    Let's be more specific then: have fun running any game from the last ten years at anything better than 10 seconds per frame. It's not about not liking your comment, get over your fucking persecution complex. It's about you being an idiot who doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. Yeah, in theory you are right. In practice, well, let's just say the grown-ups here can tell you've never even tried what you espouse. This isn't even a Windows vs. Linux thing. I'm a Linux sysadmin, I was using it when you were still shitting yourself, sport. I use Linux for nearly everything. Everything except games. Some of us like our games a bit more complex than minesweeper and solitaire.

    Fucking recent Linux converts piss me off. "Blahblahblah windows sux, linux rox, it can do anything!" yeah, yeah, we know, we were all sixteen and just discovering open source once, too.

    I have to call bullshit, because I have been running CIS for two years now, game all the fucking time, and honestly? I've never turned Comodo off or done jack shit to it and it works just fine. If there is some game that is calling hooks deep enough for CIS to raise an alarm I'd be wondering WTF is that game doing, because CoD, every MoH, F.E.A.R plus expansions, Far Cry, a ton of games from GOG, more games from the Amazon bargain bin than I can count and...nothing, zip zilch nada squat.

    And you don't need "training mode" for squat. I have NEVER used training mode, it is frankly pointless unless you have a bunch of weird apps calling on crazy ports or .DLLs. If you really want this game, here is what you do...put in on the Whitelist. Tada! That's it! Just that simple. If you trust that game you can put it on the whitelist and comodo won't say another word.

    Finally it isn't snake oil dude, as I have sen its results with my own two peepers. I have relatives that can infect an XP box as quick as you can say "Bangkok Whore" and have customers that surf sites and click on links from emails that would make any IT guy cry. Since switching from AVG to Comodo, you know how many bugs I have had to clean off their PCs? None. Zip, nada squat. Just make sure you put it on a clean PC and choose stateful, along with a heuristics level of medium and you are golden.

    But if you'll look at your own link it was written by some guest and NOT the Comodo team, so I would trust his bullshit about as much as I would those "speed up your games!" hacks. I've been gaming hard with comodo running 24/7 and never saw a black screen, blue screen, any screen but the game screen, and I've played most of the biggies. I just wonder how many of those "black Screen + Comodo" that you linked to are using dodgy NO-CD/DVD cracks and fucking their games up. Many of those frankly ain't worth a shit and will make a game VERY unstable.

    I have handed out CIS to a good 200+ folks, among then folks from all walks including many gamers, and I have NEVER had a bit of trouble or a single complaint about CIS, which is more than I can say for AVG, Avast, Norton, hell I've seen and tried them all, and for me and my customers and relatives Comodo Internet Security just works. BTW this is being typed from a machine that has been up for nearly 2 years with CIS going, only reboots for windows updates. Not a single problem with Comodo.
