Naive for at least 25-30 years. And with this naivety everything went well on x PCs/laptops with almost all versions of Windows and a wide variety of programs (no "best program for… and all for free for you!)

I don’t know what you’re doing. I’m not going to get the best program for you for free and this voucher to go with it.
You probably know more than I do - in this area.
I like the example with burglars. In Germany there is a burglary every 3-5 minutes. Sometimes with violence against the apartment owner. Statistically, many people have a bad feeling when the doorbell rings. I’ve only known that from North America. I’m suspicious at first, i.e. I don’t trust anyone. So I just open a window, if in doubt I close the window again and the person stays outside. If I open the door straight away and ask, I’m putting myself and my family in danger.
Naivety looks different to me and I don’t know how naive some people are when it comes to putting themselves in danger.

A very good example.
It doesn’t matter whether others have recognized it. Then sometimes they don’t recognize something that Comodo recognizes. And we don’t know anything about your configuration.
There are different programs in your country than in mine. But especially if, as in your case, it’s about correspondence in a law firm, I would have used a reputable program with 100% security and not a free one or one for $1.95.
Or did you already have a virus on your PC who struck at the “right” moment?

Hi Prodex!

I admire and share your love for Comodo CIS.

These and other software packages (including drivers) come from the days when they gave away CDs with computer magazines.

There were good things on them, but also, alas, viruses.

Find those CDs and you’ll be able to test Comodo CIS, like other antivirus programs… (In this respect, Webroot is very surprising… )

I’ve given everything to retrogamers now.

After that, there was the time when I bought software from well-known brands, on eBay, at a discount…

It was only after downloading that you knew if you’d been ripped off…

Here too, you can test…

Lots of ■■■■■, viruses, trojans and other nonsense.

Comodo CIS isn’t always in top form…

Personally, I’m looking to buy the real thing, not patched software.

When they were well patched, as the publisher was validated by Comodo, and its antivirus base is not VOLUNTARILY maintained, well, Comodo CIS didn’t see anything wrong with it!

I’d never have installed stuff like that without testing it first
with other, better-known antivirus programs, and also on virtual machines.

So I know what I’m talking about: Comodo didn’t see everything!

To insist on the absence of an antivirus base when the software itself can let things through in its behavior, is to shoot yourself in the foot.

eSafe Protect used a sandbox before Comodo, so it’s not infallible.

Totally wrong assessment. Why should I complain about Comodo now when it has protected all of my PCs 100% up to now? Should I now demand 120%?

At the time, McAfee was also criticized for its security.

What does that have to do with love? I am only reporting from my experience with Comodo. Is everyone in love with a product when they praise it because it works? That is nonsense.

I really have the feeling that you don’t like Comodo and are all trying to further damage its reputation.

You see, I stayed away from that, no matter how great or tempting the programs were. The programs may have been good, but these CDs were dangerous because of the potential virus contamination. And that’s what I meant: especially when I have to deal with sensitive data (I had to, I’m retired), I never trust such data to programs of unsafe origin, and that includes these magazine CDs.

However, I really appreciate your openness and that you told us this. That’s what I mean. I’ve already written that we don’t know what some users do with their PCs.

Prodex: German cars are among the best.

Would you like Mercedes to reply that it doesn’t want its cars to be tested by car magazines, because “they’re the best cars in the World”?

Even if the Technical Director is certain of this, the Sales Director should have more influence on him to correct it…

Because one day, a car magazine will go overboard and the test will go badly.

What’s more, BMW, Citröen, Audi, Range Rover, Bentley, etc… etc… also accept tests…

Even if the Technical Director is a genius locked away in his ivory tower, out there, people love car magazines. In print and on the Net…

What is the definition of ostracism?

Can we ignore the market?

You’ve never had a problem with Comodo because you’re a wise and risk-free computer user.

That makes sense.

Well, I tried until the end to get people to admit that a proper antivirus base is necessary, but I just couldn’t do it.

That’s all there is to it.

But it’s too time-consuming. The situation won’t change.

“I really get the feeling that you don’t like Comodo and are all trying to do more damage to its reputation.”

Let Comodo CIS renovate its antiviral base as it used to, and you won’t hear too much more from me.

It used to be very very good!

