Advice Request Comodo ONE free version

[komir]

Hello everyone. I am new in the antivirus field and have some security question.
How safe/secure to use Comodo ONE free for company network ( five Windows 10 PC )?
Do I need some other solution except their Antivirus, Containment, Firewall like leave enabled Microsoft Antivirus?
Tnx for any other suggestion

Comodo One is the management platform.
Some of Comodo's technologies are strong, and some are not.
Autocontainment is strong, although there are some recommended tweaks -- you could use what is known as the CruelSister config, which is generally recommended for those who are not Comodo ninjas.
Antivirus is weak. You should rather use Windows Defender (assuming the OS is Windows 10), and you can harden the protection with Andy Ful's ConfigureDefender tool. Alternatively, use a free antivirus of your choice, such as Kaspersky Free Antivirus.
Firewall is decent, as long as you don't run into bugs.

Thank you.
Please, do you think it is enough only to enable periodic Microsft antivirus scan and keep Comodo AV also or it is better to disable Comodo AV and enable Microsoft Antivirus real-time scan?

Comodo AV is heavy and ineffective. I would recommend to uninstall the AV component and keep the Firewall component (which will include Autocontainment and a bunch of other modules as well).
As long as you have a 3rd party AV installed on your computer, you are likely to have issues with Windows Defender real-time protection becoming disabled. As soon as WD detects another AV on the system, it disables itself. This is the default behavior. I think there is a Group Policy setting to change this behavior, if you so wish, but the principles of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) dictate that you should do it the normal way, and just uninstall your 3rd party AV.

I think there are no problems in using only comfortable.
1- Your autocontainer should be more than enough for new malware.
2- with windows scans defend bastarian.

I only suggest that you do not allow anything to run out of the container that is not signed or validated by valkiria (comfortable) .. with that you should avoid most of the most dangerous malware.

Hello, thank you. Sorry for my ignorance and my English also is not so good. I can't figure what "bastarian" minds ?

That is not an English word but Spanish one (probably also an issue with his translator)

Bastarían -> They would be enough

I am a native English speaker, and there were a couple things I could not understand. I did not know what "comfortable" means in this context.

 

[harlan4096]

Hum agree (I'm Spanish) and We have also that word (confortable), probably that phrase is not well constructed

Reading this seems to me it will better to use some non-free solution like Bitdefender Total (for more devices) or Kasperski Total (for more devices) or maybe some other solution like Bitdefender Gravity or some Kaspersky equivalent, suggestion, please?
Basically, want to protect
- 5 PC on Windows 10, block web pages like Porn, ads for all PCs. Manage blocked web sites from one place.
-4 Android-based mobiles to see location in real time.

All I can say is read the threads on this forum, and try out some solutions that sound good. There is a lot to choose from. There is no "right" or "best" choice.
But I do agree that using Comodo to manage a network of business machines might be a headache. I would not do it, personally.

I can't comment on whether ComodoOne premium is worth the money, that just depends on how much it helps you manage your machines.
As for actual Comodo protection, it is quite strong if configured properly. See this easy guide for details:

ComodoFix - Set up COMODO for Trouble-free Protection!

Here it is: a Comodo setup for you that works well and protects well. I called it ComodoFix because it fixes a lot of the most common issues and headaches. Feel free to comment... 1 Install and configure the antivirus program of your choice. This could be Windows Defender, Kaspersky Free...

Please note that a business network faces additional threats, not the least of which is network worms, so you may want additional protection for that. This forum is primarily for home users, so we don't focus on threats mainly relevant in a business environment.
