How would you rate COMODO Internet Security? and what to improve? [CLOSED]

I like its low resources requirements and much less pop-ups compares with previous versions.
On the other hand, I hope it will have less FP and further expansion in the signiture database.

I would give comodo firewall pro a five, best ever. I would give anti virus a 3.5 however, i use avast home because comodo anti virus doesn't seem to have great detection. it is very good still though, not saying it is bad. i think we can improve on the features. maybe add some stuff.

are we looking at CIS 4.0?? just wondering. 3.8 is fantastic ty for the release!

The detection rate is increasing everyday. They usually add about 12,000 malware signatures a day. And Defense+ is better than any AV, if you know how to use it 

are we looking at CIS 4.0?? just wondering.

Sounds good, eh?

Yes, yes it is

I want more advanced options in the popups more than anything.  Like some registry settings (Policy/TrustedPeople or whatever) tend to cause multiple repeated popups.  Ideally for registry and folder type warnings, you could choose a parent key (perhaps several levels up) and allow that app access to everything under that reg recursively.  With folders it would be 'allow this app access to [choose a parent folder] and all subfolders.

In particular one app I use is Flex Builder, which uses eclipse that for some retarded reasons like to try to create a 'writeablearea#####.dll' each time it starts in the Programs folder to see if it is locked or not. Even tho it is dumb of eclipse/FB, it would be nice if there was a way to allow this always.

Also, some kind of search filter is an ABSOLUTE requirement on the Computer Policy dialogs and similar dialog.  Trying to find one application in a list of 200 is painful.

Fix the grid stretching so it works properly, adding a horizontal scroll bar if you want the fields to be larger.

Direct link from Firewall events to the rule that cause the event to appear there, so you could adjust if necessary.

Easy to access Post filter list for you to review all allows/blocks and change the setting if it was in error. 

domain name listing/WHois lookup for all IP addresses (optional).

Full path listing of all DLL/EXE in popups, along with easy links to search engine for the name of the dll/exe.

Hmm that would go a long way.

Comodo Inetrnet Security 3.8.64739.471


As you know I have been following the advancement of Comodo Internet Security now up to version 3.8.64739.471 here are my latest findings on detection.

http://computersplushome.forummotion.com/comodo-internet-security-f2/new-comodo-internet-security-beta-released-t95.htm


My 539 malware sample test CD was used and a right click on demand scan was performed this was with signature database 995 also tested with database 997 with same results.




Rootkit Detection: 3 of 5 samples found
Backdoor Detection: 24 of 24 samples found
Exploit Detection: 29 of 30 samples found
Flooder Detection: 29 of 30 samples found
IM Worm Detection: 28 of 29 samples found
IRC Worm Detection: 16 of 28 samples found
Nuker Detection: 29 of 29 samples found
P2P Worm Detection: 29 of 33 samples found
Packer Detection: 16 of 16 samples found
Trojan Clicker Detection: 28 of 30 samples found
Trojan Clicker Qhost Detection: 5 of 5 samples found
Macro Detection: 2 of 2 samples found
Spoofer Detection: 5 of 5 samples found
Spam Tool Detection: 18 of 19 samples found
Trojan Downloader Detection: 58 of 62 samples found
Trojan Dropper Detection: 43 of 44 samples found
Trojan IM Detection: 26 of 26 samples found
Virus Detection: 78 of 79 samples found
Worm Detection: 41 of 43 samples found

Total samples found 507
Total samples missed 32

on my last test Comodo had missed 73 samples so things are improving it's now at a 94.06% detection rate and at idle it was using about 8mb of ram not bad not bad at all keep it up Comodo!

Did you try executing any of the missed files to see if they'd be flagged up as malicious?
