It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

I've been wondering whether to go with Avast or Comodo. Which would you recommend?
Comodo is much stronger but you need to tweak it and learn how to use it.
Also, IMO you should couple it with a decent anti-virus (must be an AV without firewall and HIPS, to avoid conflicts).
So the truth is, you could do both: Avast free, plus Comodo free.
But to get maximum benefit from Comodo, tweak it like CruelSister says.
EDIT: she has a thread about it, read the thread (not just the first post) and you are set.

you wrote: "I was talking about Commodores AV not firewall."

The free version of comodo internet security comes with a cloud-based anti-virus that is so-so at best, and can be coupled with a traditional anti-virus (but double-check on that point. I personally don't have the AV component installed at all).
The free version includes the powerful firewall/sandbox/HIPS components.
The thing that makes Comodo great is not the AV component. It is the autosandbox feature that makes it a winner, plus a robust HIPS for those so inclined.
EDIT: so the bottom line is: if you are going for comodo for the AV, and you will turn off the other stuff, don't go that way. Avast is better in the AV department.
