Which Product to develop next?

How bout an e-mail client with some of your products imbedded in it? (:NRD)

A really common problem with security software is conflicts with other software. Sometimes people try to run several security programs at once and even ordinary software can mess up operations. A solution to this would be nice. Possibly some kind of process monitor that can log operations when the system is tied up in knots would do it. If conflicts can be identified with certainty, it may be possible to write (Generate automatically?) exclusion rules that might avoid the problem. Even if that does not work, the source of the problem would be discoverable and thus fixable - even if it requires an update. This would have uses for other conflicts as well. Once the source of conflicts is known, we can start yelling at the authors! (:WIN)

An IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) with the ability to write ones OWN IPS RULES or modify existing rules similar (or I would say EXACTLY like) eeye digital security’s SUPERIOR Blink™ Intrusion Prevention system which has recently bowed to market pressure and is slowly becoming a ■■■■ BLOATED “all-in-one” solution. Blink (www.eeye.com) uses unique method of so-called “pre-emptive” defense for network based attacks such as unknown/undiscovered “zero-day” buffer overflows.

Also, Blink does NOT support Vista or any x64 based architectures (yet). This is a problem for us since our Windows based servers MUST be x64 to prevent choking on our current system-loads. But even if they weren’t, it wouldn’t matter since the Blink Server product is ultra expensive (from what I understand).

Alternatively, we’d like to see an application based on the snort (www.snort.org) engine which is actually PAINLESS to setup/configure/maintain. There has NEVER in 10+ years of snort’s existence been available a half-way decent front-end that made snort easy to install and configure on Win32.

Basically a lightweight ULTRA-powerful IPS that can beat eeye’s product and that WILL NOT be overwhelmed with bloat in less then 1000 builds…

Hi just joined. I first tried this product over 3 years ago and was not impressed but have come back to it and must admit it has come a long way, very impressive and free too.

As for a suggestion in new software, a program similar to System Mechanic with the firewall-antivirus-etc included would be excellent.

just my opinion. :BNC

How about concentrating on getting products currently in active development such as CAVS up to industry specs so that it competes with the consistently performing products in this segment of the market. You have proven that you can do this with Comodo Firewall so why not with CAVS?

The raft of applications that Comodo seems to be developeing looks impressive but I’ll take quality over quantity any day. I would hate to see Comodo become another Ashampoo which produces a mind numbing array of products with only a couple of stand out products among them.

I would think of the following:
a full security suite that includes the following: anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-rootkit, anti-phishing, anti-spam, mail protection, cach cleaner (similer to ccleaner), proactive web site protection (against embeded viruses), firewall, password encryption. and the most important a virtual session creator that works better than Green Box or Zone Labs new software that creates virtual sessions. But try to make it as intellegant and easy to use as possible, because users are lasy to learn how to use a security program, so make it as easy as ABC.

I have seen such an anti-everything recently in the form of Kaspersky Internet Security. That is a configuration nightmare and I’d really be happy if Comodo provided the parts individually.
Regarding the topic Comodo Suite vs. Single Comodo Components there has already been a topic with a poll IIRC.

Melih,

Thanks for the excellent products! (:CLP)

I intend to replace my PC with a Mac. :THNK

Will Comodo develop products for Mac OS X? (:KWL)

(V)

of course… but not in the short term.

  1. A time machine
  2. A time machine with firewall

:slight_smile:

So, a time machine that wouldn’t go back in time (because paradoxes are generally recognised as being somewhat bad for your health) and will not be persuaded to go forward in time any faster than realtime (because of the obvious dangers). :slight_smile:

A time machine that displays the past is already invented anyway!!!

Its a Mirror!!!
You can never see now… you always see the past :wink:

You guys are making it tough to think up security software improvements with your new firewall, but I have an “assume the worst” approach to malware and so there is room for a “system restore” utility. Ideally, it would restore the boot sector, rebuild the file record, restore the registry, boot and system files and user-designated files. It would also have the ability to read these directly from disk without calls to the operating system and the ability to reload a saved and protected copy of the kernel files into system memory. The last item would be needed to flush kernel (or is that user?) level malware out before doing the restore (rootkits would make it hard to do the restore if they were left in place misdirecting file system traffic). To help track down the malware install, a list of installations that altered the registry would be useful as well.

Yes I would agree with the need for a product like this…
:slight_smile:

Melih

good idea. i always want a T-rex ;D

Yes, sort of a free disk imaging tool to restore the system to an earlier state would be nice but a heavy workload for the dev team.

That would be nice but in the meantime there is a free disk imaging utility called DriveImageXML

DriveImage XML Backup Software — Data Recovery :■■■■

I am using a couple of disk imaging programs, including DriveImageXML. The System restore function that I was suggesting is designed to root out root kits and boot sector viruses without having to restore your computer to an earlier version - possibly losing some data or software or configuration effort. The only problem with imaging software is that you have to use it fairly often for optimum security and it takes a bit of time to do its job. The result is that most people have old images and maybe even no images. It would also allow a fairly small set of data to restore most of the hard drive’s functionality. Once the hiding places for this malware have been sanitized, so that they cannot start, a virus scan can locate the files that are left over so that they can be removed. Most of the tools that I suggest already exist, but they are command line DOS utilities and the procedure has to be done in the right order using records that you have to be able to locate from the DOS command line. A bootable disk or USB key drive with the backup data on it should be able to do this restore procedure almost automatically.

Well, this one was and still is the very best:

really sad they don’t sell it anymore…

especially for those who don’t have it yet.

R.I.P.

i’d like to see a competant I.E./Firefox history/temp file cleaner, with support for various programs, basically a program that gets rid of all evidence of what you did on your pc, which would be great for the office or shared computers.
