We are very excited to announce that COMODO Internet Security 2011, COMODO Antivirus 2011 and COMODO Firewall 2011 have just been released!

What's New In COMODO Internet Security 2011?

THANKS! COMODO would like to thank the beta testers whose feedback made this release possible!

Cloud Based Infrastructure:
2011 family of products(Yes COMODO Firewall too!) are now armed with cloud based file rating technologies. The cloud computation, enabled by default, is used for a variety of purposes.(Do not be surprized if COMODO Firewall gives you a malware alert!!!).

With cloud computation;

* Cloud based Whitelisting: Safe files and trusted vendors are now easily identified. The concept of “Trusted Publisher� is now cloud based.
* Cloud based Anti virus: Malicious files are detected even if the users do not have an up-to-date antivirus product or an antivirus product at all.
* Cloud Based Behaviour Analysis: Zero-day malware can be detected INSTANTLY by COMODO’s cloud based behavior analysis system CIMA(Comodo Instant Malware analysis).


Extended Spyware Scanning
COMODO’s vision and focus has been about “keeping a clean computer clean� from early days. Now that We have achieved that COMODO is focusing on “cleaning an already infected computer�. This is why we extended the spyware scanning in COMODO Internet Security 2011 and COMODO Antivirus 2011 and now include a new spyware scanner which is capable of scanning the windows registry and computer disks for the signs of malware infection.
This new scanner is implemented to improve the detection and successful cleaning rate of already infested systems.

Game Mode
2011 family of products are now gamer friendly security applications. When they are put into the game mode, the operations that can interfere with users’ gaming experience such as alerts or resource intensive virus database updates, scheduled scans are suppressed.

Stronger and Smarter Application Control
2011 family of products have a highly smart application control mechanism which extends the functionality of the previous versions.
The new application control provides the users the ability to lockdown their computers such that only the known good applications can be executed.
The new sandbox introduces a new default application isolation level, partially limited, which improves the compatibility with many windows products.

Nowadays, a lot of malware come in other forms than standalone executables. For example, some come in the form of visual basic scripts while some come in the form of java binaries. When they come in such forms, they are executed by “interpreter� applications such as wscript.exe or java.exe etc.
2011 family of products can identify such applications heuristically and detect the real file behind the requests of “interpreters�.

Vivek, we would appreciate if rather than posting this much, you can just provide the link to the page, from which you took the matter. People can read what is on the page themselves. The way you have posted it right now, seems that you are from the Comodo team.

Or, along with posting of the matter, you provide the link to the page. This is also important because of copyright issues.

Your post also contained links to direct download of files, because of which I had to remove that portion. I would like to see a link to the page instead please. Would be much appreciated.

Looks interesting but people are reporting a number of bugs right off the bat on the original comodo topic. I kind of still want to try it out though and have liked comodo products that I have tried in the past. Thanks.

Win 7, x64, 3.5GB RAM, AMD Dual Core, 2.00GHz, MBAM Active
CIS first scan - VERY high processor usage (around 100%) - computer almost completely unusable while the scan is running...

[Av_Crazy]

by first scan do u mean full system scan ?

i jave not done full system scan yet
i have done spyware scan and crititcal areas scan
spyware scan completed in 15 seconds
critical areas scan took much time and computer usage was between 30 percent to 100 percent but i was able to do other things

Yeap! Full system scan...very high processor usage. But first scan is generally different from other scans.. so will try another full scan and report back.
