You are the one stating its safe, so demonstrate what all your settings do and they interact with the OS and software. Show your knowledge of this simple to use application you all keep claiming. Take your top used applications and explain how they interact with your system and how your settings effect them. Explain what happens at windows update times with these settings and how those services are effected. You claim its so simple and easy, you demonstrate.
Give me an unbiased opinion please. Concerning Containment and CS

No, no. YOU are the one who claim it isn't safe, yet YOU have failed to demonstrate anything of the like. He simply replied to you.
Oh my goodness you guys are relentless mob mentality cant stand on your own two feet have to gang up on users type chumps aren't you?
He claimed its perfectly safe then asked me to demonstrate why it isnt, so no, the burden of proof lies on all you chumps that think this application should be used by novices and average users.

It's fine lil kid, you weren't able to provide any data or how to trash the system with the mentioned settings, nothing new when people spam something like that and "being expert on it" knowing alot about it but dead in cold ice when u ask them "Then how do I do to see what you are repeating all over again" and zzzz. It's fine, I knew u were al takl but 0 testing by yourself so you have nothing to share actuually on this matter. I tested CIS like 6 years ago, and did just some days ago for fun. The latest version improved a lot and it's quite silent in default settings, all the major issues I had in the past are gone, some little are still there but ain't critical at all. On regular basis, after testing it looks pretty normal and safe. Haven't tested other's as I did in the past but I would believe they have improved as well.
I'm probably old enough to be your dad, especially with your mentality. Its a default deny, it means it restricts things, which means it can break things. Get over yourself and think for yourself.

Have you not been claiming it isn't safe for a new user in various Comodo threads going back months? All he asked was that you show how it's unsafe, in other words, back up all those claims.
Chuck instead of speaking crap, show your knowledge level, you demonstrate why this is so simple anyone can use it. Explain what the restrictions and settings you use effect software and the operating system.

Smartscreen is also about blocking, and many regular AV's may work as blocking files before execution as well. Your words are empty. Having the ability to run stuff virtualized partially o total on the AV solution itself is handy. The FW is quite good and overall I couldn't reproduce nothing of your book text about trashing the system. I guess even If I set up defaualt deny, nothing bad happens, and on default settings even less. Thanks for wasting your time giving me 0 new data.

I have. I've said in several threads that I set it up by Cruelsister's videos and forget about it. I don't know how to write rules, or much else other than emptying the container. Why? Because I don't care about digging into the thing. I don't have that level of knowledge to do more than install, configure and forget itChuck instead of speaking crap, show your knowledge level, you demonstrate why this is so simple anyone can use it.

App Review - Comodo 2025 Containment Variations
The firewall runs well on this laptop. It ran well on my previous laptop in the older version before this one, and in an older version on another old laptop before that, and on a couple of desktops going back to, version 3 or 4 when I found Comodo Firewall.
All I've ever done is install, set Proactive Secutiry, and go. With Cruelsister, there were a couple of extra tweaks that made things even better.

Chuck57, I endorse completely what you said. After reading the whole lot I reassert that there are a couple of professional haters of Comodo that could go on for decades with f platitudes in order to trollize us poor normal people. Things bordering on the neurological.....

They're okay, and they have a right to their opinions. All I've ever done is use s computer primarily for word processing and surfing. I've never gotten into programming, or testing software, or configuring various software beyond the basic. I just want it to work. Comodo works. Not once have any machines I've used with Comodo been infected or been trashed. I think it's because I don't dig into the firewall because I can't. I don't have that skill or knowledge. Minimal configuration seems to work best, anyway.
It may have a lot to do with how you use your system and the software you use too. Most normal people like to actually use their systems and lots of software, hence why I have stated what I have. If you just fire up your system and browser on the browser I'm sure you do not have any issues "knock on wood" that some windows update does not come along and dislike the restrictions. See my point I'm trying to make.

Yes, understand that, and it's never happened. In fact, I don't have much on this or any of the laptops, desktops I've had. Windows 11 updates fine, so far, but you never know with Microsoft. That, though, isn't a Comodo issue, it's Windows, thus a Microsoft issue. They can trash a system that's never had Comodo Firewall on it, and they have.
I've seen that as well, we all have. Without using your system like others do though, you are unable to understand what they could be facing with applications. Its all I have been trying to convey, that novice to average users that use default deny software could have very troubling issues running software they will not understand. Its really that simple. Its not a knock to the software or users of the software even though they all take offense immediately. Its just responsible to warn other less experienced users that read here that these limitations exist when they are uninformed and inexperienced. I wish I had a dollar for every time I have seen a user come to this forum since 2011 and state I read here a guide, and set up software now I having issues with my system, been infected, or crashed my computer. So asking a user when they want to know something unbiased about a software, are you comfortable and knowledgeable enough to handle it and then explaining why a default deny can cause issue is not bashing anyone or anything, its only helping users be informed.

as an experiment I just ran Firefox browser in Virtual containment with only the weakest "Partially limited" Restriction level. I could surf to a few sites without issues, including playing Youtube videos and a video from a popular sports website. I tried to downloaded Crap cleaner free download from the official website (it is safe of course), and although it showed to successfully download to my Downloads folder, it did not touch the directory
That was good to see with the weakest Restriction level enabled. I tried "Restricted" level but it essentially crippled Firefox.

sorry, just to clarify I wanted to illustrate that cfw's Containment might also be a handy way to sandbox a web browser, similar to the way Sandboxie does.

I see your point. However, with Comodo, the less tinkering the better. Enable Proactive Defense, make a couple of other things, and forget it. It's that some people just can't leave things alone. There is no need for further configuration beyond Proactive. I've seen, and i know you have, long threads about configuring Comodo, and then a new thread pops up where half the people in the other thread are slamming it because they screwed something up with their incessant tinkering. The less done, the better.

I use Firefox in containment. I have since moving to the new release. No problems whatever. In fact, it seems just a teeny bit faster in containment than outside on this machine. There's no need to use containment. The firewall covers you without.@tofargone

Your posts serve no purpose. The things you say about Comodo are nonsensical. You know nothing about Comodo. It looks like we’ve got a security magician in our midst, pulling misinformation and bullshit from his hat to keep us all entertained! Hav fun!!

Comodo is a product that is nothing special. I remember all the modules and settings since I was 13 and I am 30 now. The settings are also well documented on Comodo’s website.
Not sure why after all these years, the Comodo modules and settings are still not understood and we need several Comodo threads on a daily basis, all regarding Comodo.
This is not the Comodo community here, it is MalwareTips. The website has been hijacked by several Comodo fanatics who desperately want to prove that Comodo is awesome and the whole world should install Comodo. More alarming, these pro-fanatics are pushy and issue statements that other solutions are garbage.
The fact about Comodo is that it is a product that is not actively developed, full of bugs widely reported, including on the forum (the last time I tried it, my system was totally frozen). It is not a security system, just an automated sandbox that isolates whatever it deems necessary.
It is a highly user-dependant system and much higher level of security can be achieved by using other solutions.
