Değerli Melih Abdulhayaloğlu,

Haberlerini hergün okuyoruz,senin çalışmalarını takip ediyoruz.Bilgisayar mühendisliğinde okuyan bir kardeşin olarak gurur ve onur duyuyorum.Sevgili Aaron'un da bana verdiği bilgiler ve destek ışığında bende comodo reseller olmaya karar verdim...
Biliyorsun ki Türkiyede yazılım satmak riskli ve bir o kadar da zor bir iştir.Comodo yolun başında olmasına karşın, şu anda çok iyi bir yerde.Ve umarım, Comodo büyüdükçe bizde büyüyeceğiz.

Saygılarımla,

Emin Özgünüsür

I am a senior with limited financial means and I am very grateful to be able to access your software. With the exchange rate difference its really expensive for me to buy software that is costed with American currency. I am very happy so far with the products I have downloaded.

Thank you your efforts are greatly appreciated by this Grandmother.

Merhaba Melih,

I just watched your Fox News TV interview so I feel now like I know who you are.  I recently switched to CIS from Avast for home use.  I like CIS.  It found and removed a Trojan that Avast was not finding.  It cleared up some of the errors I was getting on shudown with Windows XP.  Now we need to convince Andreas Clement of www.av-comparatives.org that CIS is good enough to be added to the list of AV products he regularly tests and reviews.

I learned about your company based on a link regarding secure email that I found on the Microsoft website.  I needed to send some personal documents to a brokerage company and wanted a greater degree of confidence that those documents would be secure.  I am a sales professional who took the time to get both Novell and Microsoft certified.  I have been to many MS Exchange conferences including the very first one in Austin, TX.  Every time I sat in a session regarding email and network security, I felt overwhemed by the seeming complexity and "techno speak".  That is why I love your Secure Email product.  I love it some much I have engaged in a dialogue with the CEO of one of the leading on-line brokerage firms regarding Comodo secure email.  He showed some genuine interest.

Thank you very much for your interest and support. Glad to have you with us. Our goal is to create trusted internet and without security its not atteinable task. Hence we are pushing both and making sure security is a right and not a luxury.

Please feel free to browse the forums ask questions and engage with people here. You will see that they are knowledgable, helpful and darn nice people who are eager to help eachother.

Welcome again!

I am impressed with your prompt reply, Melih.

I do have some questions and will seek out the answers in the forums.

Did you notice my comment about Comodo AV not being reviewed on http://www.av-comparatives.org ?

When I wrote Andreas Clement to ask about why Comodo Antivirus is not on the list of AV products being regularly tested he wrote back that "it is not good enough yet to make the list".  Does that surprise you?  Why is it not good enough?  I don't think it has anything to do with financial support of his website.  That is why I like that website because it is run by a man who is apparently well educated (I believe Andreas has a doctorate), it claims to be independent, I see no advertising, the site comes across more academic than most of the crassly commercial AV review sites, and the viewer can examine a detailed analytical methodology that is used for the review process.

Is your organization working with Andreas to see it you can make the list?  The site seems to be prospering so I think it is quite influential around the world.

That has been discussed in the forum and now there is a new organisation called AMTSO.org

You can take a look at the forum to find these discussions but here are some excerpts from AMTSO website

"As anti-malware solutions become more complex, many existing tests are unable to evaluate product effectiveness properly, resulting in product reviews that are sometimes incomplete, inaccurate and misleading. The adoption of standards and guidelines is the first stage in an initiative in which members of the industry are collaborating with testers, reviewers and the media in the production of advice that will help customers make better-informed buying decisions"

AV comparitives are also part of this organisation.

We do NOT believe, like AMTSO, the current tests can show how current Anti Malware products can "protect" the user.  The threat model has changed, the way we defend ourselves have changed. A very good example was a recent Confiker virus. While people who got 99% ratio from AVComparitives failed to prevent Confiker until they rushed and created the signatures and update their users, Comodo prevented, hence Protected, their users from Day Zero against Confiker!

So we wholeheartedly agree with AMTSO's above statement. Afterall what matters is how "protected" the user is and current testing methods fail, miserably I am afraid, to show that.

Well said. Maybe unfortunately this is true. Lot's of vendors did say "you are well protected with our product" but none of that was true. There were lot's of people infected. CIS indeed did a great job and without a glitch

Hi Melih,
Sorry to be a nuisance and ask, but as a Comodo 'newby' I hope you don't mind my querying the fact of a Comodo Update appearing on what is, for much of the world, a public holiday.
The reason for the question?
With all the bad news regarding virus outbreaks and 'themed' attacks it just seemed strange for an update to appear and I had the thought 'What if?'.
Thank you all for a brilliant program, it beats my old security to the ground.
