1170033	2011-01-16 02:15:00	Hi Guys Been experimenting with a great little program lately. It's purpose is to quickly restore your computer back to an earlier time with a simple reboot and a single press of a key after a virus or malware attack, even when the system won't boot to Windows!! How many times do we see on this forum questions how to recover from such attacks? There's gotta be a better way. There is. Words of caution first. Make sure you have at least 4-10 gig of free hard drive space available. If you don't, don't install. Simple. Try to anyway and you will get problems. Before installation get your computer running correctly. This will be the Baseline. This utility is in addition to, not instead of, your existing AntiVirus. It does make Window Restore Points redundant so you can turn them off to save space. Should you need to uninstall make sure you use the program's control panel. Yes, there are other programs that do a simlar job but how many have the magic word free? Yeah 100% FREE!! If you are happy manually recovering from a virus/malware attack then don't bother with this program - your existing system is just fine. If not and you want to protect your computer fully install the COMODO TIME MACHINE (www.comodo.com) before its too late. An excellent User's Manual can be downloaded from HERE (www.comodo.com).

1170035	2011-01-17 09:12:00	Hi Bevy If you look around the internet, people who are having problems are the very ones who do not cater for the Comodo Time Machine's minimum requirements, hence my words of caution . I too, did a lot of research on this . Remember reading in one forum from one guy who uninstalled the program incorrectly then complained that Comodo Time Machine - "screwed up his system"!! At the end of the day it's up to you . My weapon of choice is a Toshi Lappie and the Time Machine has already proven to be stable, extremely easy to operate and a piece of mind . Comodo have a very good reputation in anti-virus . As I download and test a lot of freeware - when a program won't install properly or there is some other problem a simple reboot, press of the Home key and I'm back in business . Even though the Toshi is easy to restore with the back up DVD, it takes time and does not replace the other programs or any of my data . Wouldn't be without the Comodo Time Machine now . As the guy from Dimah says, "Do try it!!' BURNZEE	Burnzee (6950)
1170036	2011-01-17 09:19:00	Comodo have a very good reputation in anti-virus. Thats debatable as well. Seen lots of PC's that have Comodo, full of infections. Have also had to repair many PC's and Laptops that have been screwed up by Comodo's Antivirus/ Firewall. It used to be OK, then it started giving lots of problems.(and still is) If the program (time Machine) works OK for you then thats good -- happy I suspect. But to be fair - I'll download it, deliberately screw windows so I know it wont boot, and see if it does what it claims. :D	wainuitech (129)
1170037	2011-01-17 09:33:00	Hi Wainuitech Be very interested in your experiment. To be fair take a snapshot before yah screw Windows. Let us know how yah get on. BURNZEE	Burnzee (6950)
1170038	2011-01-17 09:45:00	I would have no problem creating an image as a baseline and restoring that for example with free software. Where you can fall over is if your motherboard dies and you need to replace same with a different one then then an image will not work anyway. Therefore you also backup data and do a complete reformat as an alternative. I take it time machine would not work if you change the hardware?	Snorkbox (15764)
1170039	2011-01-17 09:56:00	Hi Snorkbox Sorry, don't know the answer to your question why don't you ask Comodo? Their support people would be only too happy to hear from you. BURNZEE	Burnzee (6950)
1170040	2011-01-17 10:11:00	Hi Snorkbox Sorry, don't know the answer to your question why don't you ask Comodo? Their support people would be only too happy to hear from you. BURNZEE Why would I ask Comodo? You are the one that says it does wonders. I will continue to rely on the backup strategy I have used for some time now. I have not had to use it much but when I have had to use same it has worked. You can, of course, use what you like.	Snorkbox (15764)
1170041	2011-01-17 10:32:00	Hi Snorkbox Thought you had a genuine interest in the answer for your question. If you want to criticize that's fine. :groan::groan: Why would I ask Comodo? You are the one that says it does wonders. What I have written is to explain the program works as claimed. It is not a replacement for proper back-up procedures and I have never said it was. Look on it this way, The Comodo Time Machine is just another layer of protection for your system. It is not and was never intended to be, an all bells and whistles answer to all computer problems. Sorry you saw it that way. Even with the link Bevy gave me, the author states, "I believe Comodo Time Machine is a great program". So do I. BURNZEE	Burnzee (6950)
1170042	2011-01-17 10:43:00	I did ask a genuine question and you do not know the answer apparently. I have had to fix Comodo software in the past mostly firewall/antivirus stuff and therefore I am somewhat suspicious. But as said. If you are happy then put said software on your PC. I don't mind either way.	Snorkbox (15764)
