I personally think Kaspersky is better because it is Lightweight & has an amazing detection ratio.

I did not say "I hate people who pay or I hate Kasp. users". I love Freebies but ppl can buy their security. I didn't say "hate"..Please do not cause misunderstandings.
Really

Personally I would prefer Kaspersky though I know that for me it is hard, but for someone can be good it depends on who has what equipment Comodo is good only need to configure it well and that for some it is a little tricky.

Really
You ask which bug.?
Visit the comodo forum and then you will find your answer there.
I find it curious that with every new release of CIS there are 300 bugs apparently been fixed.!?
As i say,the comodo forum will explain all.
Every release 300 bugs really
You saw 1 time this, you say every release by the way all of them fixed
right?When I choose a software to protect my PC, I look at more than just protection. Things like stability, innovation and company health are important too. Both are equals in protection. In terms of innovation, both are equals too. However, Kaspersky beats Comodo for all the other fields. First, Comodo is very buggy. Many program updates from Comodo fixes like hundreds of bugs, and every single one fixes some kind of BSOD. This is totally unacceptable. Also, it took them several years just to fix a single file submission bug. That says a lot about the company's development team. Furthermore, Comodo as a whole company has made quite a lot of horrific security mistakes such as issuing rougue certificates for Mozilla.
However, I think that it is better for you to try both on your computer and see which do you like. In the end its all about your preference and same browsing habits.

kaspersky has better detection rate but comodo's HIPS is better.
comodo is more resource friendly.
comodo is a bit harder to configure.

Okay, I went a little overboard on my statement right there and for that, I apologize. What I meant was that there's no need to call out users that pay for their software.

I personally have never trusted free antivirus software, I know that a lot of people use free software, but I often wonder, if free is so good, then why does Kaspersky have 300 million users.

It's all down to a matter of preference. Certainly there isn't something wrong with going for paid software too.

Trust is a significant factor when determining preferences, and how relationships (personal and professional) depend on establishing and maintaining bridges of connection. Your view I trust as it was reminiscent of my parents adage, "You always get what you pay for"; and yet, there's a flip side to this coin (in certain cases) which can be represented by a philosophy rooted in open sourced software, albeit AVs are, for the most part, owned as proprietary. As one of our staff members, and resident MT Oracle, Huracan once revealed how the paid version of Avast! Premier I use essentially provides the same protection as does their free without all the extra "bells & whistles" features, I find the image to be quite similar to an auto-mobile we might see offered with the choice of (2) trims, a plain Jane or (imagine this) a "Lady GaGa" edition!!
Lol!! Yes, Tony. I can clearly see which car you would prefer driving as would I!Edit: ..and they can give me the Limited Plain Jane Edition too,
I'd love to drive them both!

Advertisement is a biggest factor. They advertise themselves very good
So many people think Kaspersky is the best or better than others. (remember I did not say "it is bad!")

My vote goes with Kaspersky.
Any news about Comodo 2015 (the beta version) ?

They are both good solutions. KIS is more of a set and forget, where as CIS can be a little more hands on.
My nephew the other day, writes me, and says, what is up with CIS "which i had installed on his system, due to him having no money" ,
So i asked, what do you mean, he says, well, its become annoying.. I asked how? He says every time i update a program or upgrade CIS says its dangerous.. I had to laugh.. But he is right, new updates and upgrade will not be in the data base as quickly as some other vendors and sometimes causes false positives with CIS.. This is where needing to be more of an advanced user comes into play, knowing which programs and processes to whitelist, knowing when something is a FP because it is a unrecognised file from not being in the data base yet.
Bottom line, if you know what you are doing, and are comfortable having to correct small issues as such to be provided excellent security for free, then CIS is your choice..
Keep in mind, every great once in a while KIS's application control can throw those same FP's for updates/upgrades of legit programs.
Trust issues with CIS.. Well.. I asked my nephew one question, that made him think.. I asked him, in the almost 2 years he has been running CIS since i installed it and set it up for him, how many times has he been infected, the answer... 0 ...

Oh yes I agree Comodo does offer great free protection, but I just do not like the fact Comodo has so many bugs. The file submission bug is proof that they are unable to cope with today's standards.
In 2008 and 2011, Comodo issued false certificates for major websites like Mozilla, Microsoft and Google. In the 2008 incident, a person could buy a certificate for Mozilla domain, with no questions asked. (1) This was an incredible mistake to say the least. So if I wanted to forge websites like your bank or anything, I could simply purchase a cert from Comodo without even giving any details, and there we go, a site that would be recognised by your browser to be legitimate. Then another major trust incident again happened in 2011. This time, it was Comodo's RA partners who got into trouble. Iran hackers got to produce 8 bogus certs for Microsoft, Google and once again, Mozilla. Read more here:
