No one seems to be wanting to answer yet…

Now listening to ■■■■■■ old Scorpions (they were not as ■■■■■■ in the 70s as they are now…: Is there anybody there?

62

very difficult to judge its effectiveness and compare it against other products in the market place…
however, at some stage, we will take a look…

Thanks if doing that Melih, cause many sites here do praise it as the best of breed of it’s kind at the moment (even if criticizing the somewhat clumsy (Austrian-)German to English translation of the prog), but I somehow feel they do not really know how this proggie really works. Could be a new intelligent spyware or trojan at the end, or even worse, and everyone using it just loves it…?

I should’ve become a fullgrown programmer, I really regret I gave this up after my youthfulness started to leave me…

64

Any new insights into this proggie yet, Melih?

65

sorry didn’t have time yet… busy with cfp v3 and cav3 :slight_smile:

Sorry, Melih

You are right CPF (and obviously the development on CAVS) are way more important, but that leads me to another question: how much are you (personally) involved (as a human being) in programming and developing COMODO’s products?

  1. Are you one of the programmers of CPF?
  2. Are you a main programmer for this great freebie?
  3. Will you ever forgive me for having been asking this direct question?

If yes, you’re obviously a great human being. Touchable, that means.

My coding days, unfortunately, are distant memory now :frowning:
I don’t do any coding (even though some days I wished I did, as I enjoyed it). We have just under 300 programmers who work for Comodo full time, they are the lucky ones who gets to write all the code for Comodo :slight_smile:

No problem indeed :slight_smile:

Thanks for answering, Melih.

Your answer, indeed, reminded me a bit of my own past and present (even if our “jobs” are in no way comparable, at the moment)…

But, as always with me (nasty me), another question to you, don’t know if that is of any interest to you, though.

Did you ever hear, and / or have you ever been interested in REBOL? Which is / or may be rather an underground programming language at this moment, but lurking out there for many years now, it’s future fate probably depending on the lifetime of it’s creator. Who was, indeed, the creator of the Amiga OS in the early 80’s (at least you told us, you love 80’s music, but how about the comps that were en vogue in those very days?)

Would be nice to hear from you on this topic…Thanks anyway, Melih (and I think I can understand why you restrained from programming)

69

OMG - Carl S. - that brings back memories.

Thanks for making me feel old - er! :wink:

No I haven’t heard about Rebol. what is it about? I prefer assembly for hacking tbh :slight_smile:

Well, here’s some easy description by Carl himself:

REBOL is pronounced “reb-ol”
As in rebel yell or “rebel with a cause”.

REBOL stands for Relative Expression Based Object Language.
It uses “relative expressions” (context dependent dialects) to create a powerful new dimension similar to that found in natural human languages.

REBOL was created by Carl Sassenrath.
He is the system designer known for bringing multitasking to personal computers.

REBOL provides a lightweight platform for Internet applications. REBOL’s power makes applications small so they are less expensive to create, distribute, maintain, and upgrade. In the size of a typical web page, you can fit an entire REBOL application.

REBOL is “both sided” technology. It is an integrated solution to distributed computing that works best when it runs on both the client and the server. (However, that is not a requirement, you can use it on just the client or just the server.)

REBOL is more than just a programming language. It is also a language for representing data and metadata. It provides a consistent architecture for computation, storage, and exchange of information.

REBOL introduces the concept of dialecting. Dialects are small, efficient, domain-specific languages for code, data, and metadata.

REBOL has been intentionally kept small and lightweight. It only takes a few seconds to download, and it requires no special libraries to run, but it includes hundreds of functions, dozens of datatypes, built-in help, multiple Internet protocols, graphics, sound, and much more.

REBOL is cross-platform. REBOL spans more than 40 systems. A program written on Windows runs equally well on Linux, BSD, OS X, and many other platforms… with no changes necessary.

Organizations large and small use REBOL to create Internet applications and solutions in a fraction of the normal time and cost.

Well, that’s all…

Cheers

MALWARE by definition is all kinds of evil miniprogs/data trying to settle down on your HD without user’s knowledge and/or permitting.

cheers.

75

Please Mr. Melih , could you tell me on what hooks relies CPF3 in Vista 32 and Vista 64 bits , Ring0 or Ring3 or on combination of them , could you explain a little more on this in relation with Vista patch guard , please?

I am not sure if this is the right forum to address my question but it does have to do with computer security, so here goes…

I have been having trouble installing CAVS and the personal firewall on my Windows 2K Pro OS. While I can download the file and save it, when I try to install it, the download wizard never starts. I get the window to close all applications and when I press OK the box disappears but the wizard never starts. I have even gone into task manager and endded all applications. I have been able to install BOClean. I have had problems with other programs that I have tried to install. I worked for a company until about a year ago, whose computer IT guy had once boasted to me that he could get into anyones computer. Since I worked out of my home office 2 hours from headquarters, and frequently had to share files, attachments etc. I often wondered if they had planted a monitor. When I started having problems installing programs, I started looking around my computer. From the control panel, I went to Computer management, Local Users and Groups, Groups, and then Administrators. Under Administrators, I found four administrators listed that I never set up. They are \S-1-5-21-855903348-76970788-310601177-1005, \S-1-5-21-855903348-76970788-310601177-1020, \S-1-5-21-855903348-76970788-310601177-1038 and \S-1-5-21-855903348-76970788-310601177-500. They do not show up when I go to the Users and Passwords section in Control Panel. Not knowing what they are, I did not want to remove them, but I am concerned that someone may have created a back door to allow them admin rights on my computer.

So my questions are:

  1. If this is the wrong forum to address my questions, could you recommend the proper forum?
  2. Are these administrators a normal part of Windows 2K Pro?
  3. If someone gained control over my computer, could they have made changes to my Config file, Install Shield, register or what ever to prevent your product from installing?
  4. Is there a way to log what my computer is doing, so that I can find out why the install wizard just terminates?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

77

I sincerely recommend you do a virgin OS install and reinstall clean versions of your fave programs, my friend. Then do a rechecking on what is in your fearing mind alien administration.

Best and most secure way to find out…

Cheers :slight_smile:

Sir

I have Norton System Works premier 2007 installed

Do i need to install your Anti-Malware or does norton already have a similar product

Yes Sire, of course! NORTON = MALWARE

Is HIPS a “subgenre” of behavior blocking?
