I'd like to help! Volunteering to help start 'safe program' user database

[Guest]

Hey,

Comodo, while an excellent firewall, tends to pop up too much and doesn't seem to have an extensive 'safe program' list. Manually adding the rules every time is tedious, so I thought of an idea..

Why not have an optional pro-user driven database of safe and unsafe programs with descriptions of the programs in the database?

For example..

Alert: firefox.exe is trying to access the internet
User database threat rating:none
User database description:firefox.exe belongs to Mozilla Firefox, a web browser.

You could allow people to modify their personal databases, or opt out of it entirely (for coorperations who don't want it) as well as pick and choose from a list of known programs.

Thanks for listening/reading! If anything's vague, tell me and I'll clarify!

Hi Wolvenmoon,

The best thing you can do is "Submitt" your Pending Files to comodo after clicking on "Lookup" Comodo has it's own team of experts who add items to the safelist after extensive file analysis and testing.

I being in the UK don't work directly with the Comodo Team but I can pass your message onwards to them.

Threatcast is just what you need.
