Hi melih:
Did you receive my pm message? Just want to make sure you got it and if you do not mind me asking how long will it take to get CIS complete full 1 year offer? Thanks in advance.

Well, what I’m doing is referring everybody I know to use COMODO 
Most people I’ve talked to about COMODO already told me they’re familiar with COMODO’s unrivalled Firewall
It’s the first option whenever I talk about security with anybody.
I still don’t understand why people use overexpensive and bloating software like Symantec and other stuff, while COMODO is a proven leader in security. Most of all, it reminds me of the philosophy of Ubuntu, the Linux distribution, “Humanity to others”, the best, free and safe products for all to use.
Speaking of Ubuntu, can we expect a Linux distribution of COMODO? I know Linux is perhaps the most secure system in the world, but still. I’d appreciate a Linux distribution myself, as I’m very fond of Linux.
Why I am still using XP is solely because of business reasons and a few apps I consider vital not working properly under emulated Windows environment on Ubuntu. But if it was non-business related, I’d not touch Microsoft products anymore.
No Offense against anybody…
But the main reason why most of the people/users don’t use COMODO because of false +ve, and low detection rate. They know COMODO because of its top notch firewall…Even in India i have heard many that they use COMODO firewall but with Different AV. When i ask why, then they told me that they don’t rely on Comodo’s AV.
I wasn’t talking about the AV, but mainly the Firewall Everybody knows the AV still needs to descend. But the firewall is a true giant in the field.
Even I’m using Avira instead of CAV, but not because of its low detection rates. To be honest, I consider the AV good enough, when I compared it to Avira e.g. it found all that Avira found, the same detection rate on my PC, sometimes even better.
The reason why I’m not using CAV is because of those updates and stuff, and cmdagent.exe, though also a component of the Firewall, but when used with the AV it froze my computer a lot.
Agree with you…BTW thanks for clearing up things.
Its a new paradigm shift and the word has to get out about how to protect yourself properly. People relying on AV to protect themselves are in need of education

we should educate everyone on computer security…
They don’t realize today they are letting “unknown” executables run wild in their Computers…They have the right to know!

Hi Melih
Do you think this is true of internet security packages in general? In the UK, I would say the main three are Kaspersky, Norton and McAfee (those pre-installed on new computers or available in shops). Are these packages not up to the job or are you referring to AV technology only?
I totally agree with you Melih.
But you know what, even i have saw many IT managers in my company who run Keygens and Patches on their work computer…Even i educated then not run unknown executable without Sandbox…Those managers are having 4-5 years of experience in IT field, but they are really dumb in the field of security.
Unfortunately true.
Its all about how kind of architecture you have followed when designing the security application. The question is always: Will my security software allow an unknown exe to be executed?
Here is a test for you: go ahead and create a basic hello world application in a pc and then run it on a norton or mcafee protected PC, will it stop it?
If it doesn’t, then you know it is NOT a default deny architecture.
I hope people will start following Default Deny architecture.
thanks

I just don’t get it some people talk about security, especially in enterprise environment but they still use IE 6 e.g.
Suites like McAfee have a certain degree of efficiency, but only a certain. E.g. McAfee Safeboot is a good feature and I’m not sure does COMODO have something like that.
But other than that, COMODO owns them all.
Speaking of security, people are not aware that they just can’t leave everything on a security software, they themselves have to be cautios, meaning using the latest and most secure stuff. So in terms of security, don’t use outdated software, but also it doesn’t mean if it’s new it’s perfect and covers everything. Choose your software wisely.
I really appreciate what Melih is doing :-TU
About Comodo AV. Why all think it’s bad and detection rates are below “normal”? It isn’t! I have made several tests and I know that CAV isn’t bad AV. It is really good.
Probably not but surely these packages mentioned protect critical areas now? Maybe they will allow malware (i.e hello world) to run but stop it from hooking into the system (like D+). I’ve been a Comodo user since CFP2 (quite some time) so haven’t looked at other packages since then to compare. We use McAfee at work which doesn’t score to well with CLT.
+1 on this
I’m just waiting for the guys to fix the CPU hog with cmdagent.exe and long-lasting updates. After that I’m back to the full suite of CIS.
Comodo Disk Encryption is similar to safe boot (afaik)…
thanks
Melih
I wish they do…(I do sincerely mean it when I say I wish they did…)…but reality is they don’t :(.
First thing that any decent Virus author do is: To test their viruses to make sure AV’s don’t detect it before they release it. These Virus authors are not stupid enough to write a virus/malware that will be detected off the bat.
You cannot afford to run your business or your computer on Risk…Risk of allowing unknown applications to run.
