Overview

cis.exe executes as a process with the local user's privileges typically within the context of its parent cistray.exe (COMODO Internet Security by Comodo Security Solutions).

It is installed with a couple of know programs including COMODO Internet Security Premium published by COMODO, COMODO Firewall from COMODO and COMODO Firewall by COMODO.
