CFP/CIS stores configuration in registry (V=3.5.53896.424; X32)

I'd suggest changing the topic of this thread to "CFP/CIS stores configuration in registry" or similar. This is a huge design flaw and causes delays for anyone after couple days of usage. Additionally, it horribly bloats the registry, in effect slowing down lots of other stuff. The exported registry key has 2.5MB after a week of usage on a freshly installed box.

I guess they could use for example sqlite (like Firefox does) to store that info and then password protect it or something so that only the program can change it. That can't be hard to do. This is the only thing that is stopping CPF/CIS from the 100% mark.

Cheers to the devs

I just found out about that behaviour when I chose to freshly install CIS.
This is a big problem and I'm definitely not looking forward to D+ becoming again as slow as it was. Waiting several seconds after the alert box is inacceptable for me!

Well, thanks for changing the subject but this really doesn't belong to wishlist, this is a bug which causes lots of issues.

Dev's are aware of this issue. It's on their list but at the moment AV and bug fixing get prio.
And Defense+ works as it should, it's just making your pc almost unusable, i have the same experience.

You can "workaround" this, by cleaning up your Defense+ rules, start all over again, and use the "Trusted Application" a lot more on programs you already know are safe to use. This will help out a lot. Stay away as much as you can from the all Custom rules, that will slow you down bigtime. Sorry guy's but that's the only way at the moment.

Until they fix it, it's still a design issue.

One thing we could do is tell Dev's how many rules we have for Defense+ if there are enough users with a lot of rules maybe they can get it higher on the list.

So post your numbers from: HKLM\System\Software\Comodo\Firewall Pro\Configurations\

Now for the number 0 = Internet Security, 1 = ProActive, 2 Antivirus, 3 Firewall, 4,5 etc are imported settings.

\HIPS\Policy\Num

Mine has 234 entries on the policy now, and i have all running Custom.

Where do you find the entries?  I followed the directions you posted, but there where only 3 entries there.  Maybe Vista is different (assuming you have XP)?

It was in the Bug board, but (three b's ) Ronny moved it (so pour all your arguments on him ).

No i have Vista, but you have to "translate" your active profile to the number 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 if you have imported a profile from a previous version.

Pour them on me, i know Dev's will say it's a design issue.

Oh ok, thanks.  Hmm...I just have 6?  In the "Computer Security Policy" window, I have a lot more.

Hi Jeremy,

What is your active profile name ? (Misc, Manage my Configurations, Select).

[LaserWraith]

Hi Jeremy,

What is your active profile name ? (Misc, Manage my Configurations, Select).

Proactive Security.

[Ronny]

 
can you verify the name of profile 1, see screenshot

[nmalinoski]

Excuse me if it's not my place to butt in, but on my system, Profile 0 is Proactive Security, 1 is Internet Security, and 2 is Firewall Security. I deleted 3, which was Anti-Virus Security. That was on a fresh install of CIS 3.5, not an upgrade.

[Ronny]

Did you do the full install ? or did you leave out the AV ?
