Hey Guys. Update from Melih and I shall pass it on to you guys…

Here is an update for January 8th, 2008. Egemen is on holidays but should be back on Friday, For those who don’t know who Egemen is or what he does, He is the lead developer of Comodo Internet Security and is incharge of it, He is with Melih in the Comodo US Office. There was also a holiday today in the Comodo Ukraine Office (CIS Developers are scattered from USA, to China, to Ukraine, etc).

Be patient guys… No release date has been announced nor set in stone, Remember the “Wait for CAV 3 days?” I know you guys have been and are checking all the time, Just hold on a little bit longer.

It should be worth the wait! Remember CIS is ready just the signatures being transferred to new format, etc so as soon as Holiday mode is over things will start rolling. That’s all for now!

Cheers,
Josh

I hopes it gets released tomorrow…

JUMPING UP AND DOWN… (in frustration)

This is to me bigger news than windows 7, that will be open beta this friday.

Anyway, thanks comodo for such a great product. :BNC :BNC

I don’t understand one thing.

Comodo is going to integrate Comodo Memory Firewall to CIS. The question is: Why is Comodo SafeSurf (Funny name, as it should be something Comodo KeepMemorySafe ) already part of it? Doesn’t it do the same job?

Safe Surf only protects your browser from BO attacks where as MF protects your whole pc.

I think they both protect all of the PC, just SafeSurf is newer, installs with CIS, and has an unnecessary browser toolbar.

Safesurf only protects ur pc when your internet browser is open, cmf protects you all the time!

Looking forward to this release, ive missed threatcast quite a lot since the .327 beta last year!

Check this out:

the safesurf BO checks for BO within the browser (a good chunk of the attacks). CMF on the hand however checks “any” BO on the computer. For example, there could be some other app like an IM client etc which has a BO vulnerability that could be exploited. Because CMF is system wide it will catch any. Safesurf is limited to the browser based ones.

reason why we did that is because cmf code is quite complicated. As you might be aware, we dont put products into general release until we are happy with them. I think CMF will be a full product very soon though…

Indeed this is the correct answer…

Indeed this is the correct answer…and that is why we are putting whole of memory firewall into CIS in the next release.

When the new CIS is out of beta and pushed out automatically, I guess you’ll have to uninstall Memory Firewall in case you have it parallel with today’s CIS?

I’m very excited to see how you put all this new stuff in CIS. Will there still be just cmdagent.exe and cfp.exe? (:AGL)

[LeoniAquila]

@m00nbl00d

Let’s hope those will be the only 2 processes and still use the same amount of resources.

I guess the new signature format will help.

[darcjrt]

What is the engineer behind the new signature format? Will it reduce entries to the database? How will it make the scanning faster and more efficient??

[who_te_fuc]

Iam shocked, Lucky me that has been using CMF.
Anyway, this whole protection will come as an automatic update I guess?

I assume they will come out as BETA’s first… So you will have to uninstall\install manually. Or wait for an official release…

[crysisfan]

Melih, are Comodo servers prepared for us, forum users, downloading the beta? (:LGH) hehe

Yes… our lead sys admin has been buying lots of new toys

Is there an email sign up that will inform us when the beta will be ready for testing and download?

I don’t think Comodo currently has a newsletter or product notice…when you sign up for emails from Comodo when you are installing, you just get ads.

[Budda]

I’ve seen a semi-newsletter from comod to my account before listing their top 5 reasons for online security and such. I would love to be on a mailing list where my phone will go beep beep beep, you have one new message; Comodo CIS beta is ready for your sexy dance testing party.

@m00nbl00d

So, a lot people have been mistaken during all this time, since SafeSurf came out. Even moderators (https://forums.comodo.com/comodo_safesurf_and_comodos_own_toolbar/comodo_safesurf_toolbar_info-t24180.0.html;msg184868#msg184868) thought that the version, which comes bundled with CIS, protected the whole system.

I was led to believe this also :(. If I had known, I wouldn’t have installed SafeSurf along with CIS and used CMF instead. Oh well, at least the new version (be it beta) is around the corner ;D.

[jeremysbost]

I can’t believe I was misled this whole time…
