Yes, it does - and this does it excellently. Still no malware on my PC - and that’s still very importent for me - most of all.

CIS isnt dead, it is currently being developed by only a very few people, thats all. So if there is a big vulnerability about protection they will fix that.
After the Xcitium’s bug fixes and improvements, they will check the CIS again i think.
It still gives you nearly %100 protection ratio even though it hasnt received any major updates for a long time, its very good.
They giving more importance to Xcitium rn.
So far, it looks more like Schrödinger’s cat…

Hello, regarding the CIS, we really need an update for this product, because what we have seen most over the years has been requests for bug fixes.
Recently, one of the developers posted in one of the topics about several fixes that he would possibly fix. I say possibly because we don’t know if it will be done since the CIS team is limited and has few people. Most of them only look at XICitium. Unfortunately, CIS is left aside for second or third place.
Now, if they noticed that there are more USERS using CIS than XICITIUM, they would update CIS more constantly.

I think Xcitium has more users than CIS. If you look at the threat map you can see it. Or not idk.
Currently, COMODO Internet Security Premium appears to have a more established and well-known user base compared to Xcitium.
Xcitium, on the other hand, is mentioned less in recent sources, which suggests that it may have a smaller or less visible user base.
Xcitium gets more money then CIS tho

Yes, and then pay Valkirie to give an opinion on a file, when that’s the basic free job of other antivirus programs… (evaluate files) (which, when put together end-to-end, is called an antivirus database…)
In fact … It’s a choice of business model, which, given the results, doesn’t seem relevant to me…

If they were to use Valkirie to beef up the antiviral base, this could be a very good TECHNICAL idea, but in that case, the business model would take a hit, since charging so much for Valkirie would be thwarted by this true antiviral base.
With Valkirie, you have to pay for expectation, for the “What’s going to happen to you”, Comodo Valkirie will tell you…
Whereas the competition tells you: “Sleep easy, as soon as something new appears anywhere in the world, we’ll add it to our database and you’ll be protected”.
I’ve been suggesting this for a long time, Comodo could do both. But with a very good antivirus base, Valkirie would surely be cheaper…

We do use valkyrie for our enterprise customers in almost real time.
Yes, thank you for your reply, but Valkirie’s individual findings are not put to the benefit of the community.
Otherwise, you’d have the best antiviral base on the market.

Lets define “Best” please…
What is your definition?
The best antiviral base on the market is when all the findings of harmful or risky behavior made by Valkirie all over the world complement your antiviral base.
You could do it, but apparently you don’t want to…
it wouldn’t detract from the rest, on the contrary…

we do that. All the intelligence from Valkyrie is shared globally. But that doesn’t mean you as a user will have a really old virus signature from 4 years ago in your local signature database.
My definition of Best: is the product that keeps me Safe! Doesn’t matter whether it detects or not, as long as it keeps me safe!

I don’t think there is a better definition. 
Exactly what I always wrote: Nothing about detection, nothing about a 110% detection rate, nothing about bugs, none of that: The only thing that matters to me is protection, and it has done that excellently so far. And I always wrote: Comodo has protected all my PCs etc. with all the Windows versions I have had, and that was all of them. Of course it gives the impression that a program without an update is no longer up to date and vulnerable to cyber criminals, especially nowadays. I have had never access to my PCs, laptops, never had access to my bank accounts, never had a virus attack, never had rootkits, never had ransomware. No matter which program I scanned with, none of them found anything. Is there more protection than this 100%? Do some have 120%? For me, protection was always the most important thing, not the detection rate. And how a program protects is secondary. And what would be written in Malwarebytes in response to statements like mine here, such as “I’ve never had any problems, so others are allowed to… blah, blah, blah!” It doesn’t matter to me what blah is being spouted there: I am a multiple person in relation to X PCs, laptops that I have had with X programs, X versions of Windows, things I do, with personal data such as invoices, correspondence, etc. Here’s a thank to Melih, to the team, and also to the moderators.

Well, I’m just the opposite!
I naively thought as you do, precisely because of this forum and its commercial bias.
And then I got infected. (many)
Infections corroborated by scans with other antivirus programs with impeccable scans.
And regarding old viruses, yes, I’ve found old programs on my old hard disks that were not detected by Comodo CIS, because “Comodo CIS doesn’t deal with old viruses”. “Don’t bother!” (Give me a break, it’s obvious this has never happened to you).
Except that when you give these programs to other people and they’re full of viruses, the first thing they ask you, looking at you like an idiot, is “Thank you! So Thank You: Really! What’s your antivirus that I’m thinking of never buying?!!!”
And once again, you look like an idiot because Comodo CIS’ antivirus base is WILLFULLY bad!
The last time I had to defend this policy, as Mehli constantly does here, here’s what I was told:
“You’re like a car dealer who sells you a car without a spare tire or seatbelt, but keeps saying that you don’t need to worry, because with this car you’ll never have an accident!”
Nobody believes me anymore, and I look like an idiot.
Look what they say elsewhere about products that don’t want to evolve…

If I worked with you, there would be some tough conversations at the table… I would fight “tooth and nail” to make the product evolve! 
Having said that, I think you’re very brave to face both the market and your customers with such conviction. You’ve got a lot of merit!

Thank you Melih for your interest…
But I’ve destroyed everything. I don’t want to stay with something that CIS can’t detect.
It was over time, months and years.
(I’ve been with you since the beginning)
The only one I remember is from the xxx editor.
To convert files to Word format and vice versa.
He made it look like he was doing this on the personal computer, but in fact he was sending the files to their server, which converted them.
As far as I was concerned, this was a blatant intrusion into my personal data without my knowledge.
Suppose I work for a law firm: can you imagine the problem with professional secrecy?
I’ve read all about this. I don’t know what it’s worth.
I imagine that to comply, they’ve changed their practices. I’ve no idea. I’ve thrown it all out. I won’t be going there again.
At the time, I wish Comodo CIS had noticed…
Others did. I can’t remember who, but now it’s a bit old and I’ve got, alas, a thousand other things to think about.
