Correction: If you didn't install the Antivirus, then you would be using Comodo Firewall and not CIS.

I have found Panda URL Filter to be effective, and since I'm no fan of alternate DNS services, I can't comment on them.

You may want to try WOT for Firefox. Overall your config looks good.

So if your not running CAV then you are no longer using CIS. So your real time is only Comodo Firewall with D+. Why not use CIS to its full potential?

[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

Use an antivirus. You can get something like AVG free, Avast, Avira.

Hi Guys.
I have edited my config now.
The installation of CIS was the custom installation without AV and GeekBuddy
Awaiting CIS 6 sometime next year and will give AV another try.
Considering a freebie AV solution as suggested.

Cheers,
Panda filter is exceptional. prefer this over Traffic Light which slowed down browsing a touch.
May give WOT a whirl sometime (But use SSL Scroogle as search engine and careful what i click )
Thankyou

There is no point in install CIS if your not going to use CAV. Comodo offers each component separately. So then you should uninstall CIS and install Comodo firewall with your choice of a free av to avoid any conflicts. Installing suites and then disabling certain features is never a good practice to get into.

The antivirus component was never installed (please read post previous) as i made a custom install.
I am considering a freebie AV to run along side.

I understand it was never installed but its good practice.This is why Comodo offers Comodo stand alone firewall. The av is still in the package. Just advice to avoid conflicts.

Thanks for your advice, I was advised that the latest installers were packed this way to avoid such conflicts.
Maybe I'll PM egemen at Comodo to be sure.