That’s the fact.
And sometimes I got goosebumps when I saw some of the “suggestions for improvement” and thought, no way, I don’t need this gimmick. I need security. I have that, for over 25 years, what do you actually have against it? If that is no longer the case, then I’ll just change, despite “all the love”.
Why should I buy a Smith&Wesson when the Colt has protected me reliably up to now - for over 25 years. Is someone trying to talk me into buying the S&W?

Why do you think I’m so insistent?

Because Comodo is at a technical turning point in its evolution.

It’s clear that the antiviral base no longer counts for much. In any case, much less.

I’m afraid they’re abandoning that even more. (And Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Norton, Avast, Mc Afee, ESET, AVG and the others too (even Webroot)) (Are they idiots?) (Don’t they have sandboxes or containment too for some?).

I like Comodo CIS, I certainly wouldn’t want to have to give it up.

Many people and countless times have already tried to make you understand how CIS works, but you don’t want to understand. You keep running your crazy circles.

I agree with you, I’ll go further.
Think along with me, do you think that (Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Norton, Avast, McAfee, ESET, AVG) they are all wrong, only COMODO is right?

Isn’t it possible that they are all wrong in having good detection and COMODO doesn’t have good detection?

So all security companies are wrong? Is only COMODO right?

Nobody wants to understand this

Did I write something like that?
If my body guard uses Colt and has always been successful, that doesn’t mean Smith&Wesson is bad? Comodo has protected me reliably so far. Again: no ransomware, no virus, no rootkit, no Trojan - nothing, just nothing, nothing at all, nobody found anything. Is that bad? What do you actually have against Comodo doing such an excellent job for me? That’s really a mystery to me. I don’t care how good the others are, whether I could possibly be attacked by a virus at some point (This point in time has long since passed after 25 years of protection, don’t you mind?). - that’s just my experience and I’m writing it as stubbornly as Varan-de-C0m0d0, because Comodo is portrayed as a “weakling” and not up to date. I would switch if it were different. I’m not stuck with Comodo. If my house is safe, why should I look for other security settings?

Comodo has protected me reliably so far, that’s bad, isn’t it? That can’t be true, a program without weekly updates. Apparently it doesn’t need them.

Glad to hear from you again.

95

Do you think that security companies spend millions of dollars every year, they are wrong and COMDO is right?

We have to consider, and be realistic that COMODO needs to be more updated and fix its bugs faster, improving its detection would be excellent.

96

This is the end for me. Did you read what I wrote?

What is/was the most important thing for me:
The program or the protection (of other people’s very sensitive data?)
What would have happened if the data of the people who (had to) entrust it to me had suddenly appeared somewhere on the Internet/dark net? Legal aspects. Have you ever considered this aspect? What would my employer have said to me? It’s unthinkable. I didn’t even trust Datev with my data.

i havent looked at the other messages but you are right especially VirusScope should be updated

it doing good in some cases, doing bad in some cases too.

Thank you my friend, you understood. This is what I have been saying here, the CIS product is very good, but it needs to be improved. I have already reported several bugs that exist in the tool.
These bugs are all public, anyone who has knowledge can use these vulnerabilities and failures that are occurring.
I have been warning that CIS should continue to evolve, like the products of its competitors.

CIS needs to be updated, as soon as possible, Xcitium needs updating too. For VirusScope and File Rating. And some bugs (like firewall driver issue).
If they cannot improve file rating then they need to be improve antivirus databases.

when i look at wikipedia, it says more than 1200 staff Comodo has but there seem to be no updates to CIS. (I think) Even if just 4 or 5 staff worked on CIS, it would have already been updated

Hello, that’s a great question. I’m curious to know how many employees there are.
I think the same as you, that there must be between 4 and 5 employees due to the lack of updates and bug fixes and reported failures.

No, I don’t think so…

It’s a restrictive opinion that paints a less than enthusiastic picture of Comodo.

I think it’s a much bigger company than you think, since Melih is ranked in magazines like Fortune or Forbes as having 1.8 Billion Dollars. (This is proof of success)

Such a wealthy person would never let the company he believes in and defends die with so few employees.

I think he’s invested heavily, and that by early 2025 we’ll see the new version arrive, with all the bugs fixed.

And let’s not forget that Comodo CIS Pro is just an offshoot of Xcitium, and therefore much cheaper.

We can’t claim to have the same services as those who pay more!

Comodo CIS Pro deserves patience, because if it disappears, we’ll never have another product like it again.
