hey AVguste, this has already been discussed.

Unfortunately, Melih and the Devs aren’t psychic’s.
And no they shouldn’t be held accountable, All the HYPE is from the users.

It will come when it’s ready, Comodo doesn’t want to release a half decent product. Use CPF3 as an example.

Let’s not “HYPE” release dates again. → It will come when it’s ready.

Something funny… while downloading the page with CAV 3 news, my browser showed me error “request timeout”, but the head title was Comodo Antivirus/Antispyware_b.4.0 Really beta? No, just error with page rendering in browser. So humiliating error!!!

Which is why no dev(be it comodo or another)should announce any products unless they are ready to give an ETA and release.
All the hype is from the devs cause they announce the imminent release of a product.Instead,they should keep their announcements for themselves and say nothing until the product has an ETA or a release date.
Do you really think that communities would be hyped about a product no one knows about?
I don’t think so

AVguste, I ask you to stop as future posts will most likely be deleted by a moderator. Arguing about a release date and pointing fingers will not get CAVS3 out any faster.
This is free - No one can demand anything, We must fit into their schedule.

Q; “When will cavs3 be released?”
A; “When it is ready.”

Personally my take on delays and developers is simple:

1.developers should never announce a product unless they can provide a specific and exact ETA of release.Why excite a community if you are only going to say “release when ready”.Makes people frustrated

2.when an ETA is announced,a dev should make sure that the date is far enough in the future to allow for postponments and for early releases.And then get the dev teams working 24/7

3.If an ETA is given and for whatever reason, the devs are unable to release a scheduled, the devs or at least the lead dev should release a public detailed statement to the community,explaining in specific details why the delay and what is done for such a delay to not happen again.

Bottom line is that devs need to be held accountable for any delays and any lack of communication.

The above three points are standard communication benchmarks for open source devlopment projects. The difference here is that Comodo do not release any software as open source. They are a commercial venture and are fully entitled to structure their user communications whatever way they see fit.

I agree, a little more comms would be nice, but I don’t feel we have the right to demand anything, given that Comodo are making their desktop software available for free.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth, even if the horse strolls into the corral a couple of hours after we expected/wanted it to.

I’ve never known such an anti-virus program that generated this much love before. Love leads to disappointments about it not being out and disappointments leads to anger and anger leads to arguments.

88. Did I miss something or did he say something else ;D.

Anyway, guys what’s the problem ? Everbody full stress CAVS 3 won’t come out ^_^. Stay calm, it will only become better and better, also, don’t expect to much from it on the first day, it will need time to become the best :).

Well, if this situation has NOT been engineered by Comodo deliberately then it sure has worked anyway because half the world seems to be gagging for this release even knowing that Comodo themselves have stated that a stable version may not be available until the end of the year. The trouble is that now all of the arguments have been so blown and reloaded that the whole thing is getting boring. Undoubtedly the best free AV at the moment is still Avira but my guess is that CAVS3 will offer substantially more - if it doesn’t then not worth chucking it into the pile with all the rest. So, in agreement with the other post about all “taking a step back” please lets all be patient to try out our new toy. Lets also remember that the version 3 firewall was not too user friendly in its first few releases so don’t expect a bug-free CAVS at the outset because something this complex to write aint gonna get sorted completely until its had some real life testing - i.e. by us! As a final point I believe that Comodo really are well on the way now to completing the first ‘suite’ that will offer class leading performance from ALL of its components unlike most of the paid offerings which may have good AV but poor firewall or spyware content etc. As I see it I’ve been waiting this long so a bit longer won’t hurt.
