Why would anyone install Norton on an XP machine when Comodo Firewall would a better job without any need for updates et al ?Obviously it works. Windows XP works too and if I install Norton 2009 on it, that will work too.
But ask yourself, what value does this product really bring? For example, Avast can terminate malicious connections, pre-infection and post-infection. Including connections to machine generated domains. It offers you high quality AV that you can put in default-deny mode and behavioural blocker that managed to blocked the Petya ransomware with no updates back in the days.
It also blocks phishing and scam pages, more recently scam shops too.
It has a quality firewall, optionally, you can configure it to issue prompts.
Paid versions can protect your browser passwords and cookies to an extent, by issuing warnings when something tries to access them, or blocking automatically.
It gets updates on monthly basis and is also free (or very cheap). I really don’t see the value of Comodo over it.
Anyway CFW can be used as part of a layered defence strategy turning any free AV into a more complete solution. It`s also incredibly light.
