Comodo Firewall worse than windows firewall

It would be interesting to see how CIS will perform in public network under default settings.

i read it and it said that chip has asked AVC to test. So the original source of the test is AVC.
AVC document does not show Comodo.

Comodo Firewall is one of the best if not the best windows firewall out there, period! check www.matousec.com who is a firewall/hips testing specialist.

This is so funny, so because Comodo doesn’t appear in AVC test probably because they promise that they will never test Comodo again due to the unprofessional behaviour of Comodo, we shouldn’t act as if this other link doesn’t exists…

Forget the AVC link, what about the the CHIP.de article above?

can we try not to avoid it and discuss why the performance was so poor?
can Comodo replicate the test a give a proper explanation?
Is a design problem or can be solve changing the configuration?

These are the kind of questions that I would expect to be answer by the comodo staff (not talking about the MODs), and not simply come here and say something completely irrelevant for the security of its customers.

The matousec tests are simply an HIPS test and has nothing to do with with Firewalls or FW tests. Don’t mix Host intrusion protection (OS) with firewall protection (network). You should know this. What is Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) and how does it work? - ThreatDown by Malwarebytes

I agree with lord.

Fabian Wosar, from Emsisoft, posted at Wilders promising to work with AV-C to find out what went wrong.
I’d like to see the same attitude here.

[merke]

in shorts :
is comodo firewall a hoax or is it one of the best ?
is the test can be done -proving or not its quality- ?
is someone trolling -writing irrelevant comment ?
is it a topic (neutral) or an ad-hominem attack between comodo staff and someone else or something else ?
are you sure that the question be the “professional attitude” ?

AVC said they would be ISO compliant in 2011!

did they deliver on their promise?

Maybe they failed and didn’t say a word about it.

I notice that in the pdf doc they state that each firewall is “installed in default mode” and also that the tests they do are pretty basic. We all know that Windows firewall for example is not that configurable, though it’s well suited to the sorts of tests that were done. CIS is highly configurable (that’s one of its strengths) but it was tested only in it’s default mode.

This type of testing is worthless IMHO because it doesn’t tell the reader whether the firewall is able to provide good protection when configured properly, and that’s what really matters. The CHIP test is rather like trying to compare several cars without actually driving any of them!

It’s such an appallingly bad test that it’s really not worthy of further comment. If they think that’s a meaningful way to compare firewalls then their opinion isn’t worth much.

I didn’t think RDP was enabled by default. ??

So these tests are payed-tests like a superficial review without any value ; a promoting article ?
…a lot of noise for nothing…

3 years ago in 2011, they said they had applied for it. If they want to be taken seriously they have to start keeping their promises.
there are many respectable testing organisations who are ISO certified.

True but it seems that users care about AVC results.
If you can’t beat them, join them!

We do have certain standards

Its upto us to show leadership in order to improve quality of data to end users.

I would still like to see CAV get tested by AVC.
Any hope to see that in the near future?

If you click on the link to Comodo in Chip website, it lets you go to this page http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?act=url&depth=1&hl=tr&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com.tr&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://www.chip.de/downloads/Comodo-Firewall_41877156.html&usg=ALkJrhgrz6xgyOq3fP3iEgDQR3QpPJQKmw
Here it’s written:
“Conclusion: freeware firewalls protect especially beginners from dangers from the Internet. The “Comodo Firewall” is certainly among the best.”
So, I don’t understand why they keep this good review and then they say it protects worse than Windows firewall…

May I know who are they, where can they be searched(ISO Certified Testing Organisations)?
