A Nice article on PC Magazine about CPF :-)

I have tried all the three products, i.e., the Comodo Antivirus, AntiSpam and Personal Firewall. In a nutshell, I think they are great products, however, I believe there are areas that should be looked into:

A. (In General )speed. Either,  one among the three, or all of them combined, turn the PC they are residing on into a slow crawling tortise, I am talking about a P4 2.6GhzHT system with 1GB RAM running XP Pros; when compared to the same loaded with Avast! 4 pro and sygate

1. Antivirus. It has a huge foot-print, ~ 53MB of RAM when checked using taskmanager, compared with AVG, or Avast, which typically occuppies about 12 - 17MB of RAM. It can be very taxing on performance on a PC with 256MB RAM or lower.

2. AntiSpam. I think it is great but with one big Hiccup: While it send the challenge-e-mail to those apparently spam mails, whose e-mail addresses are usually 99.999% faked… I got bombarded with reply e-mail from servers on "Internet e-mail delivery failure" or "Maildeamon bla bla bla"…, using one of my old spam-ridden e-mail accounts, AntiSpam filtered all 300+ spams coming its way while got it bombarded with 300+ non-delivery notice. Well, talking about being…. Anyway, I think it will be great if user can at least choose not to have challenge-E-mail sent automatically.

3. Personal Firewall.  I think this is the jewel of the three. Highly configurable, flexible, and I think the performance and memory foot-print is good too! Just the kind of thing techie like me is looking for. However… there's where the problem is too… You see, I am the only man (dad) in the house who knows about PC and software, like most typical family..  Compared with Zonealarm and sygate, they need only configure once and the setting applies to all users (power users/limited users/Admin alike) Comodo apparently requires that settings be done for each users when they login! So over the weekend I was bombard so with "Dad! Why this.." "Dad!! What is that!!" "DEAR!! WHAT have you done to the PC it keep asking me…." I have to take down the new firewall and put up the old faithful Sygate (thank goodness I have a back up of the setting!)

I hope you didn't get offended by this feedback, I meant well and really like to see improvement on these products!

Cheers and regards

 The article in PC Magazine about CPF is what introduced me to Comodo.
 Great so far, keep up the good work.

   I read about Comodo at http://answers.yahoo.com  Yahoo Answers, where I go to help people out sometimes.  I'm currently running the Comodo Antivirus Beta, and so far so good.

I am also active in several distributed computing forums, where I will be sure to mention Comodo.

i'm very happy for comodo , after sometimes people say bad things about it , from tests to people even didn't give a try to it . finaly COMODO PERSONAL FIREWALL GET EDITOR'S RATING BETTER THAN ZONEALARM , i'm so surprised to see how those guys of pcmag were happy with it and even gave it higher rating than zonealarm .

and to say the truth , not even comodo get higher rating than zonealarm but also higher than KERIO PERSONAL FIREWALL & also higher than SYGATE , THAT'S SO BIG SOUND THAT COMODO MAY'LL BE THE BEST FREE PERSONAL FIREWALL , " IF NOT ALREADY FROM SUCH BIG MAGAZINE LIKE PCMAG " .

ANYWAY GOOD WORK COMODO , AND THANK U

Hello Hello,

There's a lot of excitement on this forum for comodo security products.  Maybe because it's free because of a cool business motto or model.   I am aware of other company releasing free security software but for different business plan/motto.   I used firewall software since the first release by an isrealli group for networks, etc.   And then norton was one of the early ones with a package firewall for desktop.  But then their live update is wonderfull for corporate users but hell of home use especially when cable internet still needs a call to the cable company to see if they offer it in your home area.  I like comodo because it feels closer to the operating system because of the many events it is able to detect.  Is it just the user interface or is it me?

The reason for this post in this thread is that if comodo achieve success in branding it self and got the majority market share for security products on pc.   Other security software vendor may close its door, layoffs, job cuts, bling-bling version of downsize.   Then congress will step in and says "hey comodo people, are you doing monopoly?".   Does management have a plan or business plan to respond to such a successful future?

In short, how much media exposure is comodo trying to achieve.  IF big-bang happens and lots of corporations sign on with their massive user base, is management ready?    Is tech support ready?
Is developers ready for hackers, newbies, and wannabies? 

Will I still get comodo firewall for free?  promise?
