[QUOTE="ικανότητα, post: 805616, member: 78826"] No software is perfect but that doesn't change the fact that Comodo solutions are not crafted to be used by average users. If they were, they would be very different to how they have been in the past and currently are. One very simple thing to take a look at would be customer support. Comodo's customer support is not good - average users want good customer support and if you aren't going to provide good customer support then you can forget about having a large user-base of average users. Default-deny does not tell you whether something is clean or not - it simply blocks or asks you if you want to block. Average users almost always go for default-allow because it is convenient for them. Less breakages. With default-allow they will be told if something was considered to be malicious when it is blocked… and even if that happens, they will do exactly what you said and go ahead with it despite the pop-up/warning. The only way is to be as automatic as you can and provide the user with less controls. Flagged something? Auto-quarantine it. There's a reason vendors like Symantec are doing this off-the-bat. Others like SOPHOS and Cylance have gone to further lengths to restrict control from the average user. You like Comodo and you like default-deny - average users do not care about either enough hence why neither are prevalent for average users. [/QUOTE]
