Guide How to set CIS + EAM for max compatibility & security

[Deleted member 178]

Comodo Forum is always an happy reading btw it is still useful for a beginner who need to know how to configure CIS properly.

This flaw is not fixed yet because it is not a priority for comodo, the GPcode weakness is a well known flaw that is blocked by the AV & Cloud feature of CIS since long time, if like me you are paranoid , you can add : *_CRYPT to the blocked files (defense+ -> computer security policy -> blocked files)

Also on the comodo forum you have many other tips to counter it

Thanks Umbra
Oh cool, thanks NSG001 for the link

I kind of enjoyed reading it all over again.

Would these settings need to be applied if the user is using Comodo Firewall with Defense+ and EAM, no Comodo AV?

If my memory is good, with D+ you still have the cloud, so it is not absolutely needed to add this line, but i prefer to do it

Hay umbra, i removed CIS 2012 and i installed CFW to go alongside EAM - antimalware. Is this combo a good setup? or do you recommend EAM - antimalware with CIS?

BTW i followed this guide of yours as well for best compatibility

It is not a tragedy if you just use CFW with EAM (since EAM's detection is better), remember that D+ uses the cloud it will detect but without CAV it will not remove the malware (EAM will surely detect it before tough).

CIS full + EAM full is awesome if you are paranoid like me

Anyway just EAM full + CFW is already a very solid combo, remember to set EAM's File Guard as "additionally scan file when they are read" so it will block malware on the memory.

Can we run:
CIS with Avast
or
CIS with ESET AV

This is the concern of the developers, we can't change that

Guide here: http://malwaretips.com/Thread-How-to-set-up-Emsisoft-Internet-Security-Pack-For-Max-protection-Paranoid-Style

the choices of processors is only for low-end machin es with performances issues.

Well right now I'm running EAM + OAP but I would like to give a try CIS 6 (free) + EAM.
I know BB has been added in CIS 6; do I need to apply a specific setting for that ?
And : what about resource usage ? Is it fine (similar to ESS 6 + EAM ) ?
Which is your suggestion : EAM + CFW or EAM + CIS ?
I know you're paranoid (me too...) so you'll probably say EAM + CIS :lol:

EAM has got probably the best detection rate in the market so I guess this combo should be killer..
Thanks

No specific settings except the exclusions

And : what about resource usage ? Is it fine (similar to ESS 6 + EAM ) ?

yes similar

Which is your suggestion : EAM + CFW or EAM + CIS ?

you are 100% right

EAM has got probably the best detection rate in the market so I guess this combo should be killer..

yes it is ^^ i will do it too if i didn't have a high aversion for CIS v6 UI ^^

Ya that is one more reason I had been using KIS (with customized skin) in the last 3 years. I designed many customized skins - especially for KIS 2011 - all posted in Kaspersky forum .

However it looks it could be good you make a new "how to.." for CIS 6. Some things are different from v 5...

BTW It looks CIS is very light (see screen)

Is it correct or there is something wrong?

What about reccomended heuristics ? I selected Medium level - default is Low - - Is that right ?
BTW I selected automatically download updates and notify (check every hour) but till now never got notifications - I always update manually - Is that normally ?
