I may try it this weekend if i find the time. Am I safe and protected by the firewall right now?
I have used one of the options provided by avast to shut down all the avast “shields”. But it does not help the update.
Thanks for all the help
Yep it works with any .dmp file. Those are standard windows dump files that comodo stores there for easy access.
Filehorse has until 8.2 as off line installer: Comodo Internet Security Download (2024 Latest) .
Filepuma has until 8.4 as off line installer: Download Comodo Internet Security 8.4.0.5076 for windows - Filepuma.com .
!ot! ??? :o Why is almost everybody not keeping installers local and depend solely on the www with its fleeing nature? We have enough hd space these days.
You link to older versions, Filehippo has the last version 8.4.5165.

Thanks for pointing out. I thought Filehippo had stopped providing off line installers of the Comodo Firewall and Internet Security hence why I automatically looked at Filehorse and Filepuma.
Filehippo linked to version 10 :o Filepuma is ok :-TU Thanks!!!
Oh wow, yeah that looks like it’s for the CSI installer, they are linking to that ■■■■■■ web_installer.exe COMODO likes to do now, which is probably just going to grab the latest version 10 off from their servers.
The CFW is definitely an offline v8.4.5165 though, I installed that and that’s what I got.
Yes. You can usually tell it’s functional if active connections are being displayed in UI.
A piece of advice for everyone. If you get a offline installer of Comodo or any other program that works for you keep that offline installer for emergency in case the newest version doesn’t work for you. That is Why I keep a backup of CIS 8.4 On my computer and backup files. Just a thought everyone. By the way you can install only the firewall or the AV from the whole suite if that is all you need.
When will existing CIS users receive program updates?
It should be there. Please run the program updater and check.
Will CIS ever receive a cryptolocker recognizer for Viruscope?
Hopefully in next major CIS release.
Hi Folks,
C:\ProgramData\Comodo\Cis\tempscrpt
is still filling up with scripts from Driver Support and raising notifications each time. Any thoughts?
Thanks
What notification are you getting? Can you post a screenshot of such an alert?
The contents are:
Set-NetTCPSetting -InitialCongestionWindow 4 -SettingName InternetCustom | out-file -encoding ASCII -filepath “C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\pow\psCF1OS.txt”
Set-NetOffloadGlobalSetting -Chimney Disabled | out-file -encoding ASCII -filepath “C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\pow\ps08yU6.txt”
and a few others.
Screen shot is in the attachment.
Thanks

More scary troubles. I don’t know about CIS, now. It’s not making me feel safe. It’s making me afraid, not of malware, but that CIS itself is going to trash my computer (Windows 7 Home Premium SP1).
Earlier in this thread I said how, after performing the update and removing the other software I’d been using to delay CIS’s start to get round the no-Aero-theme and CIS-couldn’t start problems, following the after-update restart my desktop came up with no Aero, CIS failing to start again, and then when I tried to restart a second time the computer wouldn’t shut down - it stuck at the point where everything had cleared from the desktop background, but the desktop background just stuck there. I ended up having to do a manual power off. On re-start, after a nervous wait, the computer was actually OK, normal Aero theme, CIS starting itself. I hoped everything would stay OK.
It hasn’t.
I didn’t have the Secure Shopping installed, but thought maybe I should have a look at it and give it a try. So I clicked on the Secure Shopping tile in the CIS interface, and agreed that CIS should download and install it. It did so and wanted to restart the computer … I clicked for it to do it. The computer shut down, restarted, Windows came up, I logged on and … desktop with no Aero theme again, desktop theme manager unavailable again, CIS failed to start again, just like after the main CIS update. Last time one more restart cleared it, so i clicked to restart, and just like the second restart after the update the shutdown froze after the desktop content had cleared but the background was still there. I had to do a manual power off again. But while after the update this was the point where it restarted OK, this time I looked away while Windows was starting and when i looked back CHKDSK was running. In 20 years i have never had CHKDSK start on one of my computers unless I’d set it to. After a very long, nervous wait for CHKDSK to finish and the machine to have another go at starting it started … and again no Aero, no theme manager to get Aero back, CIS failing to start again. Very VERY nervously I tried another restart, and finally the computer did restart with Aero themes back and CIS managing to start itself.
