thanks for the update

Thank you. this version is works on windows 8.1 :showoff:

[stylemessiah]

Unless theyve fixed the GUI, and rolled it back to the useful v5 one, they can stop updating it......the current version is what happens when you let someone who thinks theyre a "designer" loose on an already fucntional product and put usability as a second tier....

Ruined by the GUI

[ramiz0]

Dunno IDM shows data corruption error when downloading this

[freeforever03]

I just updated and everything is working well. Thanks.

[Nastrahl]

Why caring about the GUI you won't see anymore after setting up the program once ?

Edit : Plus, it must be a lot of bugs/exploits fixed now.

I agree, I stopped using this some months back myself.

I don't know what's wrong with the interface! For those who are a little confused with it, you can take a look here. Maybe it helps to clarify some things. Thank you for the update by the way. :)

[Sonar]

thanks for the update :) downloaded & installed.

GUI seems fine to me - but did take a while to get used to.

[stylemessiah]

I only want the firewall, not all the other crap, but even just the firewall program separately (in which i turn off defense+ and auto sandboxing because i still dont want that crap, and in which i also remove the trusted lists during install) has been ruined by that gui

Got CIS to install on my server2012 r2 and she is working great. Finally a stable version I can use.

Thanks much for the update.

I've been against this GUI since it was shown in the screenshots. Having said, the "Advanced View" removes some pain out of it.

I've stuck with V. 5 but I'm getting increasingly nervous about the degree to which it must be outdated by now -- particularly when using it with Win 8. Now that you mention this "advanced view" I may give it a try.... though I must admit, 1) I am skeptical and, 2) I wish there was some new alternative that offered an interface I like along with the reliability I've become accustomed to.

This is advanced view:

Nothing spectacular, ground-breaking or game changing. But it's something I want so I'm happy with it.

[RobrPatty]

Got it Thanks

@DKT27 --

Honestly, I was hoping by "advanced" you were talking a wee bit more advanced.....

I think we need some coding ace who can create a shell or skin for Comodo that brings it back to its former sense of awesomeness. Sort of like those programs for Office that get rid of the ribbon and take you back to how things used to be.

Has anyone spotted any info around on reliability issues for Comodo firewall V. 5 when used with Win 8? I'm just wondering what type of problems you may be getting into by continuing to use V. 5 with an OS for which it was never intended. Frankly, and with respect, that "advanced" view you posted doesn't quite do it for me.

That's the reason I posted the pic, to make things clear. :)

I think one of the v5 had officially supported Windows 8. Try finding the changelogs.

Personally however, when it comes to security I prefer using the latest, as we don't use security programs for it's GUI or interface, but for the security they offer.

Thanks DKt27 for taking the time to point out the advanced view and posting the screenshot

Its better than the earlier v6 versions, but still, theyve been a bit like Microsoft with Windows 8, plenty of users told them they got it wrong, but at least Comodo have budged a little....

Cheers, based on the new advanced view i *may* install it...my PC died in stages while i was away housesitting for 5 weeks...every teamviewer login brought some new tale of woe about this bit of hardware, until i got the dreaded:

Gotta love S.M.A.R.T...remember the days when you got NO warning?

And being a week and many hundreds of kilometres from home i couldnt plug in an external drive to backup, so was praying for the PC and most importantly the drive to last until i got home yesterday. Luckily got all the data off, and now setting up a fresh new PC

So i may give it a go on my new system...

Still using the dying one, to write this while install Win 7 on the replacement... im approaching it like a game at the moment, seeing how long i can use it before the drive REALLY goes! :)

You are welcome. :)

Reason why Comodo budged is that it doesn't seem to have a fixed stance or a strategy, unlike Microsoft who has decided to push their ugly UI till the very last phone / PC / tablet is filled with the respected most ugliness.

SMART, well, I always pray the SMART tells me beforehand whenever my HDD is going to fail. However, how many times have you heard about SMART actually helping / warning before these type of stuff occurs?

Tell me, are you sure it isn't just bad sectors? Have you tried chkdsk or HDD Regenerator?

No props for Windows to notify you about the problem? :D

Anyway, all the best.

Youre right about MS, i was hoping since Ballmer got the boot they might see sense and fix everyones ONLY issue with 8, the "modern" (productivity draining) GUI and no start menu, so simple to fix, would buy them some goodwill, but no...if i were running a business and a couple of million trillion people complained about something so easy to fix, i would just, well, fix it. I think theyre still under the illusion that they can have an ecosystem like Apples...phone tablet and PC...and as ive said many times on here, here in australia ive yet to meet ANYONE who has a windows phone, ever. Ive also never met anyone who has been silly enough to buy a surface tablet. They should just realise that plans never going to work and get back to their core business, which isnt trying to satisfy the whims of the"trendy" people who want a fumblepad so they can look hip on the train or bus on the way to work....their core business is the desktop....perhaps i should email them and point out the obvious....

Dont worry smart has let me down before, but since its being very very nice to me this time, im not going to even whisper "youve screwed me before you bastard" while im in the same room as th drive.

As for chkdsk etc, yes i tried that and also sfc /scannow which both confirm data corruption which it couldnt repair.

Using a smart interpretor tool i could see the reallocation levels were the cause so theres definitely drama there.

As for Regenerator, i do have a copy, but with this many issues, im not even going to bother, this drive is (almost) dead to me :)

I had been expecting the worst and for it to be dead before i got home. I left the PC set up before i left 5 weeks ago to turn on (via BIOS power management RTV Alarm) at 7pm, and then via Wise Auto Shutdown at 9pm, giving myself a 2 hour window at nights (in case i was working late) to get in and set my IDM a list of stuff to download. Of course if i was downloading a lot id cancel the Wise Auto Shutdown and let IDM handle it. so those errors appeared a week ago and then i lost the ability to connect via teamviewer reliably and then not at all, so just assumed it had gone bye byes

So i was feeling much better when i got home last night and pulled off about 90Gb of data i couldnt live without successfully by opening the files and then using FastCopy (my fave copy tool) to verify the copies.

So i cant complain now, im just trying to see how long before it goes tits up on me, it may live on for days yet :)

As for giving windows props for notifying me, okay, but its kind of like giving props to the girl who reads out the lotto results, shes only passing along the news, she didnt choose the numbers :)

[DKT27]

Ballmer said Windows isn't a money making machine anymore. So obviously they are looking for other alternatives, hence this UI push. However, one, they are biggest fools of the earth to think that this fullscreen GUI is going to lead them anywhere.

Another thing that I hate is that, people blindly like the UI, only because Microsoft made it. These people have no idea of a good design and do not want to look at different options / opinions. And I'm not even speaking about fanboys.

As for HDD Regenerator, well, I had managed to keep my previous HDD working for atleast a month or two after using it.

As for Windows, imagine this. Your computer doesn't boot, you have no idea why, then you later come to know your PC's HDD has failed, and you have lost all your data with it. Now, didn't Windows do a good job of notifying you about it? :)
