I know Comodo is free and all and I do appreciate that! When it works CIS is better then MANY paid security solutions out there,
I would certainly start paying if you guys start maintaining ...The following are only major bugs reported and "fixed". They where real show stoppers. I menton these to make a point. That CIS is falling behind. Default rules are not being updated by you guys resulting in native Windows components being blocked. At the end of this post is the reason I wrote this. Yet another important Windows future is disrupted by CIS.
In total that's 4 big nasty bugs.
#1 (Fixed)
First real issue I encounter long ago was when CIS was blocking the NVIDIA drivers "express install" mode. This was 2016.
Hi,
so I'm unsure if this is know or not. But there is a bug with CIS 8.4.0.xxxx, unsure how long it's been there. At least five NVIDIA drivers back.
I say NVIDIA drivers because the bug is that CIS hinders the use of the "express install" mode. Casing the installation of the Graphics driver to fail (express install: An option available within the driver that lets you keep your old settings and what not)
I've been blaming NVIDIA for this, for a long time. (Sry NVIDIA)
A lot of debugging has been done to conclude that CIS is to fault.
#2 (Fixed)
Later same year we had the "Full Scan Stuck"

2019 yet another show stopper.
CIS causes System Restore to failhttps://forums.comodo.com/format-verified-issue-reports-cis/cis-causes-system-restore-to-fail-m2411-t124406.0.html;new#newnot sure if its fixed or not, I've simply disable the option that cases it.

This one I haven't reported yet. But it is the reason for writing this post. The "C:\Windows\System32\SIHClient.exe" (explanation below) is blocked. Even at custom ruleset. So my point here is this. Comodo, you guys. Proud yourself for being very good at what you do. And in most cases I agree. So it's time to dedicated some time to update CIS so that important futures as this and from the past is not disrupted by CIS.
Sihclient.exe is a file that is responsible for automatic Windows updates
Sihclient.exe is an executable that runs on the Windows operating system and is created by Microsoft. The part of the name SIH stands for Silent Install Helper, which helps to handle files that deal with automatic Windows updates. By default, it is located in C:\WINDOWS\System32\SIHClient.exe and shows up in the Task Manager depending on when it is scheduled to do so. While its initial form is harmless, many users reported that their Firewall had blocked the Sihclient.exe due to it being recognized as a virus. In most cases, this diagnosis is false positive, but users should still be wary if their AV engine detected the executable as malware
That's all
