[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 1056163, member: 7463"] Thanks for the post! I guess I could be considered a FanGirl as I have no affiliation with Comodo, but even so I’m not a dope. Over the years I’ve been involved both with writing malware (with Governmental approval) as well as taking part in Post Motem analysis of Enterprise breaches. And the one thing I’ve learned is that trust in any Anti-Malware product can only be had with prolonged use and aggressive testing. Assuming that a product that worked well last year or has high praise from others is insufficient evidence for me. So ss I use it on my system as the sole anti-malware application, I am compelled to constantly attempt to breach it with in the Wild stuff as well as things coded by my nasty cat Ophelia. To date there has been no joy as CF continues to yawn at every attempted attack (The issue that the poster had on Comodo Forums about a potential bypass prompted this video; it was resolved easily enough by a user not turning off protection that is enabled by default). I certainly have not had such an experience with tradition AV’s, any HIPS, or a combination of the two- bypassing such is barely an inconvenience. Over the years it became clear that Containment is the way to go- although something like Sandboxie, which has a superb sandbox, is limited in that it is really on-demand for certain things some of the time while in contrast, the Comodo Sandbox (Containment) is on access which suits a preoccupied click happy person like myself. The elegance of the CF package (Sandbox, FW, Script Analysis. File Rating) is such that things like Worms, Scriptors, Ransomware, or whatever present no issue. Even legitimately signed AND counter signed file are no viewed as benign until Comodo rates them as such. But the one thing that saddens me is that Comodo for some reason attracts Trolls in abundance. Just like Climate Change and COVID, repeating the unsubstantiated over and over makes it true for those not truly informed. Perhaps that’s why I have a million (or so) Comodo videos on my channel. The truth sets one free (and safe from malware). (was this a rant? Apologies in advance if it was…) [/QUOTE]
