Does comodo internet security offer good enough protection?

[Amiga500]

Any opinions please on the strength of security offered by CIS please.

Is it enough on its own.

Thanks.

It's more than enough. If it's configured correctly it's among the best.

In terms of malware I believe it is. However, I would recommend configuring it as I advise here:

However, in addition to that I would advise adding some additional protection against known phishing pages.

Thank you for those re-assuring replies.I have in fact used comodo internet security for several years with small interludes of trying other things but i always come back to comodo as it never gives any problems.

I use firefox browser with the WOT add on,is this good enough for most phishing pages.?

Thanks for the links provided.

 

[starchild76]

you can use bitdefender trafficlight as a replacement for wot : its better in detecting malicious pages , it also has a phising filter !!!!

 

[Amiga500]

Thanks.

However i never partake in any financial transactions online at all so phishing protection may not be such a high priority.
Im more concerned with malicious files etc rather than fake paypal etc.

Can WOT and BDTL be used together by any chance?

For webpagescanners goes the same as running two virusscanners on one computer , the two will disturb echother and will only slowdown your webbrowsing speed. just use what you feel comfortable with and you will be fine

If Comodo Internet Security is utilized correctly, it will block any kind of malicious process. Of coarse the same applies to UAC which runs at the OS kernel level above all security software and doesn't require tweaking and maintenance. The best protection is your own actions while browsing and downloading files. Today's malware doesn't automatically download and execute itself like malware of the old days that use browsers and web applications that were not secure against drive-bye downloads. Extensions like NoScript if used correctly will block online threats. You can disable scripts in IE using security zones and there are extensions for Chrome that will do the same.

The only thing CIS can not block is exploits using vulnerabilities within Windows OS which have to be patched with Windows Updates. Exploits using vulnerabilities within Windows OS can bypass any process running at the software level. However CIS can block any vulnerabilities within your installed software.

For a user like myself CIS is an over-kill, I never get infections so I just don't need powerful protection or do I want to mess with a product that has to be continuously tweaked and requires manual maintenance in order to run smoothly.

Enjoy!!

If you dont like to tweak, just find something simpler.

I have used CIS for 3-4 months, and by my experience with it, I could say that if you configure it well, then you can get a stronghold over there. For my first times with CIS, how to say, it was just scanning and ticking nearly every possible mini-problems as infected (even cookies!), sees everything from the dark side of the moon 15-20days passed like this and then, well, I happened to realize that I 'have to' configure it, so I did it how its mentioned on some forums like MT. It was doing okay until I get some minor problems with its firewall functions, then uninstalled it. Before the time of unistallation and even now, I find it quite over-kill like Littlebits. CIS is surely a monster but c'mon, I think that, 'that' much of over-reacting is not fun eh?

 

[Ink]

Yes.

As do many other "recognised" security software.

Amiga500 is like a man with a woman with this suite. Tells everyone how wonderful she is, but then needs to be reassured that he made the right move being with her.

 

[Gnosis]

Absolutely, but if you are a novice, or do not want to tweak, stay away.

If you doubt your woman's loyalty and trust, it was a mistake getting with her in the first place. Best get rid of her before she gives you a lovely STI because shes been sleeping around. (in this case a malware infection of some sort)

Same goes for security software, Don't use it if you have doubts and can't trust and depend on it to do what it's meant to do, Of course these days I don't recommend anyone put 100% trust into any security program as none of them can guarantee 100% protection.

Can say the same about women as it's physically impossible they can provide me 100% happiness thanks to a silly design fault, Periods and mood swings.
(Security software will always have bugs and false positives and can't detect/protect against ALL threats)

Of course you can do what some users around here do and have multiple women.
(Multiple security software layered on top of each other and each configured...uniquely all within your Fort Knox Party House)

Thanks.

However i do not socialize with the same sort of "women" that you do and i fail to see how STI,S and sexuality have anything to do with CIS what so ever and this thread is falling off the track very quickly.

Anyway i decided i dont need the overkill and bloat of comodo and im successfully running KIS 2014 which offers the protection i need.

Please show some respect and think before posting please.

Thanks.
