... what will be the excuse this time...

I hope you'll keep your promise and stop retelling that depressing Comodo story!

Repetitive questions, already answered by Melih and his team, are polluting the forums. That's good; they're banning those users. Comodo operates on a default-deny principle. Following the Comodo suite's introduction, the antivirus became secondary. Users shouldn't expect detection to improve. I wish dissatisfied users would abandon Comodo, causing significant losses for the company!

Comodo is Melih's brainchild... If you want to make a difference with Comodo, your best bet is to say "I do" to Melih and hope for an infinitesimal chance to co-parent Comodo!

And this thread keeps going on and on and on basically because 4 or 5 people keep posting in it, so is CS right, the trolls are everywhere??

sadly they are... but this topic has an specific subject. lets focus on it again...

this is a troll behaviour...

I tested that setup (Serious Discussion - Comodo Internet Security 2025 was obliterated by an exploit!) and it works on my machine (Cloud lookup enabled). I used the newly created files (compiled on my machine). Most files downloaded from the Internet are not new to Comodo (even if Unrecognized), so the 1-day limit will not block them. On the contrary, the 0-day malware will be contained in one day. Also, non-0-day malware can be contained in one day if it is unknown in the Comodo cloud (not submitted). However, such malware will be mainly detected by Microsoft Defender.

Well those few trolls are very vocal but being optimistic it should fizzle out a bit by this time next year?

An antivirus module was a part of the original Comodo design specification, but as Melih explained over 10 years ago, the signatures are meant - purposely designed - to detect only very old malware. He said back then he is not going to invest the money into a team whose job is going to be creating new signatures. In short, he did/does not want to spend the money.

This all goes back to Comodo being a software with $0 revenue to support its features. What money it (and Xcitium) receive to pay for them comes out of Melih's own personal pocket.

Any software as complex as CIS/Xcitium with $0 revenue is always going to have a LOT of problems.

I know someone is going to say that Xcitium has subscribers but that software probably does not even have 350,000 Euros revenue. In order for a software to support itself, for every 2 to 3 employees supporting it, it must have at least 750,000 Euros in revenue. With inflation, I would raise that number to 1,000,000 or 1,250,000 Euros.

CS does not consider the 4 or 5 people that keep posting on this thread as the trolls.

First off, it is completely wrong to categorize those you disagree with as trolls. But that is how the snowflake internet now works.

Well, the problems demonstrated do exist however these people still do not understand that Melih is not going to go out of his way to fix them because that money comes out of his own pocket. Nobody pays for Comodo except for Melih himself. What little revenue @Xcitium receives is not nearly enough to make any kind of difference in the product development. Complaining users need to start sending donations, but they will not. They just expect Melih to pay for it all.

 

[Andy Ful]

It is unclear in your post, who these people are (those who made videos or those who left MT ). Let's make it clearer: @Andy Ful understands Melih well.
Furthermore, I do not think that Melih would be obliged to do more to improve CIS (not paid) even if he had more money. Did other vendors cover all attack vectors in the free AVs?
Of course, people still have the right to be disappointed. However, we should discuss how justified this disappointment is (we did it in a few threads).
