Tested and confirmed bugs (August 2024):

View attachment 291352

Assuming that you were right that there were more than 100 older confirmed bugs, both lists confirm that many old bugs were fixed or unconfirmed for the new CIS version.

Comparing both lists confirms or proves absolutely nothing. As said before the last list was composed by collecting the most recent bugs reported on the Comodo forum neglecting and ignoring any older (reported) bugs.

Have a look at the famous HIPS bug:
The famous HIPS bug is on the first list (jan 2024) #20.
The famous HIPS bug is on the second list (aug 2024) #26.

So according to you the famous HIPS bug has been fixed on the first list while it appears again as unfixed on the second list later in time. Call that bug fixing?
No it isn't, those 40 older bugs haven't been fixed. As said before only the bugs labeled as FIXED by the Comodo Staff on the List Of Bugs have been fixed which is the only evidence and prove of any bugs which have been fixed by Comodo. Assuming that more bugs have been fixed is pure speculation and not proven by any evidence.

Oh, absolutely. It's a true digital renaissance.

And then there are the truly enlightened users who, now freed from the laborious task of forming their own thoughts, contribute so much to the vibrancy of these threads. Thanks to all this spare time, we are blessed with invaluable contributions like these.

Pithy, drive-by sarcasm

The cornerstone of any intellectual discourse.

Profoundly unintelligent thought ramblings

These really showcase the raw, unfiltered human spirit, untainted by logic or evidence.

Masterful deflection

Why address the point when you can pivot to something entirely unrelated? It keeps everyone on their toes.

The dedicated dig

My personal favorite. Those noble souls who post only to take a shot at someone else, providing the crucial service of keeping everyone's ego in check.

It's a beautiful, efficient ecosystem. All the friction of genuine engagement has been smoothed away, leaving only the purest forms of online interaction. We should be grateful.

With utmost respect, you need to stop that. When you become a MT Owner or moderator, then I'll listen to you.

You can create threads with rules and censor everyone you determine - willy nilly - determine who does not meet "the rules", and I'm calling that out as a way to censor them.

@Jack and MT staff, if MT is going to permit any user to create any thread with their own rules of conduct, rules of posting, rules of content - then that's some Orwellian 1984 stuff.

While it might, for now, make for a kinder, gentler thread - essentially allowing this usurps even MT owner prerogatives. Plus the "thread creator" can make continual requests to MT staff to modify, alter, revise, or even delete post content.

Need I remind any MT staff that revising any post content - even not allowing the full content - violates U.K., E.U., and U.S. law?. So please, please, please - just don't do it. In the U.K., E.U., and U.S., moderators revising OP content nullifies the protections provided to isolate the platform from any responsibility for the content of the poster. Once staff modifies ANY content, then it surrenders or abandons - knowingly or unknowingly - that protection and becomes fully responsible for posters' content and can be held 100% liable by regulators.

Why not just have MT BOT be the "Posting and post content police"? With that method you, @Jack, retain control as the owner.

-During our analysis, we didn’t notice any fatal bugs. However, it is important to note that our analysis is short and shallow, on one machine. It can not be compared to feedback of multitude of users, some of which have changed already a few machines and have followed Comodo closely. Also, not everyone will configure Comodo the way we have configured it.

Melih once explained Comodo's security approach. But I can't find it anymore. In any case, as has also been written before, they want to use measures to prevent malware from even reaching the PC, not letting it in, and then eliminate it again. Norton uses the same approach: behavioral analysis + script analysis.
I just read a report about victims of cybercrime, just briefly: I wasn't one of them, despite Comodo's inadequate protection across all devices, all Windows versions, and all Comodo versions. Apparently, Melih isn't so wrong with his approach after all.
I hope this thread doesn't get closed, and thanks to @Trident, @Andy Ful, @rashmi, @cruelsister, and a few others.
By the way, I always had the firewall enabled with custom rules in Custom Policies mode and HIPS in Safe Mode with my own additional rules, without becoming a victim of cybercrime.

