Bitdefender Av and Comodo Fw

[SifhX]

Hi,

I recently got a licence for Bitdefender AV + , I'm actualling using CIS , so .. if I just install Comodo Fw and Bitdefender Av+ , is it better than staying with CIS ? I heard that BD Av is Better than the Comodo one

What do you suggest ?

Thanks

Well, Bitdefender has better AV component than Comodo, but dunno If they like each other
Also, BD can be really buggy on some machines.

Bitdefender AV better than Comodo AV
Comodo Firewall is good with it. But please check compability, I do not know CFW likes BD ???

If your combo CF+BA goes smooth then keep it. I would do this.

Yup Bitdefender AV is very good, Light and efficient. I used it for a Year.
Comodo FW is not recommended by bitdefender as it may face some compatibility issues " Said by bitdefender itself" They informed Windows firewall is good enough for basic level security. I didnt have any problem to my pc for over a year untill i switched to 8.1.
I also recommend u to use windows firewall with Bitdefender AV , because just BD AV has plenty web protection including antispam and amazing search advisor.

What do you plan to do now?

well I installed BD on my wife's computer, she's happy now and I stay with CIS

BD is very good, my GF's PC been using it since 2 years ago, they also had firewall build in, so there is no need to using another firewall. Although what I didn't like from BD is their support

And yes, BD is buggy on some machines, I have no idea.

Did you place exclusions for BD in CIS and vice versa when you experienced this slowdown..?

Did you place exclusions for BD in CIS and vice versa when you experienced this slowdown..?

Yes I did. Comodo FW, was very excited , it showed me 1 million popup about BD, so I accepted everything. The slowdown occured at windows startup, it took about 1 minute for windows to displays icons, then the hard disk was working like 'forever' and the fw continued to popup about BD ... soo , I uninstalled

my config is : AMD Phenom II x4, 6 Gb ddr3 , AMD HD 7870 1Gb, Windows 8.1

@SifhX,

Hmmm...I am gonna try BD AV 2014 later on this week but not with CIS v7. I may be pairing it with OA Premium. My license for Emsisoft IS will soon expire and I know I have a spare BD AV unused lying around somewhere. Will make a system image and then I'll check it out if slow start-up time will be a factor with or without exclusions placed. Might you remember what where the start-up items you had when you experienced the start-up slowdown?

Any of you guys experienced the same slow start-up time here...?

 

[SifhX]

Startup items were : Peerblock (scheduled task), Bitdefender AV and Comodo FW
Background processes : VMWare, MS Office Click-to-run and SQL Server

Hi SifhX ,

Thanks for the reply. The partition I will be using BD AV (currently with Emsisoft IS) boots up at 30sec. I'll post here or start another thread when I have installed BD this week.
