In that case, I’ll move on to other free solutions from other companies that are still valid.
Look at the topic start. Also, each CIS release topic at this Forum contain a Link for downloading the free CIS Premium.
:-TU
I don’t really understand the reason for not just saying whether or not CIS is going full paid software. With the changes to the website it seems that they’ve already made the decision; might as well be upfront about it. If they aren’t going full paid, then there’s no reason to not just say so. Considering that at $5 per 1 device per year it’s cheaper than every other paid internet security suite out there that it would almost be a bragging point. Obviously many users will be upset, but it doesn’t help to delay. Might as well rip off the band-aid.
I personally wouldn’t mind paying $10 for my two computers, but Comodo needs to fix the update nonsense (not sending out the update to current installations when they say they will) and the updates to fix issues caused by Microsoft’s updates need to be more timely. When you’re paying for something, you have a valid reason to complain even if it’s only 5 or 10 dollars.
This could very well be the doing of a Third party. Check this Youtube channel for example:

The 4,99/year campaign is also surfacing at random new Youtube channels.
Will the Free Product survive? Is the main question, without any answer yet.
all is pointing to this; even this forum is abandoned, as a legacy place…
I’m guessing using the last free version of the firewall will be risky down the road with no updates for it anymore, how is Zone Alarm?
Will they do it again?
Will they share links with free versions?
Mah …
Free versions have not been removed yet.

[at]Fatih Orhan from Comodo just confirmed at Itarian forums that CIS Free still exists, websites are being updated and Links to free version will be available on Wednesday.
The mystery is finally solved. Also a big thank you to the user who asked the question at Itarian forums.
It looks like Comodo is going through big changes. It is hard to gauge the transitions happening by looking at the website. That’s is very unfortunate because changes without communication creates confusion, challenges people’s trust and may sometimes give the impression of not being seen or abandoned.
I hope that the website will be final on Wednesday and not subject to more changes after. Happy to hear nothing has changed for the free availability of CIS but we could do with a staff member confirming here. It doesn’t need to be a long post; just one that takes away our concerns.
as long as they dont reply in this forum ill not put faith in this post on itarian… hope they talk about it here, at comodos house…
edit.: word from melih there…
“Originally posted by MSPMSP View Post :So we will be mining for gold in the company town. That didn’t work for the people who used to live in them.”
“Mellih: why would you not support a product that is trying to make using that product cost-neutral for you?
We want to invest more in providing better, stronger product to help you and achieve that without costing you.
In return all we are asking is: the monies you spend with other companies on other products, spend it with our partner companies so that Itarian can invest more in the platform it is providing at no cost to you!”
*** thats it… comodo is dead.
Have you ever noticed that Melih is talking about Itarian remote management and Comodo Client Security(CCS) which will now only be free for up to 10 computers? Itarian changed their model from free to “cost neutral” and this is creating a lot of complains from users at their forums…
Melih is not talking about CIS or home users in this case, so please don’t spread misinformation. Comodo wanting revenue from enterprise users is nothing new, they need it in order for CIS to remain free for home users.
Stopped using CIS 3 months ago. Using Windows 10 built-in security+Veeam backup. I think I’ll stay that way.
!ot! Then I hope you make sure to do your backup on a daily basis… Below video shows Windows Defender with its “new Sandbox” getting destroyed by Ransomware.
CIS could be worse than a malware. That’s why I stopped using it. So many unresolved issues. Looks like they are going to solve them once and for all…
I guess you could create a backup image of your OS before installing CIS. Then after installing it succesfully with no sign of issues, do another backup image. If during a CIS program update you run into issues then you can restore a backup, then disable program updates at CIS until Comodo fixes the issue.
Also, this:
Or… I could just stop using CIS and start using my computer. Which I did.
The higher is the level of protection provided by a Security software, more maintenance it will require. CIS roots itself very deeply at Windows, it’s no surprise issues may happen, when handling such software you gotta have Backup and other measures in place in case things go wrong.
Windows Defender may as well cause you issues, if not from Malware infection then from False Positives on critical OS files which happened with multiple AV vendors in the past.
