Advice Request Are Eset Nod32 Antivirus and Comodo Firewall compatible?

[francis de lorraine]

hi forum is there a member who tried eset nod 32 with the comodo firewall?

I advise you do not try to use ESET NOD32 with Comodo Firewall.

If you have a system image backup to revert with and insisted on it then you could try it out however remember to exclude one another through white-listing and do not try and use COMODO HIPS. In fact, even the sandbox might conflict.

IMO it is just a bad idea because Comodo Firewall isn't just a Firewall and even if you disable components, it might still leave them active but just filtered out to not do anything and that alone could be problematic if that is the case.

ESET have a good firewall though, you may as well just use ESET Smart Security but it's up to you.

I did and ESET was not able to start. I must have removed ESET using safe mode because I couldn't remove it via Control Panel
the system was very slow and buggy

There we go then.

To OP, the chances of it succeeding are very small and given what happened to Evjl Rain, it's your own funeral if you do it.

Okay, thanks. I'll stay with norton, then.

such a shame that one of the sig kings are not compatible with a comodo setup
out of all paid AVs, ESET would be the first i would think of to get sigs in my combo. and so light too

You don't need comodo with Eset.
Just get Eset IS(disable remote +predefined rules from firewall).
Eset is weak against Exe malware so combine it with standard acc/smart screen/vs/OSarmor/Erp/Hard Configurator.

I also have experience of using eset nod 32 with CFW, I had turned off HIPS in comodo firewall, despite that my eset installation got buggy, RAM usage increased and then it stopped updating itself. I had to remove comodo and re install eset, though it was not as bad as @Evjl's Rain, but I got the message.
If you use comodo firewall in cruelsister settings, then windows defender will suffice along with it, no need to pay for av either. Windows defender and avast free (with file and webshield only) are the only av in my experience that play nicely with CFW.

I was told that even if you disable HIPS in Comodo, it is still active. And the HIPS in ESET is very interconnected to other protection features of the AV, so I don't recommend disabling it.

Choose one. Either ESET or Comodo.

Yeah the combo would have been great, but ice cream with steak? No thanks.

I’ve never had an issue running the two together. Light as could be. Comodo with CS settings and Eset tweaked, with HIPS in smart mode. I’ve had it in interactive and policy mode with no issues as well.

Choose Either ESEt or Comodo for Recommend used ESET Internet Security
