Would not a low level employee be fired on the spot and their posts removed when he/she would qualify their own product on their official forum "Comodo is not secure on Windows 11 due to bugs and compatibility. Do not use it on Windows 11 as your security is compromised."
But the Comodo Fangirl said you should not use it (Comes a man at the doctor, says "hey doc when I press over here it hurts a lot", well "then don't press over there" the doctor answered)

Very unlikely. Low level employees in all kinds of positions working at all kinds of companies say things everyday. Their statements are not official. Just because they said it, doesn't mean it becomes the official position of their employer.
I was making the distinction between an unofficial and official statement.
Comodo has never stated the above, either officially or unofficially."Comodo is not secure on Windows 11 due to bugs and compatibility. Do not use it on Windows 11 as your security is compromised."
It is so sad to see @Oerlink calling employees who work as hard as they could as "low level employees". It is condescending and disrespectful. How can you say or know that they are "low level" so to speak? Besides, how do you know so much about the inner workings of comodo.
Before investing emotionally in a software, also be a bit rational. I love comodo myself and have been using CF at @cruelsister settings for a while now but that is not to say that Comodo is not buggy! It is buggy.
You can assume all you want on whether it is compatible with windows 11 or not - on some machines, it might work perfectly and on some others it won't but their website does not even mention that it is compatible with Windows 11. So, I am sorry, people would tend to trust the comodo website more than your word or words of other fanboys/girls.
I agree with everything that @Decopi said. Being rational and logical is the way to go here than getting emotions getting the better of us for no reason.

@Oerlink
The comment should be read as one sentence to explain why you never see on any official product forum any employee stating that "their product is not secure on Windows 11 due to bugs and compatibility. Do not use it on Windows 11 as your security is compromised." Any employee posting this kind of brand reputation murder would be fired on the spot and their posts removed. That is why you don't see them on the Comodo forum (or Sophos forum or Bitdefender forum or Norton forum or .....)

"low level employee" describes the position and imparts nothing negative about the employee themselves. It has nothing to do with how hard they do or do not work. It is not condescending and disrespectful. It is perfectly acceptable common use English.
I know about Comodo internally and the forum because I have had professional relationships with Comodo staff over the years.
You are correct in that they would not phrase it exactly as I did. On the other hand, if you research what software publishers do say about their products, they admit to serious security flaws all the time. Example: Microsoft Warns About PrintNightmare Vulnerability in Windows
Such statements are hardly "brand reputation murder" because very few people pay attention or care about them. The general public is not even aware of it. What employees state on support forums has virtually no influence except with those participating on the forums.
With 41 other painful spots it may be best to wait for a cure.
They're planning to do a Free version and a Paid version apparently.
I don't know where I stand with all this. A long term Comodo fan and like many got frustrated with the lack of any information regarding updates over the years despite people repeatedly asking the devs. I moved on from Comodo over lockdown and preferring the system hardened default-deny approach with Hard_Configurator.
It works quite well, particularly against ransomware as do most sandboxing software e.g. Voodoo shield and Avast Paid but security is all about layers. We'll see what this Paid and Free versions contain and try the Firewall again whenever that is.
For now sticking with MD (ConfigureDefender and FirewallHardener and Hard_configurator while it still works on my Win 11 machine) and regular backups or use the Emsisoft License I won in the contest this year.

Proof?
That is not true. Comodo has never officially stated "Comodo is not compatible with Windows 11." Again, what a low-level employee posts on a support forum is not official. It is unofficial. This is a matter of established consumer law.
This is not true either. Comodo forum gets archived when a new release will be made. Nobody at Comodo is censoring anything.
What serious risks to security? Proof?
We all get that your point of view is for users to exercise caution with regard to Comodo, but you are making numerous statements that are either outright not true or not substantiated by evidence.

That is something totally different. The vulnerability is published and an out of band security update is released, which Microsoft advises to implement ASAP to its customers. That is how a brand manages its reputation (confirm the problem, provide a solution and take a moderate humble position while the issue is out in the open), compared to what Comodo's does is ignore the problem (e.g. Windows 11 compatibility), don't provide a solution and keep claiming that "cyber security breeches stop here".
I am not against Comodo, just not agreeing with your statements, but I see the logic in your answers (a post on a forum has a different value than an official statement)
Did the takeover by Xcitium change something in your professional relation with Comodo (only asking because you used past tense)?Oerlink said:

Allow me to say that bug number 20 is one of the dangerous bugs, it renders HIPS protection insecure by deleting its own CIS default HIPS rules and the HIPS rules you've created yourself.
I don't know anything about the alleged bugs in Comodo. What I do know is, I've used Comodo firewall off and on since 2008 or 2009, at least since v3 and never, not once, had any malware infections while it's been on any of the 3 or 4 computers I've had during that time.
Currently, I'm using Kaspersky Plus, but could return to Comodo firewall tomorrow, next week or next month. Regardless of what others say, it's proven itself to my satisfaction. As for the stated upgrades that are coming, other than fixing those mysterious bugs I see nothing more they can do, other than make Cruelsister's setup the default.

Oh my word @Oerlink - you are almost not demonstrating any understanding with other people's arguments? Its either a black or white- a win or lose! Let's just summarize by saying "You win good sir - everyone else loses and knows nothing" We just use our computers like typewriters. Peace out

Agree with you @Decopi 100% A sad reality I must say!

Not currently running CF on my win10, but why should I wait until CF is officially compatible with win11 to reinstall it on win10 with @cruelsister tweaks which disable HIPS, the feature reporting bugs. Has win10 changed in the past 2 years sufficiently to render CF dead? I don't know, but I read cruelsister to say it isn't dead, no need to abandon CF. I don't know, but I think at some point, all things being equal, an app gets refined to the point that it does not require ongoing updates...?? Certainly plausible that some reported bugs are user errors / misunderstandings. But would agree cybersecurity is a moving target, has there been a report of malware breaching CF?
Thank you @goodjohnjr for this! I am sure despite all of this @Oerlink will have very cogent arguments to systematically tell us all "we are wrong and using typewriters"

Hi,
I have Googled around to understand why they provide their EDR for free (looked at the market share they have according to some market watchers and consulting firms) and how they position themselves. On their website they compare themselves with other solutions. To my surprise the Cruel Sister config is the default for their business solutions, When you realize that Melih cashed out on Comodo CA (sold and rebranded to Sectigo) he should have some money to spend. I think it is fair he pays CruelSister for her config idea.
When you look at Xcitium about us page and compare it with Comodo about us page, you see the same heads for all IT related stuff. When you realise that the best those guys (Fatih Orhan - COO, Erdal Ozkaya CIO, Ozer Metin - CTO) come up with in the last decade is to copy Cruel Sister's Config for Comodo and make it the default for their new Xcitium business line I say go go @cruelsister diamonds are a girl's best friend (sorry could not find an appropriate Blondie song, hope you are not offended with M.)
PS. Their lack of vision also explains Comodo's drunk man product development approach in the last two decades (starting many new projects and abandoning them later on).

You are welcome, I posted that with one of my comments yesterday, but oddly no one seems to have noticed; and I even gave links to the Comodo website pages for both products & the free products page where I took the screenshots from.

That is one of the reasons why I did not install Comodo to try it out again for the first time in years at the end of last year, when I did not see Windows 11 listed as a compatible operating system on their own download pages even after over a year since Windows 11 was released.
There is a chance that they just have not bothered to update their own download / product pages in almost two years, if so, that is still a bad look.
