Battle CIS vs Avast!

[xxrandomxx]

Vote and post why you prefer the one you chose.

 

[Squeezy]

Comodo is overly complicated for a security solution, simple products without too much pop-ups that provide mediocre protection are far better than complicated products that offer hefty protection with too much pop-ups. Your pick, it's either simple and mediocre or complicated and "decent". You can still get infected with an arsenal of security products so i'd go with avast.

avast

Experienced user : CIS
Basic knowledge user : Avast!

But my vote is for CIS

 

[Manzai]

The choice is difficult

Best proactivity : Comodo
Best detection file : Avast

Avast is the bare minimum antivirus I would use IMO. I have used it in the past & it does a pretty good job at catching things. My friend was using only MSE & Defender only on her Win 7 computer when it started acting strange. I installed Avast for her & ran a full scan. It caught 6 nasty's & removed them.

i prefer avast , comodo take so much time to update

Comodo if they fixed the bugs else Avast

CIS for ever , Avast is very weak if the malware RAT is Undetected

 

[Lailson]

Avast!
Comodo is very weak with his Av, virtualizes thousands of secure applications, blocks several insurance programs, and still has many flaws.
Avast is a good Av, has a lot of users, I would stay with Avast or:
Avast Free + Comodo Firewall

 

[salonika91]

avast av>comodo av but with comodo firewall has great proactive defence
so is better to have avast av+comodo firewall

 

[King Alpha]

I would say Comodo.

The goal of these programs is to prevent systems from being infected with malware, so it's an easy choice for me and that is Comodo, even though their AV detection sucks the Firewall won't allow programs to run without you letting it, so even if Avast detects 90% if it lets only 1 piece of malware infect the system then it failed and if Comodo only detects 70% but doesn't allow an infection then Comodo is the better choice. But realistically it's Comodo Firewall that makes the difference so a combo of CFW and a AV with good detections makes a strong defense. And I ran CIS for a few months and didn't get many popup notifications, it's not like it used to be.

Both are good, this is though choice..may I ask why you created this pool? is this question made because you want to use one of them? if you are an advanced user and know what are you doing you could go for CIS, but if you don't want get confused by many pop-ups and can't decide which one is False positive then you would go for Avast. Avast is quite good and it's free

One of the staff here on MT (Umbra Polaris) said, there are 2 types of program, the one is the complicated one with many configurations but you need to tweak it (CIS) in order to get the maximum security, or the other one is the simplified one that almost no configuration but common sense needed to get the maximum security (most of AV) But again..if you are an advanced user then perhaps you don't need CIS anymore since you know what are you doing
The great feature on CIS is it's firewall, it's Av engine it's not good as the others (at least for now)
CIS is quite good, the main purpose of CIS is "Prevention" not curing or removing malwares, and yes you can get your computer with malware free if you use CIS and tweaked properly
Regarding your question, my vote goes for Avast with Comodo Firewall, but since you were asked only Avast or CIS, then for the sake of simplicity I'd vote for Avast

Avast Very weak And can prove it

 

[Littlebits]

CIS blocks too many trusted programs and allows a lot of shady adware which is a part of their whitelists.
300 bugs fixed with each release lets you know how stable the product is, so why should any choice to use CIS? over Avast which is a trusted product more popularly used than any other security product. Not to mention CIS collects user data without any opt-out options even if you block the application it still phones home. Nobody know what it collects or how it is used since their privacy policy is riddled.

For weaknesses how could you trust any product with over 300 bugs?
Of coarse any product can have weakness if the user is careless about downloading suspicious files, security products only can protect cautious users.

Enjoy!!

I'm going to pick the one that fixes 300 bugs every update (Assuming that its true)
