How many times have you changed your config already the past two weeks? I lost count already how many AV's you've tried and uninstalled again after a few hours.

This is your security config so you do whatever you want here (just obey MT rules and don't post nudes ) and post as much required to inform others about your setup changes.

@Moonhorse, I enjoyed reading your config (changes) as I'm also interested in CCAV. Comodo Firewall Have you ever considered using Eset in comparison? I find it really light weight and tweakable. I really love the concept of Commodo Fireall (due to CS settings) but the new release is not realiable in my point of view...

CCAV is very user friendly and you cant go wrong with it. Last time i used eset were 5 years ago, but im aware its top class product. I just prefer free software over paid myself

Thanks, maybe I'll give it try, as well - just realized CFW is included )

you can use the old comodo firewall version 10.2, which is almost flawless IMO
I think CS herself is also using it because it's the last version before the stupid/buggy v11 update
Comodo Free Firewall 10.2.0.6526

CCAV doesnt have comodo firewall included if u meant that, but it has same auto sandbox ability,

And when u set Comodo cloud antivirus on block mode on untrusted files, it will work as default deny

If theres signed malware wich get throught that ability, viruscope has heurestics to find out its malware out there and in last hands its user compromised to trust or not

unfortunately, CCAV has a delayed/crippled version of sandbox
CIS/CF/CAV is always has a better version of sandbox in theory, then they will update the sandbox in CCAV. 1 of my tests in the past demonstrated it and Comodo admitted it

Comodo's virusscope is unreliable. It rarely detects anything when we deal with hub test malwares. It can block non zero-day malwares when Comodo has signatures for them

in the end, CCAV is an okay product

 

[Momus]

Gentlemen, many, many thanks for your explainations and recommendations! Best of all is the link to the latest (stable version) of CFW.

Removed:
- CCAV
- Vivaldi

Added:
+ avast free ( hardened)
+ Appcheck Anti-Ransomware
+ Firefox;
- Ublock origin ( nano defender)
- Malwarebytes extension
- Netcraft
- Trace
- Bitwarden

Ps. It seems that trace can replace both; privacy possum & canvasblocker

Trace can also pass all fingerprint tests

Probably AppCheck is not necessary if Avast Free in Hardened Mode Aggressive.

Agree with you. I think Avast + osarmor or Avast +syshardener is better option, more lite and one of the bests free combo

@stefanos @harlan4096

Not necessary, but works as adware/malware cleaner without any system usage, well 8mb of memory

No idea how it would compete against malwarebytes, zemana, hitmanpro etc.

Interesting product.
I wait your opinion after your tests for Appcheck Anti-Ransomware