Please respect Andy Ful's wishes. He's not taking on the role of moderator, but rather trying to steer his thread back on track and save it. I think that's legitimate and welcome it. What's always happened is well known.

When is the Movie available for streaming from this Thread ?

11 pages and counting.......

I hope it turns into 1011 pages.

Which is entirely permitted under current MT rules and Terms of Service, and as long as the size of the data does not affect the performance or administration of the forum IIS, database(s), and backups.

Given the nature of the subject matter, at the 1011 page point only 10% of the relevant topics will have be covered.

@Jack should aggregate Comodo online MT forum/thread posts and publish them as books titled "The Comodo Papers" and "Melih's Fanbois and Fangirlz."

"Chah-ching" at the register for @Jack and other MT site owners. More power to him and them.

All the content at MT belongs to @Jack and whomever remains as additional, silent MT site owner. "Being a Security Enthusiast Forum Owner for Fun and Profit" - surely another best seller.

The most valuable posts which deserve to be published are those on WHHL, HC, and CD threads; they represent a mini-course of cybersecurity basics.

With skillfully asked questions about Comodo, the software owner, and the controversies - AI/LLM will write award-winning replies to the questions.

But people just wont do as you suggest, even the ones that don't think that AI/LMM are The Devil.

@Jack and @Andy Ful should form a partnership to copy right that content.

Best selling security geek and forum drama enthusiast prime reading.

He's not. He just don't care to fix and maintain the software to a level that many people think that he should.

It's his Chia Pet. Let him neglect it as he sees fit. And what other people think is entirely irrelevant.

But we live in the era of social media where everybody has a voice and most are compelled due to no self-control, restraint, common sense, or otherwise to want or need to say what they gotta say - as if any of what they say matters. They can say it, and the rest of us have to endure it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, this is a good finding. You proved that one bug unconfirmed in January 2024 was confirmed in August 2024. It also proves that the Comodo team works on bugs and does not hide bugs. This bug does not happen frequently, but rather on special occasions and depends on some random factors. However, this finding is far from your statement that all (most) old bugs are unfixed.

Yes.

I did not assume this. For me, the number of other bugs fixed and unfixed is open. However, you assumed that all those other bugs are still unfixed, which is a pure speculation.

With utmost respect, you seem not to listen to moderators (this thread is an example).

This is a good point to discuss in another thread. We do not have a good method on MT to discuss hot topics. The posts that contradict the rules are treated here as off-topic. This thread is kinda experimental because other threads failed.

Yes, the rules should be accepted by the staff. It would be good to work on an acceptable ruleset. I do not insist on the correctness of the rules in this thread.

I will not comment on this. You can probably get an answer from the staff. For the record, none of your posts were censored in any way, even if the author of the thread thinks that most of what you posted here is off-topic. Only a few posts of some other member were deleted by the staff on my request (and maybe on the request of others).

Unfortunately, there is a very unpleasant reason for this.
Topic here:

Should Comodo users stop using Comodo?​

For example, enter Bitdefender in the search.
.........................................................................
It's actually true that users, regardless of the product, vent their anger at it if it affects them or doesn't last. I've always read that Comodo is junk, I can't get rid of this stuff.
I've never read that despite Comodo, my identity was stolen, my bank account was emptied, or anything else. Logically, there should be angry Comodo users who have fallen victim to cybercriminals despite Comodo. Someone once complained in the Comodo forum, until I found out that he had downloaded software from a dubious site and installed it as a pirated copy. That was a long time ago.
I was close to switching Comodo, especially due to the discussions here in MT, but this thread and my experience with Comodo, my attitude before reading @cruelsister's, speak a different language than junk, full of bugs, vulnerable to attacks – where have they gone? Trustpilot, for example, should be full of complaints that Comodo has completely let them down.
Isn't that proof enough to the contrary?
I can't contribute any more, so I'll just remain a reader.

I wonder why you have a problem with changing the perspective for a while (even if it looks strange to you) and accepting the rules in this thread?
