[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 813301, member: 37647"] It's a good question and I haven't seen any hard test results about it that I can remember. Maybe Andy knows. But a general rule of thumb is that the more alerts you see during normal computer usage, the more aggressive and paranoid your security config is. Accordingly, Windows Defender at high settings is stronger than Kaspersky at default settings. :) As for your second question, about Comodo firewall + Defender at high settings: IMO Defender at high settings is better at blocking attacks through MS Office docs and Adobe docs. This is the most dangerous attack vector today. On the other hand, CruelComodo is default-deny, which has great advantages. So I think they are complementary. [/QUOTE]
