Is COMODO good choice for Antivirus ?

[MalwareT]

Hi considering that Avast is pissed me off many times i decided to uninstall it and give COMODO a try. Is COMODO any good ? Does it have any conflicts with Sbie ? Thanks for your answers

COMODO have weird signatures but HIPS and firewall is freaky good. I think as AV is good but exist better solutions.

It is good and enough. We do not need signature anymore
You do not need Sandboxie if you are using this for sandboxing your browsers?
Comodo sandbox can do this.

Ok thanks @yigido I also use it for sandboxing and testing programs.

Comodo Sandbox is not good at testing programs.. You can use Toolwiz Time Freeze to test softwares It is better than Sandboxie. and you can use Comodo Sandbox for your browsers. In my opinion, you are experienced user so you do not need CAV, the Comodo Firewall is enough for you.
See my signature, I only use Firewall of Comodo with XVirus.

I like the way where @FireShootSK said that, signatures are sometimes mysterious as even though they handle millions of definition then it seems the HIPS/BB/Cloud are so much active in fact a successful hooking process.

Ok I have VirtualBox as well, so is it ok ?

Yes, COMODO is very good. If you set it in the right way it is like a fortress.

Then you can use this too. Actually you can keep them all Do not worry about them

I hear good comments about their Comodo Internet Security as one suite, and their standalone Comodo Firewall with another AV. Not so much for their standalone Comodo Antivirus.

@cruelsister may be able to advise on the Pros and Cons.

If you are ok to deal with the alerts, why not.

Please switch the Proactive config and make HIPS disabled.
Proactive config is strongest way to use CIS. Then, try to got infected

Does it generates more popups ? I don't want CIS to block CATIA

No it won't. It will make your sandbox rules and Viruscope more tight
Try it, don't like then switch to default
