I been sitting reading through so many posts to see if I found a answer BEFORE I come with the following 2 questions (or maybe it even can be called WISHES);

How would it be with a "Micorsoft Office" plugin in CAVS?? As you probably all know this is something offered in almost ALL the AV´s that is on the marked today but I cant say I have seen it in CAV right???

Second; I know that the "creators" has been taking away the Launch Pad because so many users wished for this...... but to be honest why dont you run a Poll again for seeing what people say now after a while with testing the CAV WITHOUT the Launch Pad??

Like I have expressed before, I cant believe that anyone would see anything else than GOOD and INTELLIGENT with a solution with the Launch Pad, like we see with all the serious Security program packages on the marked today, this is a solution for those of us who wants to use more than ONE program from the same company without having to see 3-4-5 icons in the taskbar right?

What is the problem having a option in the installation for YES or NO to install Launch Pad???

Is this something that you still have under consideration or is it totally "out of the world" now???


To short my wishes down;
1.Microsoft Office Plugin (scanning office documents when opened)
2.Microsoft MSN Messenger Plugin
3.Webmail plugin
4.Getting back the launch pad
5.And YES, like many before me have said; being able to DISABLE Hips with the installation
6.Vista compatibility

Hey Team

I STILL say Comodo Beta 9.30 rocks. Brontok virus infection is now a thing of the PAST

I have picked up a minor bug in the 11.43 update (maybe was there before?) .. In the Run Updater menu option, if the virus database is updating it shows 'This process may take few minutes' should read as 'This process may take a few minutes' - small issue - i know :-x but then we like Comodo perfect!!

I installed Beta 9.30 on a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server with SP1 and all the current patches available (ie7 WMP11 included). I ignored the warning about only wanting XP etc. The app installed successfully and then promptly took 17 minutes after the reboot to display the logon screen. After login - it again too 7 minutes before the menu bar could be accessed. I managed to unistall by logging in 'safe mode'. I then loaded 1.1 and experienced the same problem. This confused me since I am running 1.1 on my MS 2003 MAPS Server with the same set of patches. Now I'm wary to try running it on the client server again.

Another smallish bug is that the HIPS pops up with the 'Send to Comodo' ticked on every time - even when disabled in the HIPS settings - and the 'Remember this action' always off. This is irritating when catching a virus and you know you don't want to send the file and you want to remember the action of BLOCK. Maybe a tick box (as in the HIPS settings) but that actually has an effect that is set once.

So... The wishlist asks for:
1. A server version
2. A Server / Client method that allows for central configuration and central database update with client configured to receive updates from local server
3. A password protected client (user customizable at what level - off, Settings, Everything) that allows sysadmins to prevent the possibility of the user changing things with out a valid password.
4. A client that runs on Vista
5. A HIPS 'Remember this Action' that can be remebered on/off with a global setting
6. A HIPS 'Send to Comodo' that can be remebered with a global setting

Then I have another request regarding the e-mail scanner. In South Africa we are still using OLD dial-up telephone with Modem. Usually connection is only 16-31Kbps. As a result, often I have to turn off the scan because a 1Mb file times-out during the retreive. (Usually without the 'wait another 60 seconds' option). Would it be possible to add a configuration setting that allows to enable scan AFTER email is completely retreived without in-line scan (as a file). The same with outgoing mail. Scan the whole mail (as a afile) BEFORE sending it out?

Then a quick question. I installed 9.30. Did a update that was 9.4Mb large. The version shows base 9.30 and update 11.43. Does this mean I don't have to download the whole app again (I think so) because it updated automatically to the latest? Also what would have happened if i lost my internet connection while the update download was in progress. Would it restart every time, or continue from where the connection broke?

Well that's all for now. Keep up the good work. All the best.

Hello!


I would like to have a graphic window similar this attachment what shows the antivirus activities in green lines.

Wish for portable definitions.
When we install on a new machine, we can just point the AV to the definitions.

BOClean has this feature.

I would like to request detection for unknown email viruses for Comodo Anti-VirusSpyware please.

Hi,

I think it would be good if you had the option to scan files that are in quarantine.  This would be useful in cases such as you suspect it may be a false positive, you've submitted the file and want to check the file again to confirm it is a virus.

Also, when a virus is found it would be good if CAVS gave a sound alert.  This may be useful if a user is away from the computer to alert them to the infection.  It would be good if these sounds could also be changed by the user.

I keep thinking it would be good to have the more "standard" first and second actions to take when a virus is found (for both on-demand and on-access)... clean, quarantine, delete, prompt for action.

How about some command line parameters that will produce a report.txt after each and every download scan that is based/named on the file name that was downloaded.

Right now I can produce a single .txt file which is over written when the next download takes place. This would be a record that a scan took place and (if opened) will tell somebody what the results of the scan was:  Good/Okay  or  Virus!!/bad.

I have reservations about the overall success of the HIPS scans and a central database to refer back against. For each Checksum change a new upload will take place. How many millions of programs and tidbits of information can Comodo process and have something useful?

SpywareTerminator is very unobtrusive and virtually hindrance free. I thought HIPS from COMODO was going to burn up my processor before the program was finally setup in a manner that only sent selected folders and not my whole damn hard drive.

I'd like to see the safelist creator (UPSDbMaker.exe) functionality be added as a button on the main interface (even in the HIPS settings section), so i don't have to run the .exe manually.
I was trying to find out how to run the safelist creator after installation (as I did not create the DB on installation) and i had to search the board to find out how. Not everyone who uses the product will do that.

Thanx!

I think HIPS should have option to trust applications digitally signed by given company ;]
I've got about 8782 files at submit queue and almost all of them are signed by Microsoft 
...COMONDO Antivirus Submit says it can not connect to server ;]

I have another wish that would help a LOT regarding a BIG problem I have had the last days.
We have installed Comodo AV in a lot of internet cafe`s and for security reasons/conflicts we have disabled the HIPS function........, but the users of the computers....... can of course just enable HIPS control themself, which have made a lot of problems for us.
This could be solved with the function that now MOSTLY of the antivirus program offer;
PASSWORD PROTECTION FOR SETTINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Request:

1. Scheduled Scan to run regardless of who is logged in (fast user switching) and the option to go along with that whether the computer should be brought out of standby/locked/etc.

2. Support for multiple users. (This might solve no. 1) e.g. To be logged in with one user and still have the CAVS icon show in taskbar on another user and to be able to run scans etc. or otherwise use the CAVS GUI for the main program.

Hi,

The CAVS will be made suitable for fast use switchin soon.  The team were focusing on some important bugs and development in the software first, before focusing on this.  It is scheduled to be completed soon.

Improvement of safelist

As I installed The GIMP now ( http://www.gimp.org/ ), none of the exe-files seemed to be in the Comodo safelist. That's alright if you just execute a couple of files, but the GIMP wanted to execute A LOT of files, perhaps 50 files or so. Then I had to allow every single file for CAVS. (also sent them to Comodo so you can add them in the safelist)

Here's my suggestion: Make it possible in the CAVS GUI (or in a context menu) to add all files of a folder to the safelist! With that feature, you can just rightclick a folder of a newly installed program, and automatically add all files to the safelist. I'm aware of the fact that a little risk may occur here, if a "bad file" happen to be in the folder, but it would still be a useful feature for some purposes - e.g. when executing the GIMP for the first time so you don't have to allow about 50 files to execute...

Thanks Comodo.
