It just shows how crap Comodo truly is! I wonder what the Comodo forum members would make of the above video???

But come on!
They did again a year repairs

Default settings are terrible
My suggestion for configuration is to activate "Proactive Security"

And set HIPS to "Allow Requests"

And in Antivirus settings set "Quarantine Threats"

To think I would have removed Kaspersky to install a security suite that is going know where - I don't know why Melih just does not give-up.

Are they still give a reward if someone is infect the PC?

Hi Guys- last month I discovered a fairly critical issue with the Comodo 8 sandbox. A file was constructed that would spawn a payload daughter which would then enumerate all files in the directory where the parent malware resides and would then delete all of these files. Note that these actions occurred even though both the parent and daughter were contained in the Sandbox (with Comodo 8, Full V is the default setting).

can be a configuration problem?

I am very happy to write that I was totally incorrect (WRONG) in my earlier statement that the flaw previously reported was not fixed. I re-coded the malware to seek out files in other directories and noticed that the process was stopped and no harm done. So as the malicious activity seemed to be specific to the Downloads directory the answer was then pretty obvious- this particular directory is included in Shared Space, so various processes by a given file are allowed here but will still be contained (no systemic changes possible).

Proof of this was straightforward- Opening the Sandbox settings and Removing the downloads directory from the Shared Space prevents that which I was UNJUSTIFIABLY WHINING about. Comodo Rocks, and I apparently do not.

Thanks for honesty and further testing @cruelsister
Look forward to more of your thorough observations

If they will let the computer to my daughter 20 minutes this weekend I invited my family to eat at a restaurant
with the reward

Thanks cruel sister. What do you recommend for configuration? I'm ready to jump once I know. Thanks again!

I installed Comodo 8 on my old laptop an it slowed it down (even though it has 16GB of RAM), Google Chrome would not connect, OutLook 365 would not connect and crashed twice. I never tested any malware etc., but all I can say is extremely poor result and terrible piece of software. I would like Melih to answer such questions, but then he has fixed 200+ bugs

I would look for other issues that could result in this happening, i have CIS8 running in Virtualbox windows 7 Guest machine "only 4 gig of ram dedicated" on Linux, and it is running just fine, matter of fact, i tweaked all the settings, like setting Firewall to custom, ect and still smooth as can be.

I suppose it depends on each individual system, that's why some experience bugs, whilst others do not. But considering it's running Windows 8.1, only has office 365 and Google Chrome installed with all the latest updates; then I don't know what is doing it.

illumination you may also like to view Comodo Forum and see the bugs people are reporting, how insecure default settings are and the file submission bug is still there (you do surprise me).

 

[illumination]

(you do surprise me).

Why do i surprise you?
I am a member of at Comodo forums, and have been keeping up, with the same ole same ole..
I want to remind you that CIS and VIrtualbox have a history together of not playing well with each other, and the fact that i have it installed in VB, and this was probably the smoothest installation i have ever seen out of CIS including tweaking the settings, was what i had referred too, but one also has to remember, this was on a clean windows 7 that had not had any other security on it prior to CIS installation.

Now i have not tested default settings with a malware pack yet, as i was first testing stability/usability.

I do know all systems are different, and understand what works for one may not for another, i was simply trying to say, before chucking a verdict, look around, see if there is not something else causing you this issue.

 

[Tony Cole]

You do not surprise me, the file submission bug does.

 

[darko999]

People complains 2much about one of the most trusted free AV/FW outhere ; )

 

[Janl92l]

When u know what ur doing and tweak it to the right settings its one of the best full suits out there. And a big + its free, not like other full suits. Nothing to complain here about comodo on my end. The only thing i dont like is the low detection rate, but thats not a big deal, they even say itself "prevention before detection" and a new engine is alwrdy in work.

 

[bitbizket]

Althought i'm not a fan anymore, honestly this is by far the most stable release i've seen in years.
