Hello.
I use comodo internet security as my security solution and im very satisfied with this program.
However i would like to know which exclusions i should make in the av module please.

Basically im trying to make comodo run as lightly as possible.
I have the av set to stateful.
BB set to block.
Hips disabled.
firewall is set to custom mode.

I have excluded some of my running processes.Just wondered if there were any tips on making comodo lighter.It already runs extremely light but would like to make it lighter if possible.

Thanks.

Hello,
If you have setup the Antivirus stateful that you should be fine, as your files will be scanned only once until a new update is released. I would not add any files to the Antivirus exclusions as the benefits are very marginals.
  • Stateful(Default) - CAV employs a feature called Stateful File Inspection for real time virus scanning to minimize the effects of on-access scanning on the system performance. Selecting the ‘Stateful’ option means CAV scans only files that have not been scanned since the last virus update - greatly improving the speed, relevancy and effectiveness of the scanning.
Comodo has already optimized the antivirus to be as light as possible..... So I don't think you can do anything to further improve it.

Do you feel any slow downs while using Comodo Internet Security?

Depending the settings, the real-time components of any Avs scans files on execution, modification or access; if you want to lighten CAV just put in the exclusions the executables you use the most and be sure they are safe.

I don't know if Comodo still log the process it tries to access, if so you can see those that monopolize it.
