Comodo Cloud AV vs Avira Free

 

[military]

At all respect to Comodo, but their product still very crude, and service comodo valkyrie it is not clear when will start to work. Even when will start to work, it is not clear on how many effectively and as long it will hold on. Avira +

It would be great if compare between Comodo Cloud AV vs Panda free antivirus vs 360TSE.Avira is based on very strong signatures.So nothing to compare

AFAIK Aira free is based on detection only. That's why I chose Comodo Cloud AV as the latter has auto-sandbox.

Purely based on signatures, I vote for Avira.
Based on extras, Comodo wins.
Overall I would choose Avira, because of strong signatures and they have a basic kind of cloud built in since a year or so. (and maybe better in compination with some other software like good firewall)
But there are better (free) alternatives on the market.

Avira has a larger (whitelist) database with samples that are not clean. They tend to not re-analyze files.

There is no point to this thread, as CCAV is still a Beta product, not finished.

Agreed, and aside from that, CCAV is going to include far more security modules compared to Avira Free, which also unfairly tilts the balance of this comparison towards CCAV. (well explained by @kev216)

If I am not misinformed Avira Free connects to Avira Protection Cloud.
Maximum protection in a free antivirus - Avira Blog
This would qualify it as a Cloud AV in my book.

It utilizes local signature databases as well. So I guess we could classify it generally as a signature-based AV.

 

[woodrowbone]

Panda Cloud also uses local database.
The point with "Cloud" for me is that all new code encountered, is examined by the cloud, not just the local database.

Thread closed until Comodo Cloud AV is released.

When it comes to maturity then go to Avira Free instead to Comodo Cloud AV but we can see that more features are tend to be complicated unlike an usual AV which contains purely signatures/generic detection.

Thread re-opened due to public stable release of Comodo Cloud Antivirus - (Find out more).

 

[davetenay]

Looking at recent CCAV release, I would say Avira free all the life.

 

[safe1st]

Both is good. But i'd choose Avira
Comodo is complicated for beginner tho..
