What people aren’t taking into account here is the context I believe the dev in that conversation is referring to when Comodo was an enterprise product before it was rebranded. All we have to go on is a screenshot of a discussion, nothing official and no topic posted by the development team. Yes, Comodo is way way behind in any sort of development and nearly 3/4 the way through the year, no update so it’s anyone’s guess because of lack of communication from the development team. CFW will be here and downloadable as long as those links are active so save yourself the worry and save the offline installer file.
Anyway, much backend updating needs to happen and at the very least current sandbox technologies but it work well at containing unknowns on the whole. The mentioned mimicking of safe files has to get onto the system in the first place and although I lack knowledge in that department, I doubt it’s easy to replace a file including it’s SHA and then be activated as malware. False negatives are few and far between. I’ve been using CFW since version 2.0 and I can only think I’ve seen an actual false negative for quite a few years.
Use what works for you. I don’t have CFW on my production machine at the moment as still working out a workaround for CFW blocking oem software powershell scripts but it’s default deny approach has always worked well. This current result is the first time in CIS history with avlab to have less than 100%.
