I think the window Defense + should have a column “Response” with values such as blocked, allowed and changed (for the Comodo options).
How do I know that answer was given by other users of my PC without it?
The window “Computer Security Police” should allow things like sort by name of the application and have a field of search by name for the application.
When you remove an application that window, it should remove the line and not only play the focus on the first line, forcing a move the scroll bar again.
When the amount of programs in the window grows too, the system tends to have strange behavior, including locking. I had to reinstall the CIS today.
The firewall should warn the user about attempts to “port scan” The old Sygate (a good firewall on your time) did it.
Good suggestions. Hope to see them implemented some day.
A (little?) known fact is that you can search in the rules by pressing Ctrl + F, but it works by full path only.
The slowdown when saving rules is also known. It happens because Comodo writes all the rules to the registry. It takes almost 10 secs on my computer (Q6600 overclocked to 3,0 GHz) to save the rules. And all that time the application that generated the alert is frozen (:AGY) Yeah, I have a lot of custom rules… :a0
It is not considered a security threat. Melih, Comodo’s CEO, commented on it last month in a topic about CIS and Matousec tests. He also said he wouldn’t add such a function to CIS only to be hgiher up in the Matousec test program.
Someone send a shutdown command for your computer through the network and you do not have time for save your files, is not a security problem? Insanity think so?
It may be a joke for another user on the network? Can. But I think would not be acceptable to lose unsaved data. D+ should rather protect my computer. (:AGY)
Your case is actually related to network based firewall configuration. It is not considered as what is called shutdown protection. In HIPS applications, 2 parameters are important: Which application is doing something and what it is doing.
In your case, windows will be shutdown by an authorized application rather than malware. You can easily disable this feature in windows. Ofcourse this can ONLY be a case from within a trusted network so that you allowed all the computers to access your computer. We do not consider this to be a threat that could be used by malware to obtain leverage.
And when you think of it, your friend making you a joke over network and your friend coming to your desk and pressing the reset button of your computer are the same things.
In case of false positives (FP) with AV, in add the program (FP) to the “Add to My Own Safe Files” the program freezes the whole system for about a minute.
The levels of false positives are still high. Just a simple UPX into an executable.
