I can answer that question with some ease - no security produc provides 100 % protection. Norton, Comodo, or any other product. Since you haven’t answered any of my questions with verifyable facts or numbers, it’s very hard for me to take your claims seriously.
"Does norton catch 100% all malware? if not what happens to the malware that norton doesn’t catch? "
Changed to “Does comodo catch 100% all malware? if not what happens to the malware that comodo (including sandbox) doesn’t catch?”
The videos are useless:
He is using virtualbox
WARNING: CIS does not work properly in VirtualBox because of the limitations imposed by this virtual machine(Vectored Exceptions fail). So please test it with another VM software.
Also have been reported that Virtualbox does not work fine with karsperky, Online armor and some other, use google.
The sanboxing is pure rubbish. Looks like sandboxes anything that is not digitally signed.
Thanks for for showing your ignorance, but you are wrong.
"La miel no esta hecha para la boca del burro"
Of course I don’t like your answer! It contained no verifyable (by me) facts.
Please don’t be deluded - about a week ago, in a well known underground forum, some told an experienced malware writer that he couldn’t bypass Sandboxie, Defensewall or Comodo. He wrote samples within 3 days, all actively bypassing all products. You can ask him for the samples
To think that a security product (including your own) can offer 100% protection against, malware, and that your product won’t be bypassed is madness. No security expert in the world will even think of making this absurd claim.
Hi ya!
Just saw your topic on the Norton forum. You must feel pretty brave, or very stupid bashing Norton on their homefront. If Comodo is so good why is PcWorld criticizing Comodo for not picking up serious malware. Also PcWorld also says Comodo have many false positive. What does Norton Internet Security do with unknown threats? It block them off course. There is a layed security to catch unknown threats. The first layer against internet threat is the Norton Safe Web. It warns the user before they accidently visit a page containing a known malware. The next layer is download insight. Using information gathered from millions of Norton users, it decides whether the file is safe, unsafe or unknown. Before opening unknown exes that it haven’t seen before, it warns the user that they are one of the first one to use a file. The general theory is that if the file is safe, most if not all the Norton users will have it. Another layer is the Sonar heuristic technology that attempt to catch malware based on their behavior. All suspected files are blocked and quarantined. In addition, Norton releases virus definition every 5 to 15 minutes! Does comodo have such features? Also, a video in YouTube shows Norton having higher detection rate than Comodo.
Your ethics also undermines your efforts to push your products.
During development the automatic sandboxing Comodo tested it against 15,000 malware samples. None of them were able to infect the system according egemen the head developer (comment made in the mod board). That is without using signatures. I find that very promising to say the least.
I am still waiting for the first malware to circumvent the sandbox. Begemot seems to have one.
Please start a topic if you actually have that sample. Don’t attach it to your post but wait for members and Comodo staff to send it to them.
Until I see a topic by your hand and you have provided the malware to interested testers I think you visit interesting places on the web and you like to let us know just that…
No thanks. I’ll never register into a Symantec forum (if they policy remains the actual one…).
I won’t register in a forum just to bash a product. What will I earn with that?
I can’t understand users that log here in Comodo forum just to bash the product.
I understand critics, suggestions, comments… but I won’t be able to do this in a Symantec forum ;D
Jovan, maybe they’re not worried with piracy… free antivirus are eating its marked share ;D
And if it can detect it… Everything there is based on detection, if it fails…
It’s not a matter of shields or layers, it’s a matter of concept.
And if it fails?
A little difference: Comodo products are free and Symantec, paid. Who pushes what?
And you know this how ? There was span of quite a few years, 2005-2008 if I recall where PCMag constantly gave the title to other products like ZoneAlarm. Because lets face, the Norton products during those years were total rubbish. Norton has turned the corner in the last few years and most will agree that it is the top two if not the best all-in-one security product out there. Is it 100% secure. No, nothing is. But it provides way better protection than CIS as the tests are showing.
Ofcourse I fully expect everyone on this forum to fully disagree with all 3rd party tests where Comodo does not win
From my point of view, I think there is no point even testing Comodo in its current state as it provides zero value to the average user as it prompts the user for everything. VERY VERY VERY annoying. Why do I need a security product that is going to ask ME what to do. If Comodo doesn’t know, how the hell is the user going to know.
Some of the user alerts are just hilarious - foo.exe has executed shell code !!! I am sure most visitors on this forum dont know what shlle code is. How does one respond to such an alert.
Comodo Internet Security should be renamed to PromptMe Internet Security
how do I know this, well it’s not hard to figure out, open the magazine and look at the website, there are tons of advertisements for Norton. How do you think they get there, PC mag puts them in for free, no they get paid by symantec and do you really think as the editor of a computer magazine you will do anything to make one of your biggest advertisers mad, no you will not. They will pull their money out and you would be ■■■■■■■.
PCMag is read by more home users than any other PC mag. So obviously Symantec will user it to reach their targeted customers. There are lots of security vendors in PCMag. I dont see any of them winning Editors choice. These baseless accusations dont help you build your case btw…
Because its not. Your free AV product prompts. That’s all it does. It doesn’t take a lot of R&D to build a product that prompts on everything that is not digitally signed. It is very hard to build a product like Norton that has the confidence to automatically remove a piece of malware without prompting the user. You try doing that and your FP forum Comodo Forum will be 10 times are large.
Yes I have. Quite extensively. And let me tell you, it is unusable. The prompting is out of control.
Clearly you haven’t watched the videos on youtube of CIS vs NIS. There are dozens and dozens of prompts. Do you call that usable.
The person who claimed that Comodo, Defensewall and Sandboxie couldn’t be bypassed put money on his claim, to give an incentive - that’s the only reason the malware author wrote the samples. He made a long tirade about security through obscurity (this guy has quite an ego) and said that most HIPS are “bullpoopie”. I don’t have the samples, and knowing his character, you will have to pay him to get them (and he will probably mock you…). Whilest he is a bit of an ■■■, I don’t doubt his technical ability. Have a look at invite only forums, there’s no way I’m putting myself on the line by linking to it!
Of course, this will look like I made things up - if you think so, I honestly don’t mind. The knowledge that a conceptual bypass is possible is enough for me. If you want the evidence, go on any serious underground forum, start trolling and claim that your product is bulletproof. Offer a financial incentive for a malware author to waste his time. You will have your sample very soon.
