Deleted member 178 · Oct 10, 2011

Hi Guys,

We are excited to announce that COMODO Internet Security 2012 has just been released!
This is the fastest, lightest and the strongest CIS that has even been released.

We would like to thank all of our BETA testers whose feedback made this release possible.

What's new in COMODO Internet Security 2012?

NEW! Simplified installation experience
NEW! Seamless integration with COMODO ESM 2.0 Business Edition
NEW! Enhanced protection mode: Defense+ is now stronger in 64 bit operating systems
NEW! New options for popup alerts and antivirus alerts
IMPROVED! Look and feel
IMPROVED! Resource consumption and performance
FIXED! Firewall does not work properly on Bluetooth PAN adapters
FIXED! Antivirus crashes on files that reside on bad sectors
FIXED! Various race conditions exploited by malware to evade Defense+

New in CIS 5.8.213334.2131

FIXED! CMC is not shown properly
FIXED! Startup folders are not configured for all users

Updated 10/20/2011: Program updates are released as of today.

Updating from CIS 5.5 to CIS 5.8
There will be a 2 stage updating mechanism for old users. The initial update will be updating the updater to the latest version which is capable of upgrading to CIS 5.8.

Updating from CIS 5.8.x.2124 to CIS 5.8.x.2131

If you have CIS 5.8.x.2124 installed, you will also receive a small update. Pls check the updated release notes for details.

http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/free-internet-security.php

so then, for users, don't forget to do a clean installation. uninstall the beta, clean the leftovers with the uninstalling tool ( http://malwaretips.com/Thread-List-of-Uninstallers-and-Removal-Tools-for-Antivirus-Software?pid=25799#pid25799), then re-install the final release.

small tip: to avoid the first full scan asked by CIS (and change the orange shield in the UI into green), add *.* to the exclusions list (antivirus tab), it will do a scan during around 2mn., then the shield will become green, then remove *.* from the exclusion list

Yes, we've had it since Friday.

Although Egemen hasn't made a release thread, it appears that the internal updater is able to update to the final.

I don't know if it is able to update from 5.5, or just from the beta of 5.8 at this time.
