Discussion about reduction in size of AV database

While I agree that the database needs to be reduced in size, it’s not really what is in the database that matters. All the major AV vendors will be more or less equally up to date on detection of known malware. It’s the new , unknown as yet, stuff that you really need to worry about and Comodo will stop nearly all of that in it’s tracks. More than any other product that I know of.

It would be nice for comodo to have a more generic database soon. It would make the DB smaller which would satisfy several users.

I fixed your quote.Eric

A smaller database will also help to lessen system load.

haii,
now cis virus data base signature is 146 mb which is too big now for slow net connection users. please try to do something. :embarassed:

if it continues and increase the data base signature file (which is 146 mb now) then one day will come when most of the users will stop to using cis. :cry: :-TD

Why stop using CIS? You could just uninstall the anti-virus part but keep the rest.

i just like to use their entire cis.

;D … 55 M users ? How many of them even know that CIS has 19 M sign ? Please do make sense to your sentence. Maybe you and 2/3 ppl will stop using AV part but not “most of the users”.

only time will tell us that how many will use it (antivirus part only due to too big data base file) and how many will not use it. i think you don’t have slow net connection.people with slow net connection will understand it.

It’s now back to the BIG 20 again, it seem Comodo may have remove a lot FP from their database when they’ve drop the BIG 20 down any between database version 16414 to 16418.

Yeah baby finally :-TU

WOW! It been growing pretty quick better do something asap changing over to generic signature database soon, otherwise they might find themselves turning into a large file into a huge nightmare. I think it time that Melih should do something about this right now rather then sooner or later.
