Hello

I am back to Comodo AV after a few years with AVG and NOD32 for the last time. Everything is OK, my computers are running lightly. I have only one notice ragarding virus database update. When i used Nod32 there was update 2-3 times in a day. Now is latest version 23690 from 1-Dec-2015 10:59:12. Is it sufficient?
Thanks

Something is going wrong with latest database version shown on the page Comodo Anti Malware Database Latest Version & Additions 2022
It shows version 29690 as the latest released, but my CIS is updated at 29691 version in the moment I’m writing.

Now I have the Cis updated at 23692 version, but the Comodo web page still shows 23690.
This is not usual. Maybe someone of the Comodo staff should be aware of it.

Database version 23693 is the most recent.

5

Yes, it is. But in the web page Comodo Anti Malware Database Latest Version & Additions 2022 is written that the most recent version is 23690. This is the anomaly.

6

The page is not updated as often as it promises. :-\

Personally I am not that worried about it.

Good. Thanks.
Just an answer: where we do find now the latest database number version. In case we want to update Cis manually, how can we know now if a new database version has been released or not?
Before I was used to check that page to know it. Now I see that it is nomore possible. Or there is another way?

So when i view then link it shows AV database 23001 and was updated 13 (or 31?) of August 2015! Today I have 23732 but when I import it into CCE on my other machine (working a malware/connection problem) it says “Not a valid CAV file” or something to that affect. So what the heck? Anybody?

When you manually check you will get updated to the latest database. Is there a specific reason why you would like to check through the website rather than to let the program check and update automatically?

10

Yes. The reason is that I do update manually everytime I see there is a new database version. Before the Dec. 1st I was able to check it on the web site.
Why I do it manually? Because in the past happened that the automatic updates gave me errors.

11

Does the automatic update still gives you problems?

What would be keeping you from updating manually without checking the website? It hardly produces any data.

12

No. I don’t get errors anymore and I can update without checking the webite. By the way I was courious to know details of the new update. Before dec. 1st on the web site i did find those details.

Hey :wink:
for some days the virus database is not updating 3 or 4 times a day like it used to, but only one time per day, also manually. sometimes it is the same database for more than a day. whats going on?

Probably related to unfortunate event :
