Excellent GUI, excellent options.
Unfortunately, it has a very slow and quirky scanning engine.It took FOREVER to scan my very fast Raptor 74gb HDD on a blazing fast 3.2ghz Core2 Duo machine! When it hits a corrupted file, it stalls, and you must start over. GRRRR! If you have below average hardware, expect to have a few cups of coffee while waiting for the initial scan to finish. The program folder size is absolutely huge, which is unfortunately becoming a trademark of Comodo.
HIPS will drive you nuts until it gets to know your apps, which is not surprising. I mean, you have to tell it that MAXTHON is safe, for goshsakes. Fortunately, HIPS can be deactivated if you wish, with some sacrifice in security. A GLARING weakness is the absence of an easy option to ignore false hits (or hits that are not false, but you know are harmless). In other words, it needs a whitelist that is easy to access. For example, I get a hit on a password revealer that I use occasionally in case I forget a password on a web page. I want to tell it to ignore that file, but must jump through hoops to do so. Also, the existing popup to "allow" an unknown file does not work. I guess I have "Permanently Allowed" the Maxthon2 and Ashampoo Firewall a hundred times!
I hope the above issues are remedied in later betas, because I really like the GUI and tray applet. Overall, the program shows great promise. |
