Neat tool - no crashes so far.
+1.  No crash = Smiley user

I'd like to see the vulnerability rating shown on the main screen.

I think I have several false positives.  See attached photo.

1.  Windows media player - I have v-11 not 10
2.  Two instances of Java runtime - I have the latest according to java update.  I know LA said there was 1.6.0.6   but I coudn't find it.
3.  I have IE-7 not 6
4.  I have the update already that is recommended for IE7 - KB928090
5.  I have Net framework 1.1 and its SP1 and updates.

The solution for Net Framework 1.1 is referring to a website for Windows XP, while I'm running Vista.

The installer gave a warning that the .exe is not compatible with the Windows version I'm running.

Also, I'm still running Office 2003.... the updater brings me to a website which promotes Office 2007.... Smiley

Otherwise, nice piece of software!

Great News! I'll have to install it when I get home later. I've been looking for just such a program ever since I had issues with BigFix a couple of years ago.

2.  Two instances of Java runtime - I have the latest according to java update.  I know LA said there was 1.6.0.6   but I coudn't find it.

They seem to be slow at java.com, you can find it here: http://filehippo.com/download_java_runtime/

1.6.0.6 is there, I have installed it since.   As usual I had to uninstall 1.6.0.5 which is a nuisance and waste of time.

I do not use internet explorer usually, but I too have 7 rather than 6, I guess 6 left traces behind when I upgraded to 7.  Sad

Thank you very much for testing the product.

We will try to take care of all FPs mentioned here. This is our first priority.

In response to coltrane's following remarks:

Quote
BTW, when I click Java vulnerability it shows 14 different warnings, first 03 october 2007 . Is that history information of the Java runtime? Because I think 1.6.0.5 is newer than that.

Seems we got it wrong in vulnerability description, it seems to be related to older JRE version. Would be fixed in next update.

Quote
And what about the updates? Will the database of the vulnerabilities be updated automatically or only the CVA updates when updates option is selected in Settings tab?

Let me give an insight into functioning of it. We have a thin DB on client and before scanning starts we make sure it matches with DB on the server. So anytime you scan you have the latest from comodo.
Whenever you click on 'Start' button you would have seen an update dialog spalshing up, this makes sure that CVA is using latest database. This is diferent than one availale under 'Miscellaneous --> Update', which is solely for program updates not for database updates.

In response to Soyabeaner's following remark:

Quote
I wonder why there are 2 instances of my Windows Media Player 10 (one in C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player and the other in C:\WINDOWS\RegisteredPackages\{DD90D410-1823-43EB-9A16-A2331BF08799}).

This will be taken care in next version.


Quote
There's no close button for the info screen, just the X at the top-right corner.

This too will be taken care in next version.

In response to panic's following remark:

I'd like to see the vulnerability rating shown on the main screen.


Yes, do agree with you here, that details are hidden as of now and they should be as visible as possible. We do have plans to make it more visible, when you click the application, it should be right there. So we have it in our task list.

I will update here when i get FPs fixed. So you can re-run scanner and see the results.

Thanks

It's an annoyance with the Java runtime that the earlier versions have to be removed manually when updating. Many people don't realise this and they take up a fair chunk of disk space. Angry

Back to the product though it's another nice addition to the Comodo set,well done!  Cheers

Great tool so far.. it warned me about updates to thunderbird, pidgin, adobe flash, and probably one other that I had no idea about. It also warned me about crap for MS products like Excel, Word, Office as a whole which probably needed updating so I ran auto updates. Will see if that takes care of the warnings. I didn't have the IE6/IE7 problem but I am suffering from the two instances of Java as well. Also told me about .net framework 1 vulnerability when the service pack was already installed like others.

*Edit* Rescanned, now I have two versions of I.E.7, Adobe Flash is still there even though I can confirm it was updated, Powerpoint is new to the list even though I just ran Auto Update so I'll have to check on that, and .net is still plaguing me.

One thing I'd like to see added are updates for GTK+ runtime which is required to run Pidgin. Pidgin warned me about it during install so I could update but this might be handy in the future if it could be worked out.

Also wondering if Skype could be added/updated to the list you have. Sorry, I don't quite know how these things work yet. I know Skype did just get updated (as in today) so I wouldn't expect you to have it now, but in case its not on the list.


Overall I love it!

Dave

Completely off topic, but there is an alternative to manual removal:

I think I found another false positive: XNView 1.93.4.
That is installed and it is the latest version.
