How can DiskShield be integrated into CFP v3 to offer what functionality?

In my opinion, no need to integrate Disk Shield into CFP. Keep them separate so that users can have option to use other software similar to Disk Shield. However Sandbox is a good idea indeed.

Disk Shield might be integrated into a toatl security suite if there is any.

even if DiskShield was integrated into CFP it would be optional during installation just like D+ and Safesurf are.

Melih has always said that the products will be available as both an integrated suite and individual modules,which will please everyone.Some people like the idea of everything under one umbrella while others like to mix and match.

I must say though that a full Comodo suite with AV,Firewall,Diskshield + or sandbox,CMF and BOclean will be a very comprehensive package and I'm sure it'll have a few of the commercial vendors of 'internet security' products in a sweat.

Integrating this to CFP v3. Would be awsome   Atleast for schools, internett cafè's and people with pc's often/sometimes used by others. But I also agree there should be an option to install it or not.

the most of the things COMODO will offer must be either modular or optional....that is far more sensible than the pushy stuff other vendors do....

Guess so. A modular installer would be nice too...

For updates for anti spyware and anti virus programs maybe have an excluding option. Like for example "Make all updates for your AV allowed* So when your anti virus, spyware or what ever program you allow to have updates for will be permanent while all other changes will be discarded.

Yes, the way the Windows Live Messenger installer works would be absolutely perfect for Comodo.  You download the small installer and when you open it up it downloads and installs options as you check them.  So if you were to open the installer and check CPF, it would instantly start downloading and installing it in the background while you decided what else you wanted to install.

No way!!!

It's terrible for dial up internet, like mine.

I prefer a big setup that I can download from anywhere than a small one that download what I choose (CPF, CAVS, CDS, CDE, CMF, CBOClean...) with 50,6 kbps!!!

Get faster internet!!!

Even for people with slow connections there could be two downloading options

I'm not so sure about these on-line installers. Sure they can save some time by not downloading things you're not intended to install anyway, but from my personal experience I have to say that these on-line installers often DO NOT work as they are supposted to. I recall that many of these online installers refuse to work on my computer claiming that there is SOME error and installer needs to exit, BUT off-line installer of the same software (exactly the same version) worked flawlessly. So if Comodo chose to provide on-line installer for they products, they definitelly should provide off-line installer as well.

Would it be possible/feasible to use a form of CDS combined with Threatcast and OTHER to create a sort of virtualized installation specific sandbox?

My thinking what sometimes people download an app and install it, only to find out after the fact that it's bad.

If the installation could be done in a virtual environment and the installation process analyzed, the user could then be presented with the option to commit the changes if they are found to be OK or warned about what the app was trying to do.

This, IMHO, would help keep users safe and also help build Threatcast and build TBA technologies.

What think?
Ewen :-)

You mean an application virtualisation on the lines of Altiris svs ? Except that with Altiris the installation can't be un-virtualised.

Sort of.

Altiris is designed for the ongoing usage of an app. My intention was to virtualize only the installation process so the app and its install methods could be analyzed and verified (using several TBA methods).

If there was malware found or suspicious activity occuring during the virtualized install, the user could be advised and the results can be added to Comodo's DB of bad guys. If, OTH, the install was OK, the user would be presented with that info and offered the option of making the install permanent, where it would somehow be de-virtualized and committed to the physical disks.

Thereafter it could be virtualized using Altiris or similar or just run as a normal app.

My intent was to ensure that software installs aren't introducing garbage that we would just have to clean out later.

I like this idea.. its a great usage scenerio for CDS..
