Yes it's Good combo, but you can add Malwarebytes (or any antimalware scaner free or pro) to that - and it will be Super Combo !
I would rather use Bitdefender Free + Comodo Firewall / Avast Free + Comodo Firewall as Kaspersky Free has no behavior blocker from what I know

If you use CS's CF settings, your combo is nearly unbeatable. Adding other programs would be unnecessary.

Good Point @steel9 . I use Avast free too . but i don't use comodo. last time i tried to download their software , it didn't work out well for me. i suggest you use the zonealarm firewall. Bitdefender free is pretty good software too.
Perfectly good combination. Suggest using Cruelsister's settings.
I'd argue a behaviour blocker isn't necessary if paried with CF. Chances of running into accidentally whitelisted malware (that Kaspersky also doesn't have a signature for) is so low it may as well be nonexistent.
Yep, but one might exclude installers from the sandbox for example as you probably don't want to install software in the sandbox, while the installer might be malicious. A behavior blocker will in that case be an extra safeguard. Comodo also has VirusScope which I think you can enable for non-sandboxed processes also.
Chances are if it has an installer it's a PUP which neither Comodo or Kaspersky are particularly good at detecting, and unless it starts dropping adware or a crypto-miner on your system a behaviour blocker isn't going to react to some fake system performance booster.
Also like you said, VirusScope can be set to monitor outside the sandbox.

Is correct CIS has the option of viruscope working outside the sandbox.

I think it's a good combination, and I've been using it with the Cs configuration and it's almost impossible to pass any malware to it.
2. If you want to use the Comodo and kaspersky free firewall without touching anything, it's also a good combination because Comodo has hips and doesn't need a behavior detector.

Yes I followed that settings, thank you
I have considered Bitdefender free but it is not compatible with Comodo Firewall and the options are very basic. Kaspersky's signatures are pretty good, I don't know how effective Avast's signatures and behaviour blocker can be.
What about VirusScope? Can it affect the operation of Kaspersky ?

virsucope should not cause many dilemmas outside of sanbox .. whenever you put it as trustworthy .ademas it works by checking after the file is executed not before so no much hy problem ..
with comodo do not need so much a motor of behavior since everything must pass by the white list of CIS ... ALSO YOU HAVE the auto sanbox so anything you must give them permission.

It´s not a good config. It´s a Great config. I have it an is light and secure, everything runs smoothly and is an excellent protection

An extra: most solutions are compatible with each other if you put them in exclusions between them .. so they avoid being scanned between them.
kaspeky >> exclusions to comfortable
comfortable >>> exclusions to kasperky (I think this is by default).
bitdefender should look like this:
bitdefender >> exclusions to comodo
comodo >>> excluding bitdefender (I think this is by default).
is a great combo since cis acts as an anti-exe with white list ... and if you want more security only activate the HIP and you will go crazy giving permissions.
listen to The paranoid one .. He already has that combo XD ..

I love it. CFW HIPS can replace Application Control or Behaviour Blocker. Thumbs up

I also have a problem with the standard Comodo installer.
So the way I get around it is by using the CIS offline installer, and then rebooting, and then I can uninstall the AV, and just keep the firewall.
The new version of Comodo , coming later this month, will have an option in the offline installer for firewall only, without any need to install the AV at all.
AppGuard cancels out Comodo's use as nothing malicious would be able to execute in the first place (thus making the sandbox irrelevant).
Comodo cancels out Appcheck's use as any ransomware would be contained within the sandbox and unable to affect the system.
KAF + Comodo or AppGuard is more than enough.

Cfw is an anti exe, white list, sandbox, viruscope (behavioral analysis) ... more you can ask for ..
Kaf + comfortable is an excellent protection..
