[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 575734, member: 7463"] The most perfect comment I've read in quite some time! Sadly the answer is simple- ask any Home computer user the first thing that comes to mind when they think of computer security and the answer is invariably "AntiVirus". For the most part a non-uberGeek will totally disregard any security solution that lacks an AV for the simple reason of that lack. Look at the highly regarded Sandboxie and something like AppGuard- properly used (which in the case of an anti-exe is a stretch), the protection of either is excellent; if they now added a sub-optimal AV to their product would the base protection be in any way diminished? Of course not! But that's just what is happening to Comodo- by pandering to the masses and highlighting whatever jive-time AV protection methodology that they implement diminishes people from fully understanding the superior protection that the auto-sandbox gives them. Remember that a sandbox is totally oblivious to whether malware is a few months or a few seconds old (unlike the AV), and also could care less from where that malware is executed from (Internet, Email, Local Hard drive) unlike an anti-exploit app. And as long as a person doesn't try to get cute by checking every option (as SOOOOOO often occurs) superior protection can be achieved without effort or confusion.
