Bottom line: fair comparison between Comodo and avast! can be made as they both have IS components.

And honestly, the price doesn't matter but the program features.

Nothing else to add since that is true. Both solutions have different approaches when it comes to protection but that is where the comparison should start, not on price.

RE: Avast IS OR Comodo IS

I have looked at Avast through reviews and it doesn't look bad at all. CIS is what I personally use and for being free, excellent forum-support, light on system, Virtual Kiosk, as well as very configurable IS is the reason why I choose CIS as my security application.

RE: Avast IS OR Comodo IS

i love to use Avast Free+ Comodo Firewall setup....
but if only AIS or CIS option is available, then i like to go with CIS + K9 + WOT [\b], and its free of course, i dont like to pay for an antivirus suite, when i can get same [maybe better] quality security for FREE...

RE: Avast IS OR Comodo IS

Of the two, CIS for sure. The combination of the HIPS and BB, with the strong firewall, Kiosk &
sandboxed browser "s" , its lightness on the system, and as stated, all this is "free". If you tweak CIS, enable full virtualization with the BB "automatic sandbox", you will be pretty well set.

I have to agree that CIS is superior, but Avast is perfect for grandma or a small child that cannot handle any cyber decision making or excessive interactions.

Voted: Avast

Although I may not be fond of their other features, all I want is an Antivirus and avast is the one I feel most comfortable with.

What do you mean by "superior" ?
Do you test them ?
I have many samples that bypass CIS ... and detected by avast without av signs ... They are both very well and don't forget that avast is going to improve even more with new stuffs coming ...
