Curiouser and curiouser. Well, I have absolutely …no…idea. 22000? Wow. I did sub scan and still only came up with the number of files in the folders. Well if it makes KAV happy, lol. As long as it’s doing it’s job. Let’s all be thankful we aren’t using Norton, we’d be scanning until next Sunday and it would only find 2. ;D
Paul
I actually think it might have got bored and started scanning additiona folders, besides the one I told it to. ;D
Well it’s still better than Norton. That scan is like towing cars with a tricycle. Darn my legs hurt!
Paul
I can vouch with you on that, Shifter. I used Norton for years until, like everyone else in the Comodo Forum, I found CPF, and dumped Norton. Norton is far to heavy an application, absurbed a lot of my System Resources and was useless to the point of no return. And to think, Norton is coming out with Norton 360 at the latter of February that will include everything but the kitchen sink. PC’s will be slow as a turtle. Presently, I am using CPF, and Avast 4.7, that is, until the absolute final release of CAVS. Avast, though, I find to be an excellent virus application. I’m wondering if it’s possible to have two virus applications installed and have double the protection.
Kevin
Yessir, you are correct. I have removed over 10 nortons in not too long a time period from people’s computers. They are more than happy with the results. They say it’s like a whole new pc. Also, for all it’s glory , it wouldn’t detect a darn thing, I couldn’t believe it, it was worse than ever. It should be called Norton OS. That’s basically what it is . It integrates so far into the pc that it becomes another OS and impossible to work around. I install CFP , CAV, or Avast on many pcs after removal and people are VERY happy.
Paul
You know, prior to finding CPF, I was using Norton Internet Security 2007. The error messages I received upon reboot and/or shutdown was unspeakable. NIS 2007 is absolutely flawed. Never in the years I used NIS did I experience the problems, as I did with NIS 2007. Everytime I wrote Technical Support about the issue, it was a bloody nightmare just to get the problem resolved. Finally, after getting nowhere with the Tech Department, I literally sent the disk back to Norton (via regular mail), stating my reasons, and requested a full refund. I did receive a cheque from Norton and, once received, bid my farewells to Norton. Norton is really hurting bad these days. Now with Microsoft’s Windows Live One Care on the maket, Norton has a lot of competition against them. I’ve been using CPF, and Avast ever since.
And it’s only their own fault. A friend of my wife is dropping here Norton subscription as soon as it runs out in a couple of weeks. I had thrown Avast on it when finding 79 trojan\virus\malwares and she couldn’t believe how much better it was. I am goading her into CAV but because she has heard of Avast she wants it which why she wouldn’t try CAV to begin with. She never heard of Comodo she said. lolll. Don’t some people realize that these other companies weren’t here since the dawn of human kind? She is a stickler for what she wants no matter what I say but getting her to not want norton was a task in itself so now all that’s left is CAV and CFP. She thinks XP firewall is the best because it has MS attached to it’s name. Yikes. I’ll get her to switch to Comodo yet. It’s really a lack of understanding and trusting in big names which is even more sad but Comodo will be the biggest name one day and is on some sites. (V)
Paul
Ever since my first PC which had Norton pre-installed, and which I formatted to get rid of it, I have lived by the wise words of an MS MVP I trust: “Norton has no customers, only victims”.
You know, I used to help in the microsoft forums and I would see them tell people to not use norton as would I and some would not believe them, lol. Like they were being purposely lied to or something. HELLO, these are MVPs telling you not to use it. Well, glad someone listened.
Paul
XP Firewall “the best…” Dah…we’re not in Bedrock. It’s simply a matter of “each to his/her own liking.” As for me, I will continue to use Avast for the time being. Avast is good. There’s no question about that. However, once Comodo has a rock solid antivirus application, bye-bye Avast, hello CAVS. How ever long it takes Comodo to develop an antivirus application that is above reproach to its high-end priced competitors, is fine by me. I’m in no hurry. And neither should anyone else. I somewhat feel, though, from reading the forums, that Comodo is trying to rush to get the final application out just to appease its members. And that doesn’t settle well with me. If it takes another six months before the absolute final version is released, I’m willing to wait. Comodo shouldn’t feel pressured because member’s of the forum are in a hurry to have a full-featured virus application.
Kevin
No truer said, Maxqnz. I absolutely agree! (:CLP)
Kevin
More truth spoken. I am not sure how much Comodo is rushing it, perhaps they are, I truly couldn’t say but what I see a lot of is people getting mad if a new version isn’t out right away but then get furious if it doesn’t work right, lol. When you want your cake and eat it too, you get an upset stomach I guess. Nice to know you have those patience for this. I don’t have patience by any means but for something like CFP, I can wait and happy with current version. Sure it’s excitement but I want the team to feel at ease and that I am not unhappy because it’s not done “right now”. Not that they would feel at ease just from me, lolll , but you get my point.
Paul
I applaud you for sharing my opinion. I’ve read the furious remarks by Comodo Member’s and it’s dishearting, to say the least, that everyone is such a rush to go nowhere. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Let Comodo develop a truly fine antivirus application, and we, the members of Comodo Forum, go with the flow. How is it possible for the Comodo team to feel at ease when the Comodo Forum is all up in arms against them. Who cares when the final release come out!? I just want an application that I’ll be proud to use. And if it’s not until another six/eight months, to reiterate, I’m willing to wait. In the meantime, Comodo has my support.
Kevin
There’s an interesting parallel in my own experiences here. It is the reverse of what’s happening with CAVS, really. I have used Kaspersky AV for a while now, and consider it to the Rolls-Royce of AVs, well worth the money. However, when I started looking aronud for Firewalls, I fonud that theirs was almost universally slated as bloated rubbish. That’s how I came to find Xomodo. Just as Kaspersky is apparently having trouble branching out beyond its initial field of excellence, so too is Comodo. The mark of a good company is when it either (a) gets the new product right, or (b) realises that it should stop trying to re-invent the wheel and go back to doing what it does best. Either course is fine, and neither reflects badly on the company.
True. I agree with your opinion shared. However, if Comodo rushes to get the final release of CAVS launched just to appease its members, producing a half-■■■ application, then Comodo’s reputation is at stake. The reviews on the final release of CAVS should be on the same level as the current CPF Pro, which is excellent.
Kevin
Yep. Solution - strictly limited beta releases, only to tech-savvy users who can contribute to the app.s development, and tell everybody else that the wait will be worth it.
You hit the nail right on the head. The problem is everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and, as a result, creating havoc for the Comodo team, either because their knowledge in limited, and/or they are inexperienced in knowing how to beta test a product.
Kevin
I must say I don’t agree.
Let everyone try the betas, and let everyone contribute.
However, the official CAVS website makes it feel as if it’s a full-fledged release. Comodo should have a Header 2 bold disclaimer saying
“THIS OBJECT IS STILL IN BETA. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.”
I’m using CAVS Beta 2 and it’s working fine for me.
Hi , I agree with all of you. I will say though that Comodo does state it is only beta but that is not always enough. The wider range of people you can get to use a beta product though, the better as so many systems differ in so many ways. This is why MS finally did this with Vista, although I am NO Vista fan, still the only thing they did right was allow many users to test it so they don’t need VS1-VS2 service packs in the long run. On the other hand, not all users know how to correctly test a beta product and those with experience give more thorough results but would lack in wide results. So I think you have to take the bad in order to get the good too. Or I haven’t had enough coffee yet. :o
Paul
Not to break out of this, but this is a link to virus gr , this does tests and I found that I have to go by the PC cillin as I have trend micro engine so my Vcom has Pccillin basically according to them . These are their results…
