Hi everyone,
Due to a recent detection of some network issues related to latest CCS release (v11.2.0.7313), we have just rolledback the available CCS build to the previous version (v11.1.0.7259) on Endpoint Manager until a hot fix is deployed. Engineering team is on the issue right now and preparing the fix.
Following announcements will be done under this topic.
Thank you for your understanding.
Comodo CyberSecurity Team
The endpoints that have CCS v11.1.0.7259 installed will not be affected at all.
However, the users who upgraded CCS agent on their endpoints since the last Saturday will have to remove it and install it again. This action may require reboot based on the reboot policy defined in the related profiles.
Our understanding of the issue is that you either have to uninstall CCS on devices with the latest version and install the older version; or disable your firewall until the fix is ready which leaves you and your clients at a higher security risk than normal.
Yes, you are right. Although disabling Firewall module seems helpful, we strongly recommend to downgrade the agent and keep using it with all functionalities for security purposes.
I understand the implications of disabling the firewall, but as I rolled out 11.2 of CCS to all my clients today, a site visit to every client is impossible… My very temporary work around is to disable the firewall in the default profile until either a fix is a vailable or I can arrange a site visit to all affected clients. What a disaster
One step forward and two step back - seems to be the comodo way lately.
This is not the first time the client is bad and it has been bad for us.
Like Ed said above - “what a disaster”
The really bad part is the only way we know about this is to follow the forum.
Insane that Comodo does not notify us like every single software company does.
I used to be excited about updates to Comodo but not anymore.
its like “what will break this time”.
You don’t necessarily have to visit every device to remove CCS and re-install it. We have these two scripts that you can run through Endpoint Manager - Procedures:
My post was regarding devices already affected by 11.2 that had lost their connection. You cant remotely run procedures or disable the firewall on a device that is no longer connected to the internet.
Disable FW, then get clients to reboot computer as this after about 30 minutes disables the firewall and restores connection so you can remove the virus… I mean buggy V11.2
As posted of @Can on #1 we have just rolledback the available CCS build to the previous version (v11.1.0.7259) on Endpoint Manager until a hotfix is deployed. Rest assured that our Development team is working on this and support team will get in touch with you via email to keep you posted.
The idea of the script to remove the security client is good for those systems that I still can connect to, however, the script does not work.
I have tried the script to reboot as well as the script without rebooting.
The following are the results in the log. On a side note it’s nice that it says finished successfully however, it’s not very useful that it successfully thinks the security client is not installed.

Well, I fixed my issue with the script not being able to uninstall. Turns out if you’ve branded the installation to your company, you have to use that branded name. In my case, the brand name is “Akornn Client -Security”
After I went into the script and edited the text of the name it’s trying to uninstall, then the uninstall worked perfectly.
