COMODO Internet Security 5.8.210479.2111 RC2 Released

[Jack]

Hello Everyone,

Here is the 4th BETA of CIS 5.8 which addresses some bugs and puts a new option.

What's new in 5.8.209729.2104?

NEW! Enchanced Protection Mode: Defense+ now allows the users to selectively enable/disable new protecton mechanisms
FIXED! CAV crashes on various files when on bad disk sectors
FIXED! Trusted files can not be purged
FIXED! Varirous language related issues

There are many other small fixes in this release.
Enhanced protection mode option was enabled by default in previous BETAs however in this release, we disabled it by default and made available through D+ settings. We will re-enable it by default after some time once we are convinced that it works as expected in 5+ million endpoints at the same time.

What needs to be tested?

The most important features of this BETA are related to HIPS and AV. So the most valuable bugs are the REPRODUCIBLE bugs which are related to system stability issues, compatibility issues, and crashes.

You are more than welcome to test all other features as well. Please if you observe BSODs, give us the memory dumps.

Will the final be v.6.0?

No, built 5.8 will be the no. of this release......We are still a long way from v6:

I will be wait for FINAL release and test it again.

I'll wait for the final release and then I'll use it as protection ...... CIS has to be one the finest pieces of free security software out-there..

We have just updated to the version 5.8.210479.2111 because of a rare issue related to HIPS.

Any idea what that issue was?

I've installed COMODO Internet Security 5.8.210479.2111 RC2 on my system today , and everything is working great , the only small problem that I've encountered is the 20-30 second lag when starting the system...
Defense+ is very quiet , I' ve started around 20 programs and I've got only a alert (In fact 5 alerts but all from one program) generated by BsPlayer.I've submitted a request for this program to be white listed so hopefully we won't see any alerts from bspalyer in the near future.

Alerts generated by BsPlayer :

To be noted that I've also disabled the COMODO Message Center...it's too intrusive and it doesn't display info that I might need.

i disabled it too, but enabled the balloon messages, for you did the updater tray icon appears and did nothing when you click on it?

Version numbers mean nothing unless there have been major improvements/or new features. I don't see the hype for CISv6.

There are going to be some major improvements. Such as full virtualization of the automatic sandbox.
