CFW will block absolutely everything, including safe files!
Defender vs a Novel Stealer Variant

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Off topic, I really liked Comodo cloud AV. It had a great behavioral blocker which was in essence an anti-exec with a signature based whitelist (with an option to remove all the signatures I did not need to further increase the effectiveness of the signature whitelist).
I also liked Comodo's Time Machine, but that was sadly also dumped. Looking at the update interval and numbrr of open issues, CFW and CIS future seems unsure also.

what a person does is far more important to their safety than what softwares they combine and use, but a place like this is hyper focused on security software and the localhost
for the neophyte that downloads whatever they want microsoft defender can end up not being enough, for the advanced security minded user microsoft defender probably is enough because even if they get infected they will know how to handle it
since there are no infection statistics per specific security software (there is, but it is highly guarded internal software publisher statistics) that anyone can reference, the discussion is highly flawed and problematic, but pointing users to use a better bandaid is better than nothing
it should make you wonder why publishers do not openly share their infection rate statistics (even sanitized details that cannot be leveraged by bad actors)
however, senior microsoft personnel stated that their s mode was highly secure giving them the best security results they ever had, since this is based upon actual deployment at scale (across millions of devices), you can intelligently infer what digital security philosophy, strategy and methods are not perfect, but highly effective

comodo has been put into maintenance only, no further development, and maintenance is very slow
looking at the releases it has been that way for years
Not using pirated/cracked torrented software, keygens/activators, hacks/cheats, etc, + an adblocker like uBlock Origin, is enough.
Thanks for the siggestion, but I choose WD Application Control as whitelist (only allow all Microsoft signed and Syncback Free signature to update from user folders) and Macrium Free for image backup.

Although you are totally correct, one should not blame a user for the inadequacies of a security product.
With a bad product a person can be as careful as possible and still get infected, while when using a superior one can be totally careless and still be protected.
And speaking of superior products:
Not true. Although fixing minor bugs that some have are being ignored, the database is still updated, and until the strength of the product is shown to fail (breached) there is no need for a major build update. The transition into Corporate/Consumer product line (similar to Symantec/Norton) may be confusing, but currently no issues exist.

Zero Trust is the way to go.
Either Comodo, Trellix with DAC, HardConfig or similar, Kaspersky in default deny, voodooshield etc.
Stealers are a serious problem. Here's a sample that broke multiple AVs and cloud sandboxes.

even major bugs are ignored, there is an entire thread on the comodo forum discussing it, so there is some problems but it is up to the individual to decide if it is enough to deter them from using the product
melish posted somewhere long ago that consumer comodo will always be in maintenance due to almost zero revenue

Dynamic Application Containment
Oh yes, I agree. Being proactive is key. If you know it will be snow storming for the next coming 3 days, picking up an ample supply of beer and munchies beforehand will soothe your anxiety.
Do you have links to proof your claim that it still developed? Any new features released lately?
A mature product should only have minor bugs. For such a mature product, it is strange that minor bugs are ignored. This indicates that there is not enough manpower available. Not enough resources for a mature product usually indicates that it is at the end of its product life cycle. Could you post a link of the release history to see what bugs are fixed?

@fakewatchman So Comodo is rebranded to Xcitium on the 15th of december. With fixes only or also new functionality?
So, I can quote you as saying the rebranding is not just for the enterprise version? (Endpoint Solution??)I've spoken to Xcitium recently. New release coming on the 15 of December. Will contain new branding and fixes. You can quote me on that
