Comodo Leak Test 190/340

[EchoX860]

Hmm, can't decide if I should use Norton AV/Comodo or just NIS

It depends on what level of computer security you want because there's a big difference in both cost and protection rendered.

~Maxx~

You said I was SAFE! lol

 

[CanIHaz]

you are safe going with either one. both are good security suite and combo. just depends on your comfort level with leaks. matousec is more of a HIPS test than a firewall.

 

[CanIHaz]

i forgot comodo has a sandbox. to get a perfect score, you got to disable comodo sandbox.

 

[EchoX860]

Still got 190. I'm done with the CLT. It's pissing me off

 

[CanIHaz]

did you switch the configuration to Proactive Security? if you did and ran CLT again, you should block anything that pops up while running CLT and it should give you a better score. Remember to disable sandbox for the test.

 

[EchoX860]

Oh, I just kept clicking "Allow". 330/340.

Yes that would explain your low scores then. The idea is to not allow/block when the pop ups appear. Glad you finally figured it out though.

I removed Comodo as well and restored back to a system image. I thought that it was just going to be a firewall but it had some sort of process blocker and sand boxing etc that made programs like photoshop stop functioning.

Both Proactive Defense+ HIPS and the Comodo Sandbox are included in the Comodo 5.0 Firewall. You can train HIPS using Training Mode and running your programs one after the other. The Sandbox needs to be trained by telling it not to sandbox programs that you want to run outside the Sandbox by clicking on the 'do not sandbox this program again' option and it will remember your choice. Or if you prefer you can disable both Defense+ HIPS and the Sandbox and run the Comodo Firewall only.

How did Norton do so bad

The Matousec Proactive Security Challenge is a 148 part test of Host Intrusion Prevention Security (HIPS) systems and Norton does not have HIPS.

330/340.

You stuck with it and got a Great score!

I'm trying out Norton Internet Security for 30 days. I disabled it's Firewall so I can continue to use Comodo.

Is there really any difference between NAV and NIS (with it's Firewall disabled)

 

[CanIHaz]

no need to run NIS w/ firewall disable. If you want to run Comodo FW, just run it with NAV. No Difference between NAV and NIS other than the firewall and anti-spam module.

 

[EchoX860]

I'm fine with getting Spam. I don't really care what is in my mailbox as I check it from my iPhone 80% of the time, and if I don't know who it's from, it's deleted.

One more question and I'll leave you alone lol.

I have SAS, when I went into Action Center. It says I have Multiple Anti-Spyware Products running.

Norton AV
Defense+
Defender

It didn't list SAS anywhere in there. Is that right?

 

[CanIHaz]

Yes thats correct. For some odd reason, SAS does not register itself on Action Center on w7. I suggest having Hitman Pro also as an On-Demand scanner. It's a very good security tool to have. Hitman Pro gives you unlimited scanning (scan how many time you want and its also lightning fast) and when it is needed, you can activate the 30-days trial and use it to remove stubborn malwares.

 

[EchoX860]

Is that overkill?

NAV
Comodo Firewall w/ D+
SAS
MBAM

 

[CanIHaz]

You never mention you had Mbam. Thought you only had SAS which is decent but i would replace it with Hitman PRO. It uses 5-6 AV engines to scan in the cloud. Most likely you'll only detect cookies only with SAS if you're a safe browser which Hitman Pro will also detect and remove for free also.

 

[Maxxwire]

I wanted to ask why you were dissatisfied with the 330/340 leak test score you got the other day?

~Maxx~

 

[EchoX860]

I wasn't dissatisfied. I'm always testing new stuff to try and get the Ultimate Protection going.

I think I'm settling with NAV/Comodo

 

[Maxxwire]

I'm always testing new stuff to try and get the Ultimate Protection going. I think I'm settling with NAV/Comodo.

I just installed the new Comodo v5.3 release last night and I wanted to share the results with you that I got on the very first run of the 34 Leak Tests with Comodo 5.3 in Proactive Configuration...

I've been running Comodo for almost 2 years and so far this seems like the best release since the highly respected v3.14. I'd be very interested in knowing the CLT results should you decide to upgrade to v5.3 if you haven't already.
