They should allow multiple selection. Some pair up comodo firewall with a free av.

That is what I was saying lol. Get a macro recorder and let it run. :p I think the best polls save IPs and use cookies. You can still get around them a few times...but you run out of proxies after a bit. :p

Lavasoft (swedish company) used to be good but langguy made a review and lavasoft did good on detecting with on demand scan but the realtime protection is bad.

Many, even on cnet, have given Ad-aware bad comments.

I made a thread at comodo forums to help comodo :)

I've noticed, it seems Melih has too. He did that with the last one, there is two for the 'about' and two for the 'cnet'.

Even if it is called "security suite" Ad-Ware doesn't offer a complete protection. I really don't understand the poll results.
