Battle Avast vs comodo

[woox]

Which option would provide better protection?
Avast free + comodo firewall
or
comodo internet security

 

[Amiga500]

pretty much equal i would say.its a tough question but i like all in one software so i would choose comodo internet security.

I think Avast with CFW is a bit more secure than CIS, as long as there are no conflicts.

Does avast have a better behavior shield/blocker than comodo?

One thing I noticed you kept Comodo in the discussion (Emsisoft vs Comodo) and now (Avast vs Comodo), so are considering about using Comodo?

So I'll say this, if you're looking for the better Behaviour Blocker, then Emsisoft AM can provide that. Although it may be more talkative.

I haven't used them in awhile, but I'm pretty sure CIS has a better BB than Avast

Avast free + comodo firewall. Avast free adds the web and network shield. These alone plus Avast has evo gen sigs makes it a better choice than CIS full suite. Once avast 9 comes out it will be even better.

Avast caused a lot of issue on my computer. Have tested all the anti-viruses software out there.
Now thinking to stick with Comodo Internet Security Premium because of:

-Its FREE!
-great detection rate.
-great firewall.
-Strong HIPS
-Very very light on resources (RAM Usage) Proof.
-Cool User Interface.

and more... just give it a try!

I found Comodo having a problem with FPs and flagging safe files to be sandboxed automatically. I think they should implement a file/reputation scan (similar to OA Firewall) before activating it's protection to stop legitimate files from being sandboxed (ie. straight after installation).

CIS for sure.
Strong HIPS, good firewall, light on resources, not bad av. I think its more complex than avast, but it also need more knowledge about your environment, applications.

The do have a file scan. It's under general task and then scan. It will give you a list of files that are running and whether or not trusted. As far as automatically sandboxed items you can set trust all installers.
