Should Comodo users stop using Comodo?

[simmerskool]

@simmerskool it was Nikola Milanovic.

well I saw that user_name Nikola Milanovic posted that he was comodo staff, I did not believe it either way (other than I see what is posted over time -- my internal evaluation do I listen to this poster, or not?) and then user new member said that NM was not comodo staff -- I did not believe that either way either. I appreciated that @Andy Ful wanted clearer evidence for more extreme statements.

Ah, but you have, you’ve sparked more than one crusade against others over similar topics, creating division and unrest, much like what’s happening in this thread. You seem to believe your posts are beyond reproach, yet I’ve seen you deliberately derail discussions and fuel division before.

@Divergent xref @Andy Ful -- agree to disagree...

No one should be above the rules or allowed to treat other members unfairly.

If you all really want something to talk about, this should spark lively debate for another 22 pages on that thread is that I actually got a reply back on the forum from F-Secure. Take that, Comodo thread

New Update Post in thread 'F-Secure beta version updates'

They did respond Here is the quote from this post by Ville, who does a nice job on the forum, regarding the Firewall sensor

We don't want to reveal exact mechanics of the protection to keep it harder for malicious actors to investigate them. It increases the accuracy of real-time protection by monitoring network requests.

This was already enabled in 25.2 but caused problems like bluescreens and DNS issues and was subsequently disabled in 25.6 (listed in 25.6 release notes in bug fixes). It is now fixed and re-enabled but we added a separate setting in case...

Sorry, I just thought this thread could use a little levity

@Divergent,

If you feel that I did something wrong, report it to the staff. Your constant complaining in this thread is off topic. Furthermore, you cannot be a judge here.

It’s not off-topic if it relates directly to the thread you created and the discussion you’ve been having. The behavior I mentioned is relevant to this. Reporting you in the past hasn’t resolved anything, has it?

I’m not the one who created a thread with its own rules and acted as though I were the judge and jury.

My last post and it will say it all.

Andy Ful Declares Victory, Again!

In an unsurprising yet spectacular turn of events, forum regular Andy Ful has once more claimed the final word on the ongoing Comodo debate thread. The discussion, originally intended to weigh pros and cons of antivirus products, quickly devolved into a showcase of Andy’s signature moves, twisting words, deflecting criticism, and elevating ego to an art form.

Sources report that Andy arrived fashionably late, read every counterpoint, and then unleashed his closing remarks with theatrical flair. “Clearly, you all misunderstand the nuance,” he declared, before subtly reinterpreting every argument against Comodo as a misinformed opinion. By nightfall, the forum had grown quiet, except for Andy’s triumphant post, which some eyewitnesses claim “glowed with the sheer force of self-importance.”

Experts warn that debating Andy Ful carries inherent risks, your well-reasoned posts may be reframed as ignorance, your evidence dismissed as irrelevant, and your last word… well, that’s simply impossible. Andy always posts last. Always.

In unrelated news, Comodo fans and haters alike have reportedly stopped trying to reason with him, opting instead to enjoy the spectacle of his nightly victory lap, a display of ego, wordplay, and unchallenged finality.

Stay tuned, tomorrow, Andy Ful is expected to post again. And yes, he will have the last word.

The thread isn’t the issue, and neither is Comodo. The real problem lies in user intent and behavior. Yet, when you call that out, you’re met with criticism and labeled as the problem yourself, a classic case of deflection that’s been evident throughout this entire discussion.

These bugs will never - EVER - be fixed because they require a source code re-write.

I'm curious what's your statement based on? What is completely wrong with HIPS that require complete rewrite?

well I saw that user_name Nikola Milanovic posted that he was comodo staff, I did not believe it either way (other than I see what is posted over time -- my internal evaluation do I listen to this poster, or not?) and then user new member said that NM was not comodo staff -- I did not believe that either way either. I appreciated that @Andy Ful wanted clearer evidence for more extreme statements.

I understand your doubts given that I registered two days ago but I'm here not to prove anything
Administrator could verify if I'm an actual employee based on email address this account was created with.

If anyone has something important to say, it is the right time. This thread may be closed soon.
All the critics were noted.

I keep my distance (and recommend the same) - from vulnerable software...

Comodo Internet Security 2025 Vulnerabilities Execute Remote Code With SYSTEM Privilege

Multiple critical vulnerabilities in Comodo Internet Security Premium 2025 that allow attackers to execute remote code with SYSTEM privileges.

Even more so - if it has a cult like following (using it for so long - that it became a part of their identity - and any debate or counter-argument against said software - is regarded as an attack on their virtual identity).

Hello everyone,

Whenever Comodo is mentioned on MalwareTips, the threads almost always turn into heated debates. Along with the very interesting discussions, we get:

• A large number of reports
• Angry members on both sides
• Requests to delete or censor posts
• Requests for staff intervention
• And sometimes even bad language or personal attacks

This puts staff in a difficult position: if we step in too much, people accuse us of censorship; if we don’t, members complain that things are out of control.


So, here’s a simple question to the...

There is a proposition to settle the thread:
https://malwaretips.com/threads/should-comodo-users-stop-using-comodo.137607/post-1147945

You can also read my opinion:
https://malwaretips.com/threads/should-comodo-users-stop-using-comodo.137607/post-1147381

There is no choice between Comodo with some known vulnerabilities vs. Comodo with patched vulnerabilities (the choice would be obvious).
The choice is Comodo with slowly patched vulnerabilities (no reported exploits in the wild for all Comodo history) vs. Home AVs with reported exploits in the wild and FUD problem. There is no simple choice.

This thread is a dangerous experiment, it creates highly explosive content...

There is no such thing as "explosive content."

It's just content, whether one agrees or disagrees with it.

Anybody that permits something online to upset them, then they are the problem - and not the content.

When I was bullied as a young tot, my parents did not teach me to "Fight back and clobber your tormenters." They taught me "Ignore them and they'll go away." Which is what I did, and my parents were proven correct.

Anybody that commits suicide because of anything whatsoever - especially anything posted online - is messed up. No medical professional alive who adheres to the codes of professional conduct will ever state "That person was justified for blowing their brains out because they were bullied online or because something was posted that upset them."

It blows my mind that the majority of people take ANY online content seriously. So seriously that they get triggered and behave in ways that are ridiculous, especially the part where they want to blame the content poster.

"Sticks and stones might break my bones, but words will never hurt me."

Evidently, the vast majority of the world's population either never understood this truism, never possessed the skills to make it true for them, or are pathologically sensitive with virtually no coping skills.

I understand your point, but it might be more consistent to ask all users whose posts aren’t directly related to the thread to move them, rather than singling me out. My post concerns your conduct in this thread, which I believe is on-topic.

That’s not my call to make, you said yourself it’s your thread.

 

[outlawxtorn]

It’s not about trying to one-up anyone, it’s about maintaining a fair and balanced environment here. No one should be above the rules or allowed to treat other members unfairly. I also haven’t noticed you participating in these discussions before, so I’m curious, what sparked your sudden interest?

I'm not very knowledgeable about Comodo, so I read through this thread to learn. I can say I did not learn anything from your AI posts. You also played the victim throughout this entire thread. I also can't think of a single forum member that would take Divergent's word over Andy's. That's all I'm going to say because there's this awesome ignore function I'm going to put to good use. Thank you to those who posted useful information.
