Install Comodo Internet Security 2022 and disable the components you don't need.

Install Comodo Internet Security 2022 and disable the components you don't need.

This is not a good solution for me. Thanks for the suggestion though I only want the Firewall installed and nothing else.

I rather just go back to my full BIS/BTS install rather than disabling components I don't want after they have been installed.

Edit
I am running a new windows install so wanted to try out CFW on its own before doing a BTS install which I already have subs for.

I haven't used Comodo for years, how is it currently, is it comparable to Eset, is there any AV comparison where I can see the results?

Ideal for geeks, not ideal for general public, imo.

Comodo's signature-based detection is one of the worst in the world. Sandboxing and HIPS are its selling points.

Use it for firewall and sandbox, that would be better. Ms defender is way better than comodo's anti virus module.

For all those that use CF (obviously good looking intelligent Security Pros), note that so far a new build of CF has not been released as just the CIS Pro version (12.2.3.8026) is out- and with this one, unlike those in the past, does not allow the installation of only the Firewall.

But no rush as the current CF is just dandy the way it is., so let the rookies work through new builds

Just want to confirm that CF build in the new CIS Pro version (12.2.3.8026) will be the same has running the CF offline setup linked in this support forum?

Been using the updated version for a little while. There aren't really any changes apart from calling itself Pro now instead of Premium (tiny bit of UI) but no release notes at all. it's still free despite the change of name. The installer only gives CIS and ISE as the components but you can always just download the Firewall if that's what you use from here: Comodo Firewall | Get Best Personal Firewall Software for $29.99 A Year or their forum link.

There have been reassurances from devs that work is being done on the various bugs but no roadmap or timescale. But Comodo has always relied on Containment. Signatures aren't everything in terms of detection and a lot of it's bult in features protect you well, particularly with @cruelsister 's config.

I've been using it for a few months this year and off and on since CFW 2.0 but I do think there needs to be some regular development/communication. Comodo is out in testing world in Enterprise products primarily so Enterprise products seem to be their priority. I get frustrated when there is lack of any news and with no update for over a year is disconcerning though I believe it's default-deny / containment technology. My alternative setup is with @Andy Ful 's Hard_Configurator which is another form of defaul-deny though MD is heavier on my system.

Anyway, a bit off topic there. Updated version is as far as we know just UI to CIS Pro. No information on the CFW element being updated so far.

P.S. there are Light versions and Full versions of CIS's database. One is about half the size or less of the other and the light version is enabled by default but you can download the full version simply by changing the option to Use Full Signature base in settings though I've heard this can affect performance a little.

It is curious how they say in the post above that in the Comodo forums they hardly talk about the new version

Installing this later today, hoping for changelog

 

[ItsReallyMe]

is disabling antivirus component make it firewall only? will it interfere with KIS?

Runs fine but no sign of any release notes anywhere that I can find.

 

[ErzCrz]

You can do that but the full product is still installed. I think there are a few things you need to turn off besides just AV real-time and whitelist each other I believe.

Seems that the difference between the new CIS Pro (12.2.3.8026) and the former CIS Premium is the inclusion of Geek Buddy and that CIS Pro requires licensing (with a 30 day free trial). After the 30 days and the absence of a license key a popup will present informing the user that the trial has expired. One can then either input a license key or click an option to downgrade to the free version (CIS Premium 12.2.3.8026) which is done both seamlessly and immediately.

In the brief dance I've had with this new version I haven't noted any differences in neither the sandbox, script analysis nor the firewall versus the current CF build (12.2.2.8012). As I consider these things being the strength of Comodo, "New" in this case really only means different and not superior. My suggestion for those just wanting CF is to stay with the current CF and wait for an official upgrade path.

And if I test it? It's been a while since I've seen Comodo

 

[cruelsister]

To be fair it would be best to leave everything at default. Regarding Containment, the difference between default level and my preferred Restricted is really too subtle (and too inconsequential) to be appreciated in a quick test. Athough you may choose to disable the HIPS as it could be a pain to deal with depending on how you would test (also even my cat can bypass HIPS modules, so no great loss there).
