[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 575841, member: 7463"] Tony- The best explanation that I can give about a CF vs AppGuard difference is what happened to me last week. I was checking out some ransomware (either an Apocalypse or CryptVault- I forget which); and this malware will immediately encrypt files- and it was truly zero-day. Being distracted I ran it on my production system instead of on the VM! immediately I got the ransom screen popping up, but as I use CF on my system all I did was clear the box and all was well. With AppGuard (or any anti-exe) I would have gotten a "Do you want to run this" message; and if I was similarly distracted and answered Yes I would have been lost, totally and completely. Now if you are the sort that never ever gets distracted and has perfect concentration at all times AppGuard would have been more than sufficient to protect you. But if you are actually Human I feel that CF is the better bet. AM18- I perfectly understand that many are just a great deal more comfortable with an AV on board. easy enough to add a good one to a CF system. The majot point is that just because the Comodo AV is inferior should not detract from the excellence of the other modules, and much too often this is the case. [/QUOTE]
