Advice Request Comodo Firewall and Kaspersky Free

[codswollip]

Is Appcheck or AppGuard +KAF+Comodo too much?

Comodo w/CS configuration is adequate by itself. Optionally add to that WD, KAF, VS, etc., but more than one is overkill.

With Comodo Firewall enabled, do I need to leave Windows Firewall ON?

No, you should never have 2 firewalls working simultaneously

Yes. Turn off Windows Firewall. But do not disable Windows Firewall service.

I tried this combo in the past and the only issue was Kaspersky Free notifications about threat detection not showing up, it would quarantine the malicious files but will not show the notification about it. The rest worked flawless.

Are people still seeing BSODs with Comodo, or did they fix that?
This is a general question, not related to the CFW+KF combo.

I have Comodo in one machine and has never faced any BSODs, I believe it may be hardware - specific issues.

this combo arouses my interest since weeks. someday i will try it

I still like CFW and Avast free. Cheap and easy to use. Never had an issue.

How heavy is Kaspersky free and does it use any ADs?

Yes, I think you are right about that.

I wouldn't bet for KFA to be heavy at all, since the best, most efficient modules are not included. The only good part of it is it's powerful engine. If you were to use it, you would have to complement it with a couple of extra programs, like VoodooShield and a firewall.

 

[kjdemuth]

Yeah I have CFW and KFA running right now. It's very light and the protection should be second to none. Especially with Comodo default deny and KFA sigs and web scanner. If I get really paranoid I might turn on HIPS on CFW but I doubt it.

What about Kaspersky saying Comodo isn't compatible with it during the install?

You should install Kaspersky first before Comodo.
