Safe Surf only protects your browser from BO attacks where as MF protects your whole pc.

I think they both protect all of the PC, just SafeSurf is newer, installs with CIS, and has an unnecessary browser toolbar.

Safesurf only protects ur pc when your internet browser is open, cmf protects you all the time!

Looking forward to this release, ive missed threatcast quite a lot since the .327 beta last year!

Check this out:

the safesurf BO checks for BO within the browser (a good chunk of the attacks). CMF on the hand however checks "any" BO on the computer. For example, there could be some other app like an IM client etc which has a BO vulnerability that could be exploited. Because CMF is system wide it will catch any. Safesurf is limited to the browser based ones.

reason why we did that is because cmf code is quite complicated. As you might be aware, we dont put products into general release until we are happy with them. I think CMF will be a full product very soon though..

Indeed this is the correct answer..

Indeed this is the correct answer..and that is why we are putting whole of memory firewall into CIS in the next release.

When the new CIS is out of beta and pushed out automatically, I guess you'll have to uninstall Memory Firewall in case you have it parallel with today's CIS?

I'm very excited to see how you put all this new stuff in CIS. Will there still be just cmdagent.exe and cfp.exe?

[LeoniAquila]

Let's hope those will be the only 2 processes and still use the same amount of resources.

I guess the new signature format will help.

What is the engineer behind the new signature format? Will it reduce entries to the database? How will it make the scanning faster and more efficient??

Iam shocked, Lucky me that has been using CMF.
Anyway, this whole protection will come as an automatic update I guess?

I assume they will come out as BETA's first.. So you will have to uninstall\install manually. Or wait for an official release..

Melih, are Comodo servers prepared for us, forum users, downloading the beta?  hehe

Is there an email sign up that will inform us when the beta will be ready for testing and download?

I don't think Comodo currently has a newsletter or product notice....when you sign up for emails from Comodo when you are installing, you just get ads.
