Hi !
Comodo has released a new version of COMODO Internet Security
“What’s new in 7.0.313494.4115?
Viruscope
Viruscope monitors the activities of processes running on your computer and alerts you if they attempt to take suspicious actions. Apart from forming yet another layer of malware detection and prevention, the sub-system represents a valuable addition to the core process-monitoring functionality of the Behavior Blocker by introducing the ability to reverse potentially undesirable actions of software without necessarily blocking the software entirely. This provides more granular control over otherwise legitimate software which requires certain actions to be taken in order to run correctly. Viruscope works using a constantly expanded list of activity ‘recognizers’, which allow the software to detect, block and undo many potentially unwanted actions.
Website Filtering
The new website filtering section gives CIS users a powerful and easy way to allow or block access to specific websites. Website access rules can be created for particular users of your computer, which makes this feature very useful for both home and work environments.
For example, parents can block juvenile users from visiting inappropriate websites while companies can prevent employees from visiting leisure sites during working hours.
You also have the option to create a log event whenever a user tries to visit a website which is in conflict with a rule. CIS ships with several preset lists (or ‘categories’) of URLs which can be added to rules that you create,
including the ‘Malicious sites category’, the ‘Comodo Safe category’, the ‘Comodo Phishing category’,
and the ‘Comodo Malware category’.UI Update
The CIS user interface features several design and UX enhancements which allow you to accomplish tasks faster while keeping you better informed than ever before.
New themes include the bold new ‘Metro’ theme.
Process Activity Dialog is added.
Added ‘Please call a live expert’ balloon message in main GUI when running into ‘At Risk’ status.
Virtual Kiosk is renamed to Virtual DesktopProtected Data Folder
New data security feature which makes important files completely invisible to programs running in the sandbox.
Files placed inside a ‘Protected Data Folder’ cannot be read, accessed or modified by any sandboxed application.Improved
~700% Faster Sandbox.
All CIS Advanced Settings components are now accessible via CisTray menu.
Windows in ‘grid view’: Improved file search operation and added ‘search completed’ notification;
added ‘Jump to Folder’ option; columns now retain their widths as last changed by the user.
AV Scan results and Rating scan results windows can be viewed in full screen mode.
CIS UI tooltips now correspond to Windows style.

If you want a really good HIPS to protect your computer then get Comodo´s firewall !
Comodo´s firewall got 97% on Matousec´s Proactive Security Challenge 64:
http://www.matousec.com/projects/proactive-security-challenge-64/results.phpI´m running the new version (HIPS only) together with WindowsFirewall on WS2008-R2 right now,
so CIS works on WS2008-R2, and i assume also on WS2012 (-R2).Note: do not try to run the installer after downloading it !
It will detect a server-O/S and abort installation….A hack is needed, and here are the instructions for installation: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=2551
I upgraded to v7 and I have been testing it for a few days.
But I have found some annoyíng bugs:
On windows explorers right-context menu, scan with Comodo Antivirus doesn´t work,
nothing happens, which then of course makes it more complicated to do a scan on fx. some downloaded files.
You can´t add shortcuts to the taskbar on Comodo´s main window.This feels like a “beta”…. 🙁
So you might want to delay installing v7 until Comodo has fixed those bugs.
I have reinstalled v6….
