Hello,
Why is Comodo not using Minifilters instead of hooks?

Define minifilters as Wikipedia has no such listing.

Why are they important?
What product does use this?

They are important because on x64 windows it is not possible to use hooks to the same extent as on x32, so currently comodo running on x64 windows is not as good as on x32. Minifilters are the standard way of doing things, and allow comodo to perform the same on both architectures. Currently, it is all microsoft products (windows defender, microsoft security essentials) and preview versions of Agnitum and NOD32 products. |

x64 bit is more common now and soon will surpass x32 I think, and John, am sure it was said to be improved and not the same? |

If you would look at the other post on version 5.8 Eggman says version 5.8 64 bit defense is equal to the 32 bit defense.
