Comodo Organizes everything under three layers of protection.
Prevention
Detection
Cure
Currently Everything is standalone… CIS/CBU/CSC/CVA etc etc
Why not Combine Them All in One App?
Call it what ever you wish… Security Center, Desktop Managment (Center)…
You may remove/add components as you wish (CSC/CVA/CBU/CAV/CDP(Comodo Defense+)/CFP etc etc…
Reasons Why This is a good idea:
One Place For Everything
One Icon For Everything (Comodo Back Up/CIS/EasyVPN/CVA etc)
Simple Managment Of Systems Security… and for those Advance Users…
There are more. I’m sure… can’t think really…
Reasons Why This is a Bad Idea: Bloat Comodo Is Professional at Not Making Bloat Ware Memory Comodo Is Professional at Making Resource Friendly Apps
Can’t think of any other reason not too…
I don’t agree with all these as one application. However, I will support the idea of grouping them all together (but separate) under one desktop controller app.
I can’t say I’d be terribly keen on a single all in one app, there’s enough in CIS already and from what I’ve heard, more is on the way.
Perhaps, as John suggests, having some sort of centralised control panel, would work, but it’s a fine line between being all inclusive and just having control from a central location.
I fully understand the reasoning behind the current CIS package, but adding applications that don’t really fit into this metaphor is not the righ way forward.
Actually, the more I think about this, the less I like it. As much as I like CIS, it’s enough. I really don’t want something sitting in my system tray that takes up resources I may never use.
Honestly I wouldn’t prefer a setup as this. I like to add the most minimal amount of programs to computers I service as possible with my family as they for the most part leave all the maintenance to me. Extra programs like CSC, CBU, CVA and so forth would add to the complexity of CIS where it seems they are working on getting the opposite effect right now. This isn’t to say I do not use the other programs, for instance I always have CSC on my USB flash drive, but putting things on other systems that people typically don’t use just doesn’t seem like a correct move for CIS right now.
They should stay separate. The CIS installer alone is big enough and not everyone installs all CIS components. An all-in-one installer containing all that stuff would just suck. :-TD
