Um and what have I changed. You want to talk about change head on over to Wiilders and check out the thread called “my security set up”. I had NOD32 and Comodo for along time then after Matt’s reviews I went with Avira. Now I have been using NIS 2009 since Sept. I don’t call that changing alot. Get your facts straight jeims.
NOD32–>Avast!–>Avira–>back to NOD32–>back to Avira–>back to NOD32–>Kaspersky–>back to Avira–>back to Kaspersky–>Norton
And you were almost always worshiping the product you used at the moment and steamrolling on the one U dropped.
I only tried KAV cause you told me to try it. Nothing wrong with trying it is there. I gave all my set ups a good month or so. People at Wilders change every day. NOD32 I didnt trust so I dumped it. Went with Avast for a bit till I decided what to do. Avira’s umbrella never opened. So is it my fault. No. I spent $70 on NIS 2009 and thats where I am staying. I never spent any money on any of my previous set ups.
Here you guys go. Read and weep.
No one doubts that. Well, I don’t. That’s why I don’t use CIS. Well, I do, just not the AV. ;D
This is not the proper thread, but, well, here is my thought: Comodo should stick with the firewall, only. Why? A lot of improvements to be made, some of them, I already express my wishes, but so far, nothing done. Specially, D+, which needs to work smoother. Why? I have D+ set to Safe Mode (CIS w/o AV set to Proactive Security) and everytime I wanted to save a file with Opera browser, I had to answer to 3 alerts. Everytime single time! The options were 2: either set Opera as a trusted application or keep answering the freaking alerts. I chose one and did not like it at all. >:-D
Once again, I know this isn’t the proper thread, but since I already mentioned it here (https://forums.comodo.com/defense_bugs/d_with_lack_of_memory-t29021.0.html) and no answer. Perhaps, not an important issue? Who am I to say it is.
Sorry, again, to mention this in a thread not created for the effect, but perhaps by doing it so, it will be noticed? ??? 88)
No reason to weep, I think the tester misses essential things in terms of configuration. Besides, CIS is very new. Symantec has done this for many years… Furthermore, which one is free and which one costs quite a lot of $$?
I see no reasons whatsoever in doubting CIS, even after that article.

100% agreed Dark. Comodo 2.4 was great. Comodo 3.0 was better. Comodo has spread themselves way too thin and are trying to cover all areas when they should stick to just a making a great firewall. Take advice from Tallemu. The $70 I spent on a 3 license version of NIS 2009 was well worth it. You can get a single license for $40.
Everyone has to begin somewhere. They made an excellent firewall with v 3, why wouldn’t CIS become excellent eventually?
I thought CIS was suppose to get rid of pop ups. People don’t want that. NIS 2009 gives no pop ups by default cause its a very good program for newbies. But if experts want in then simply turn off automatic program control and turn on advanced event monitoring and then pop ups start coming. My sister doesn’t have much money so I had her install CIS. Not even 10 minutes later she was calling me about this alert and that alert. She has no idea what to do. I had her uninstall it and then I bought her NIS 2009. Needless to say she is very happy.
How long was CAV in beta? A very long time and it still needs tons of work years later. A good free set up is Comodo and Avira. Or even Avast and Comodo.
There are alot of improvements to be made in Comodo Firewall.
Is more than known that no security company provides the best security tools in every field, so why does Comodo go that way as well? Shouldn’t Comodo stick with the one thing they do best?
Why try to be the best in all fields, if known to be a failed plan? I would stick with the firewall. Anyway, it is just how I see things.
Online Armor dumped the KAV integration and now they stick to just making a great firewall. Anyone who is using NAV 2009 instead of NIS 2009 I tell then to use Comodo Firewall.
I’m using Avira and CIS (firewall/D+ only) and it is very true that D+ still needs improvements for newbies.
And I’m totally surprised to hear that NIS 2009 finally seems not to be the system hog Norton was from 2001 onwards.
Hopefully they keep updating that tests:
I think that the discussions on the forum that juxtapose the new and struggling CIS CAVS product with the planned near term improvements with the hoped for mature product in a year are really confusing to the users. I see lots of postings that are just rhetoric and probably a disservice to new users. The CAVS concept has a lot of appeal, but the heuristics to make it all work are in the future. As the article points out, it is very difficult for an untrained user to recognize a virus from something like the D+ popups. The evolving database improvements should help CAVS, but the proof of completeness is vague-too much arguing over AV testing that sounds like the have nots trying to subvert the haves, not soothing of the user concerns about the new product. In the meantime, PC magazine says that for now the Comodo Firewall along with Avast! or AVG makes a good free “suite” today. I see from the Avast! forum that Avast! is celebrating their 60 millionth registration (some long time users who have registered several times are probably included) and that seems like a pretty good experience base for today use. And if you want to be a part of the evolving CAVS, you can use it and supply data or ideas to it. Just be sure you also have a copy of an imaging program to recover from the problems that are almost certain to occur. Out of beta my —.
As far as doubting CAVS, everyone should do that. A key tenet of security is peer review and proof. Taking anything about a security product on faith is a road to disaster. But LA’s comment is really directed toward his confidence that Comodo will get there-and based on the firewall experience they have done well. So maybe LA would like to split this thread into two topics, if Vette is OK with that. 
NIS 2009 is extremely light. I have no idea its even there. Look at my Process Explorer screen shot.

Hey sded I thought you were on OA fanboy?
Still waiting for the promised standalone version of the Comodo firewall, without all of the other CIS stuff that gets installed but not activated. Had some uninstallation problems with the previous version that took a while to fix, so decided to wait. Using OA on my mobile wifi computer because I like the displays for firewall status and the computers online to support that-got a free copy for helping with beta testing. Trying it on my main computer, but ???
I don’t see anything anywhere about a single license. Where would that be?
Sorry $49.

What is the yearly upgrade fee for that then?
