Yes, and the free version.
New Update Introducing Comodo Internet Security 2027 V12.4.0.8170
Where can i get the free version i get the 30 day trial instead
Free version links are only on the forum these days. Direct download link for the Premium (Free) version: https://download.comodo.com/cis/download/installs/9090/standalone/cispremium_installer.exe the paid version only really includes a Virus-Free guarantee covering up to $500 and Personal Internet & Identity Coverage. All the features of the product are the same despite what information is on the website. There is literally no protection difference between the Premium and the Pro. Historically the paid version would include VPN and 24/7 GeekBuddy support but that was some years ago.
Comodo is the equivalent of a guy who built a nuclear-proof fallout shelter in his basement in 2004, locked the door, and refuses to come out even though the house has indoor plumbing now. It is genuinely mind-boggling that in an era where refrigerators have machine learning and AI models can write entire codebases, opening up Comodo Antivirus feels like stepping into a time capsule where Windows XP just booted up and a popup is aggressively asking you if you want to allow svchost.exe to breathe air.
You’d think a cybersecurity company sitting on piles of threat intelligence data could slap together some modern AI detection, but instead, their strategy appears rooted in a deep, philosophical commitment to medieval combat. Their auto-containment strategy relies on throwing every unknown file, harmless text document, and innocent picture of your cat straight into an airtight digital gulag because it refuses to use subtle AI heuristics when "guilty until proven innocent" is so much more exhausting.
Meanwhile, the interface looks like it was designed in a Winamp skin contest from 2006, where they just add a new year to the title and change the shade of blue while the engine keeps screaming at you about buffer overflows with dialog boxes that require a degree in computer science just to close.
As a cybersecurity company, they swim in telemetry data and have all the special enterprise tools at their disposal, yet their consumer division operates out of a metaphorical shed in the backyard, proudly clinging to stubborn default-deny rules and asking the user forty times a day whether an innocent installer is allowed to exist or should be vaporized. At this rate, quantum computers will be mainstream before Comodo decides that predictive machine learning is finally worth a shot.

Detailed in the first post of this topic. Some usability fixes and rebranding HIPS to EDR. There appear to be some under the hood fixes as well which improved containment protection but that information wasn't publicised.
Thanks.
I've read the first post in this topic but with all due respect there is no mentioning of any bug fixes or new features and there is no changelog or whatsoever. Even the updater function still doesn't seem to work which was also not working in previous release(s).
Changing HIPS naming to EDR is just a cosmetic update like they did with the UI in the previous release(s).
This release isn't any better than the previous one (or the ones before that).
It is yet again only a cosmetic update and nothing more than that.
About hidden or not published fixes, why hide them from the public?
Comodo write those fixes in a changelog so people can read about it then we believe you!
Yes, on the surface, seems to be just a renaming of HIPS to EDR to be in line with their Xcitiuim products though @cruelsister has tested it recently indicating the containment protection level has improved. Comodo Firewall and Virtualized Browsers It does update smoothly and still runs well on my machine. Hopefully with the naming conventions being the same as the updates will become more of a thing. I guess further testing to be considered to find what else was fixed but I haven't the time.
I think we all would love to see some evidence (changelog) showing that some or more bugs from the past have been resolved, isn't it?
It's been always like this with Comodo, mods or staff telling you to just install the new release and than to find out yourself what still hasn't been fixed (and probably never will)...

You'll have to look at the logs for cmd but Explorer block by EDR was explorer trying to access Comodo's files or when you used it to add a file rule etc. Explorer tries to access the related Comodo file. The block is self protection feature. You'll get loads for task manager when you open it for the same reason. Even iTunes will get blocked but in these cases, it's only blocking the access to the Protected Files:

IMPORTANT: Don't Use KillSwitch or Cleaning Essentials until it's been updated! Comodo identified a security issue with it and will be pushing out removal scripts and removing it from new installs until it's been patched. Post link: Important Security Update - CIS Killswitch & Cleaning Essentials
Speaking as someone who loves a good write and takes great joy in communication that is both comprehensive, yet simple to understand, I have to applaud the above. You made my day. I wish I had written it.

It was reported on the forum that Comodo has a serious flaw.
Given the delay in getting a fix or an update to resolve the issue, I’d really like to know what will actually happen to my computer if I use Kill Switch and Comodo Cleaning Essentials. Does anyone have an explanation for this?
Because so far, I’ve been using Kill Switch and Comodo Cleaning Essentials, and nothing has happened.

Favorite rant of the month and 100% on point.
I will be honest Comodo with cruelsister settings inspired me to switch to macOS. An operating system where everything is sandboxed by default. I should not have to fiddle around. So I have not checked in years and I'm shocked. It's like a time machine from a different era where computers look like this. It's unbelievable.

this is a reason why as much as professionality goes, Windows 7 wins. It had an option to boot into the "last good known configuration" it didn't need any system restore images or anything, it just had a idle snapshot ready to fire up and replace the current ongoing investigation.
7 had some magic tools that simply allowed it to be restored without DISM and third party tools, all you had need is to keep a ISO image to access WinPE and from there you could recover it completely.
i've recovered a few times some other computers that weren't mine but includes me too, countless times this way. If not with a CMD open in WinPE, you had 70% full chances of going live, even if you managed to like, have a sudden blackout while being on a generic hdd, you could still come out alive. 10/11 went from actual designed by IT's/DevOps and hive minds collective, to being a OS 80% made by AI and just 20% by actual real humans, sole reason why on some PC's that were running Windows 7 the need of W10, some upgrades failed straight up front. I guess no OS will ever be as maintained as 7 has been.
note: W10 updates can fail sometimes because of W Defender as well, you'd be surprised as the ##### av that it is, it does botch your system sometimes. So if somebody downloads some definitions, either by GUI or PowerShell, it happens that they hibernate there and make themself cozy in a deep sleep, just like a bear, the difference is that they do not wake up.
not to mention force integrations of many apps, including but not excluding Edge, where this thing can do these amazing stuff and leave you in thin air lol

as for comodo.. man, what a throwback...
this thing also now iirc even panda too, they were a beast
comodo won the avira tug of war and for a reason why it was still the best cybersecurity suite up until 2011-2012, from 2014, Kaspersky took all the eyes and it mopped the floor with all AV ever since
deep down am a Panda fan despite the non-sense they've become since 2009, it was a inventive AV for it's time

You can achieve sandbox in Kaspersky as well if you set to default everything and then just change one setting in Network that Low Restricted mode block network access so all unknow to Kaspersky will not have any network access and if you like any app to get access allow it manually and that we you can get peace of mind and no pop up at all. so Comodo is now an ancient product which can be kept in Museum.
But the Comodo container does more I think.
Hi if i am running comodo firewall only what parts can i uncheck?
