List of Companion Antiviruses

[jamescv7]

Is Microsoft Security Essentials a compatible AV? Remember a couple of years ago when the spokeswoman made a big uproar by suggesting using MSE with another more serious AV?

AS companion AV then highly suggest to take with a risk because setup combination are unofficial as I mentioned from previous post.

But as a solo AV yes it can be since its baseline protection isn't below to 60 percent of its detection capabilities.

slowdowns between CIS and EAM are mostly due to overlapping components. activate the one you prefer and disable the other. for example CIS web filter is bad, better use EAM one.

Slim chance that MSE would detect anything any decent AV product will; it'd just be more overhead at a minimum. Any decent AV product will disable MSE/WD anyway. It's there to keep fresh installations from being malware magnets until a decent security product is installed.

i forgot about Avast compatibility mode.

Can you explain how to install in compatibility mode?

How about CIS full suite and Baidu AV?Did anyone tried this,any thoughts?

 

[Rolo]

How about CIS full suite

CIS working with CIS would be a good start!

I already have Comodo FW with Bitdefender Free,just thinking at a change...

 

[Rolo]

No, heh, pardon me but my humour hasn't worked very well lately...

I was just pointing out that CIS does not always work with itself, let alone other products.

With that combination; I highly recommend thinking of a change.

Your humor is more than OK,it's just me,English not my native language and i realize a little bit to late the joke.
About my combo...it works for me without any issues for more than 2 month now,very happy with it...if i want a change,it's just for my need of changing,that's it

 

[Rolo]

it's just me

Not just you; I'm like zero for 10 so far..heh.

It's just BD free is 2013 and it failed to detect 150/170 malware samples in my last test. It could be that Win10 was an issue, however.

Not nice at all for Bitdefender...i think i will change though....at least to satisfy my "lust" for changing

 

[VladDracul]

Ok,changed...activated the Comodo AV's,so now i have the full suite.

how do you like it compared with bitdefender free?

did you keep CIS default sandbox rules?

I agree. I don't know why Microsoft Security Essentials still has any defenders left, with its abysmal testing. They seem to be getting fewer.

The full suite is lighter than Bitdefender Free and Comodo FW,so i'm verry happy with it.As for the Sandbox rules,applied the settings from this tutorial http://malwaretips.com/threads/como...-settings-autosandboxing-firewall-hips.44620/

Don't worry it`s working just fine had a LOL moment with your previous comment. Maybe it`s in the set-up i.e. "this product is not compatible with the product your about to install. Do you wish to continue ? ..mmmmmh ?.... yeah.

Bye the way I never had a problem with CIS on XP or Win7.

I`m right in thinking that there has not been an engine update for Kingsoft AV since 2012 ??

What about 360 Total Security?

 

[Matthews]

For a while now, I have gone between multiple security programs and am sometimes asked for a recommendation for free antivirus software. one of the antivirus programs i am always more than willing to recommend is Comodo Free Antivirus Software.
