A few inconsistencies on the Avast made me think that I should go with an another product. It's settings changes by its own, like the hardened mode. I can't enable the hardened mode. It disables itself a few minutes later when I enable it again.
Q360 is just too weak. Not just because the signatures, but I don't know if I should trust this software to protect me from some of the exploit based malware attacks. It would be better if there are more benchmarks for this product.
Kaspersky Free is heavy on the harddisk.
I guess I will end up either with a comodo FW or Forticlient with tweaked settings + OSArmor. I'm bored with Comodo, so I will try FC + NVTOSA.
How is its performance impact on the system btw?
Comodo Firewall is significantly lighter on the system than Comodo Cloud AV is. It is coded better. CFW is the product they work the hardest on, it's their flagship product.
As
@oldschool already said, both have the autocontainment feature. I have not tested autocontainment in the most recent versions of CCAV, but when I did, I found that it was much more buggy than the corresponding feature in CFW. Like I said, CFW is coded better.
Comodo's ability to detect malware by signature and behavior is famously poor. That's why I said to forget about Virusscope. You can use it if you want, it won't hurt, but I just don't rely on those Comodo features.
Comodo makes good HIPS, autocontainment, firewall, and application sandboxing. And it is amazingly light on the system. That's a lot for free!!
It is famous for bugs, but if you are lucky and they don't affect you, it's a great product. On my wife's laptop I have CFW and Hard_Configurator. I added the latter because CFW is a little weak on lol bin protection. It's main strength is against file-based malware.