I’m feeling worried, now about restarting my computer again. I’m just not trusting CIS not to ■■■■■ the machine up irretrievably.
Once upon a time (basically before ten years ago) I’d just have seen all this as an interesting challenge. But back then i was a bit of a computer geek; I could think clearly and problem solve; between the computer at work and the one at home, if one became ■■■■■■■ up I could still use the other to get on the internet and research to figure out how to fix the messed up one; and I earned enough to be able to buy replacement stuff if it came to it.
But then I became disabled. The permanent pain medication means I can’t think clearly, can’t concentrate, and just look blankly at even simple problems; this computer is the only one I have, the only internet access I have (I don’t have a smart phone, or any use for one), so if it’s ■■■■■■■ up to the point of not being able to get on line (which the last CIS 8 update did - BSOD the moment the login screen appeared, and left me really scared until I managed to boot it in safe mode and the system restore worked … never could do that last CIS 8 update), and just on disability I’ve basically got no money to replace anything.
I just don’t trust CIS now. It’s too complicated, not tested enough, not robust enough at integrating with existing software and hardware (maybe you guys are all Windows 10 and maybe 8 but just don’t bother enough with testing on Windows 7 anymore). I don’t have faith that i have it configured well enough. I don’t have faith it’s going to start after a restart. i don’t have faith it’s going to let me shut down and log off properly. I don’t have faith it’s going to let me have an Aero theme each time I restart - or even let me restart a all. And I really, really worry now what’s going to happen after an update, or after the install of an additional module. I DO have faith that it’s going to ■■■■■ with Firefox loading any page with a flash video on it (not stopping it. which i could understand, but making it wait minutes suspended before finally letting it load). And I don’t have faith it’s not going to truly ■■■■■ up my system beyond my now meagre ability to fix. And, sad to say, I don’t have much faith in this forum, even if, after trouble, I can still get to it: I got no useful help on any of the problems I posted about, and neither did any of the others who’d asked about the same problems over quite a few years before which I found while searching. And the report procedures and ‘best way to install/update’ procedures are just ridiculous for most users, and especially a disabled user with trouble concentrating for more than a few minutes, trouble thinking clearly, and increasing pain from moving. concentrating etc. It’s for computer geeks by computer geeks. not for average users. And no professional software for normal users should need anything - anything - like those best re-install/update procedures people keep getting pointed to. It’s a joke. No normal user is going to wade through that; I couldn’t even finish reading it and parsing all the ‘download this and that unless you have windows blah in which case the other, then run both, unless with Windows bleh in which case that will destroy your machine so you should do that but not this then the other except …’, let alone ever do it. Any software that really needs a procedure like that is simply not suitable for marketing to normal users. Do any of you guys ever actually try to look at this stuff from the point of view of average people who are NOT techie geeks? Or think about the simple fact that most normal users never, ever actually visit support forums, so if that kind of stuff is really needed they are all stuffed?
CIS is a nice idea. But the current implementation is just not developed enough, robust enough for normal users.
Internet Security software is supposed to make the user feel, if not safe, at least safer. CIS 10 makes me feel worried, very worried, simply that it itself is going to kill my machine and internet access. Sad.
Are you using HIPS in Safe/Paranoid mode with a blank or near-blank ruleset? What you describe is very similar to shutdown/startup issues that have been reported numerous times before all the way back to v6 (e.g. here), since the default HIPS rules Comodo is shipped with are not enough to allow Windows services to work correctly during shutdown and restart, and since the desktop is unavailable at these times, it is not possible to see and allow the alerts that are generated by Comodo. If this is indeed your case, set HIPS to “Training mode”, reboot your machine, and let Comodo automatically create all the necessary rules for the shutdown and startup procedure; this should fix your problem and you can set it back to Safe/Paranoid mode after a successful reboot. Alternatively, you can always check the HIPS log to see what was blocked by Comodo, and make the necessary rules manually.
On another note, can somebody from the staff comment on the points I mentioned here earlier?
How can I disable this behavior?
