I would like to announce the availibility of COMODO Internet Security 5.12.256249.2599.
We have also issued an update to all users who have previous versions installed.
What’s New in this release? IMPROVED! Windows 8 Support FIXED! PPPoE protocol driver conflicts with firewall driver in Windows 8
As you already know, we already released 5.12 before but havent updated existing users so far. However in order to reduce the Windows 8 related support load, we decided to issue an upgrade to make all comodo users fully compatible with Windows 8.
This is not CIS 6 and you will still get CIS 6 once it is released.
IF you would like to download directly, yourselves here are the links:
Comodo was asking me to update a minute ago. I was: What? Not again! LOL! Issue with Comodo server! Need to report! And here you are! Official new update! But no thanks. Using 5.10 still. Waiting for CIS 6 RC.
not a surprise autoupdate failed on WinXP Pro 64bit due some file (intrepid_m.whatever or something like that) was missing but manual install worked fine, on Vista autoupdate succeeded normally but Vista didn’t like some reboot CIS did and wanted to send error report to Microsoft. CIS on XP was fine since I reinstalled OS and CIS ~2 weeks ago and CIS diagnostics didn’t found any errors (not a surprise) and on Vista CIS hasn’t reported any problems.
I think I’ll just stick with 5.10 for now since nothing changed for W7. Still, thanks for letting us know that this wasn’t a Update failure like what happened a few weeks ago.
I exported my configuration from CIS 5.10.228257.2253 uninstalled 5.10 and
restarted computer and removed cis from non plug and play drivers in device manager
and restarted once more.
When i installed 5.12 i restarted computer and imported configuration from 5.10
and went to update CIS av database i got a firewall prompt from windows system that
it wants to connect to the internet(255.255.XXX.XXX and other ip adresses) and other
programs want to connect to the internet with same firewall prompt.
I also noticed there is no traffic notification in the tray.
I uninstalled CIS 5.12 and followed the same procedure as described above and installed
CIS 5.10 imported configuration and there where no problems.
My configuration CIS 5.10.228257.2253 Internet security premium,av database 14142
W7 SP1 - 64 bit with latest updates.
Me too. Well use version 5 until the support for it runs out which is not soon. It’s like people with ESET. Some don’t like version 5 so they use version 4.
I have a similar problem. I have W7 SP1 64bit, today I updated CIS to v5.12.256249.2599 and some programs have stopped working. For example: my MSN messenger v7.0 (I know, it is a very old version) can’t connect since new version was installed, my other PCs in the localnet can’t connect correctly to some webs (for example: google.com) using proxy (proxy is installed in same CIS PC).
And, as Leon Outside say, i got a firewall prompt from windows system that
it wants to connect to the internet(255.255.XXX.XXX and other ip adresses) and other
programs want to connect to the internet with same firewall prompt.
How I can go back to the previous version? (I can’t remember the number of the last version and where can I donwload it)
