It can back up to any drive/folder. It can't burn a dvd by itself. So
if you're running sw/an os that makes the dvd look like a writeable
drive yes, otherwise no. (But you can download the source code so if
you can write a little VB you can modify it to shell to a burning
program)
Thanks Al
Any freeware that can do that?

Burn a CD? Loads. Search the forum for the past week or 2.
Backup and burn in one program? Not that I can remember.
Have a look at these.
Here is my info, links are like us, they die. If any of these links are
dead or are no longer freeware, at least you have the name of the
program which you put into a search engine like Google & maybe you can
let me know the latest info.
I am not recommending anything, my list gives you a starting point to
find something to suit your operating system ( most people do not even
mention it ) & skill level. What will work on my computer, may not be
happy on yours. What I can understand, re how to install & run, may not
apply to you.

One warning, while the backup program itself is very good, the
accompanying LaunchPad tray utility is incredibly invasive. There is
no way to disable it. It phones home regularly.
I had to login as administrator and use Windows Defender to disable
it. As well, it hides itself in the Task Manager so that you can't
kill it.
I'll continue to use backup (triggered from Windows Scheduler), but
the LaunchPad has left a sour taste regarding Comodo Software. I
won't be installing anything else from them.
It reallys annoys me when developers insist that I *have* to use
their tray utility. My tray is full of anough crap as it is.

So, Melih;
Now we have reports of "phoning home" from Comodo's Launchpad. What's
up with that?

As a task. I'd love to see how a process can hide itself.
That has already been mentioned. It checks to get the latest
information from the Comodo site.

there is more going on, but be happy with Melih answers.
I quit, Toodeloo leaves the Comodo discussions.
Melih wrotes a lot but isn't able to synchronize things.
Melih promisses a lot but he should know that his staff would never agree
with it.
Just like microsoft; vapourware and things will be solved in the next
release.
Always the answer, yes it's free, but when someone looks at the site the
story is different.
NO software information updates about the period to use that product on the
sites; still 365 days free.

In a company with enough resources to undertake a project like this,
things take time. Give em a chance. (Then judge without mercy.:)

Good point. Turning a tanker takes a bit of...patience. Still, it's a
bummer to get conflicting info like that.

Yes. Will have to wait and see whether Comodo sorts itself out or not,
who knows. Cant help wondering if a game has been played here.
NT
I'll be giving CPF v2 a go. As soon as I rip out the last tendrils of
ZA. Anyone else? Will post back here...
-Craig
The lack of response regard updating the website is a little worrying.
I will play a wait and see game at this point.

No need to wonder any longer. The page at ...
says the licence only works for 12 months !
Yup. Actual verbage is:
> The license is a free, perpetual license that simply requires annual registration.
I've d/l'd and registered. They've emailed me the activation key. As
soon as I get around to uninstalling ZoneAlarm, I'll mount up and report
back here.
Btw, I've found some instructions for uninstalling ZA (v5.5.094.00) but
if anyone has anything they consider definitive or nearly so, please post.
-Craig
I have this link Craig.
http://nh2.nohold.net/noHoldCust25/Prod_1/Articles55646/CompleteUninstallNonNT.html
You will see that when you install the product the license says it
works forever.
I have informed the guys to update the websites.
thanks

Comodo
thanks
Melih
You must appreciate that to change even the smallest piece of code
means the product has to go into testing and then QA, never mind the
time it takes to develop the code. This is of course after somehow
scheduling this work to be done! Its not a quick thing at all. I
thought we have been pretty quick taking on board the idea of perpetual
license and implemented in across all our products! Pls check how long
it took us to do from when it was first mentioned! We continually
taking on board all the suggestions (does not mean all the suggestion
will be implemented of course). But guys pls bear in mind, we are
creating desktop security products for free and your help will go a
long way in making these products easier to use. So pls keep the
feedback coming. I can't promise we will implement it all, but I can
promise that we will listen, fully evaluate every single suggestion you
put forward and implement some of them (hopefully majority).
thanks
Melih
Comodo
We want to create a free desktop security products so that people will
like our products so that we can introduce new technologies which will
allow us make money from enterprises. Our desktop security products
will always be free for desktops (even for enterprises)! We make money
from providing Digital Certificates to online businesses and having our
innovative products downloaded by end users will mean we can make more
money from businesses.

Melih, who are you replying to ? It really would help if you used a
newsreader when you reply. A "technical" company where staff cannot
work out how to use newsreaders does NOT fill me with confidence.
IF you are replying to me then I have another question. If your
registration is purely to "inform the users about what's available"
then why don't you include that with the "registration" email ?
I regularly install/uninstall programs on my different computers. If I
have the ease of using your competitors products or using yours
then I will not even consider yours.
Why ? Because eg. a "free" Zone Alarm stays free. If I have to
constantly contact your web site to enable your software then....
.... what happens if you go out of business ?
.....what happens if I change computers, try a "new" install and your
site won't complete the registration ? (Your having changed to
payware).
.....what happens if your site is down for maintenance ?
.....what happens if routing to your site is down for some other
reason ?
.....what happens if I suspect that contacting your site is to install
spyware and/or cookies and/or something else to keep track of me
and/or what/when I do things ?
etc. etc.
In order to promote your business people need to try your freeware/
payware products. As it is many people will NOT do so. For the many
reasons I/others have stated.
Regards, John.
