Anyway, welcome to MT.
Good Security Configuration
You can add Hitman Pro (Do not activate trial,only use as on demand)
Any backups?

hehe

do i need a web scanner?

With CIS, MBAM, CCE and TrafficLight, you don't need anything else. Just pick a Backup software and it will be ok (Paragon is the most efficient free one)

Bitdefender Trafficlight is good.

For another extension I would recommend WOT (Web Of Trust)

On Demand Scanners I would recommend Hitman Pro or Emsisoft Antimalware

RE: need advice

hmmm..i gt hitman pro..yea iv got some backups and a recovery disc image of my systemm..anyways what if i change comodo to norton antivirus??any views on that..

You meant:

1- replacing Comodo AV module for Norton

or

2- totally remove CIS?

if case 1 : it is ok, the combo NAV + Comodo FW is quite strong. (AV+BB+web filter+HIPS+Sandbox)
if case 2 : what you will use as firewall?

I would recommend one thing. Do not use the traffic light addon instead download the full traffic light install. It has better protection as it also blocks malicious downloads from non malicious site.

Norton is very good in compare to comodo
if you wish to use Norton internet security then go for it and remove cis and if norton av then install it with some good firewall

 

[ammarmasooma]

hmm..seems good..il go for norton antivirus with comodo firewall and the defense+ part of it..

any other advice guys??

I dont think much software provide good quality of protection.The computer should have only that bunches of software which we really need.

If you wish to add something than add DNS Protection like open,norton or google dns

 

[House_maniac]

comodo atleast is better for me than norton you will see in several test that its outperforms norton! i've used norton too but with comodo you will be better atleast for me,otherwise you can try avast,eset smart security!norton is good too but i think with comodo you can customize it more switch on cloud enhanced protection you'll be good!

Comodo Internet Security should protect you, as long as you don't disable the recommended settings, or you can use Chiron's Comodo Guide.

You may have noticed upon installing CIS, they provide a choice to use their Secure DNS, of course it's optional, so do you need a web scanner? My answer is No.

If you wish to try Norton, I suggest using the Internet Security (NIS for short) for maximum protection and zero conflict. On top you'll find that Norton is install and forget, so default is good, but for slight increased protection you can change a few settings.

pls advice me for any changes..free software if possible..

Main thing I'm gonna say is a back up solution, why because even though you have not got any valuable documents, it's better to have a backup of the OS because if it crashes it's easier to recover, instead of installing everything again.

A few more you could add to you browsers, are WOT, Lastpass and Ghostery.

 

[ammarmasooma]

thanks earth for the advice..but i feel that norton antivirus and comodo firewall with the defense + is good..i feel it give ultimate protection..ya iv enabled comodo dns..thankss..

 

[ammarmasooma]

ya 1 more thing..norton does not detect the eicar zip file in real time..it needs to be opened for it to detect it..any advice on that??any configs??

You could set Norton to scan Archives, but scanning on whilst extracting wouldn't affect PC performance.

Browse the Norton Help files for more information.
