CIS 7 does have a URL filter. As far as scanning the content during upload and download, that would take more resources. Programs and files can be checked for malware upon opening.

that doesnt answer my question. cis does prevent malicious scripts without web filter. A mail filter would be useless when emails are read they get downloaded to the computer then cis will scan them. an email filter wouldnt add any extra protection.
I would like to see Comodo develop the shellcode protection into something more like Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit and EMET, through I admit I have no idea on what kind of exploits Comodo’s shellcode protection does protect against and does not, I’m just expressing my idea and wish of that is what I would like to see from Comodo if it already does not cover these areas like Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit and EMET, I feel this could protect against malicious scripts and other things in web pages
I stopped using email filtering once I started using Avira back in the days and that was before even before I started using CFP 3.0 alpha or CIS. It never has gotten me into troubles.
From the man himself:
If you feel CIS is not protecting you enough when you browse simply run the browser in the sandbox.
Comodo has buffer overflow protection integrated in CIS which protects against:
Detection of Buffer Overflows which occur in the STACK memory
Detection of Buffer Overflows which occur in the HEAP memory
So you have a lot of people who are “educated” to “expect and demand” a web filter, without understanding how things work or how Comodo works. First of all, we can’t blame them for not knowing technical details. We should patiently explain to them, they will see the logic and understand that things like email/web filter to catch “malicious” files is simply unnecessary with Comodo. Once they understand, they will be grateful for us educating them and providing them this superior protection for free.

Unfortunately the way the legacy AV products worked required them to have checks for every layer. We are NOT a traditional AV product. The legacy AV is dead in a sense that it can’t do the job anymore Antivirus pioneer Symantec declares AV “dead” and “doomed to failure” | Ars Technica .
