Looks good! Thanks for sharing your config
Thank you, and you're most welcome!

No account password-protection?
No Service Pack 1?
Shadow Defender can be classified as real-time protection, even though you already have a long list of security products.
I wouldn't consider JM Anti-Phishing Beta as an on-demand system scanner
Why do you have Farbar Recovery Scan Tool? (main purpose resides in helping you locate and remove malware problems).

True enough on Shadow Defender and JM Anti-Phishing. I'll switch their positions accordingly. I was recommended Farbar Recovery Scan Tool in a situation where I was trying to delete remnants from an old COMODO installation. It didn't work, but I still see how it could be useful. Also, I do have SP1 (just added to config listing), and what do you mean by account password protection? As in the login screen to Windows? Thank you for your feedback.

I think what @Huracan meant is whether you have any programs/ software that manage the passwords for the website you surf. For E.g. LastPass, KeePass, etc...
Btw, nice and strong config. In fact I felt abit overkill.

Ahhh, I do, that being KeepPass. It seems a bit overkill, but I barely feel it. Anti-exploit is light, so is ZAM anti-keylogger, MCSHIELD, etc. Heck, Comodo is light in comparison to most firewalls. I wish MWB Anti-Malware was a bit lighter, but it's worth its weight in gold. What would you consider changing, if anything? I'm all ears, I'm happy to learn.

Yours is fine.
I use CIS on and off together with NVT ERP or Appguard on my family desktop. It was a very pleasant experience with lots of alerts (yeah I like alerts ).Added EaseUSTodo Backup Free 9.0 to my "Backup & Restore" config. I can't even believe my eyes at how high quality of a product it is for $0.00. Has anyone else tested this product, and walked away happy?

Hi, @NOLF92 .
I am afraid that Comodo Internet Security (CIS) could have some incompatibility issues with Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit (MBAE), even after MBAE is whitelisted in the shellcode injection protection of CIS. My experiment on this problem is described in the following thread:
Question - Incompatibility Issue or A Feature of Comodo AutoSandbox?
I am not sure whether this problem could be reproduced in every system. It is mentioned in the official forum of Malwarebytes that:
I think this implies that whether the compatibility issues exists could vary from case to case. So maybe you could also do some tests by yourself to verify the compatibility. Please also pay attention to the compatibility of CIS and Zemana AntiLogger. By the way, I think "ZAM Anti-Keylogger" should be revised to "Zemana AntiLogger", since ZAM refers to Zemana AntiMalware.

Much appreciated for your feedback. Where would the issue come in with CIS and Zemana Antilogger? I wasn't under the impression that CIS had any anti-keylogging capabilities, therefore I'm not understanding where, or how, they might be conflicting. In regards to the MBAE compatibility issues with CIS, that's unfortunate. It may be as you suggest, on a case to case basis, but I will take your research seriously and look into it.

CIS itself with proper configuration is able to alert any unrecognized keylogger that is trying to install.
You can refer to my Config post #31 below by @hjlbx :
CMLew Test Config (Old Laptop)
Another thing is CIS can also be configured to protect ransomware (refer to my config post #29 by @hjlbx )
Okay, so:
Dropping Zemana Antilogger, because apparently CIS HIPS works wonders in blocking keylogger installers (plus, I'm on paranoid mode). I may consider replacing it with KeyScrambler, as per Umbra's "if you insist" pose, but then again, I just might not. Trying to figure out how to configure the anti-executable config that Umbra is talking about which is helpful in blocking ransomware.

@NOLF92
I have ever tested CIS with the test tool released by Zemana:
Zemana Antilogger Keylogger Leak Test
I found that, when test tool, key-sim.exe, was set to Unknown in the File List of CIS (this step is not essential for you since you are using the paranoid mode), then it would trigger a HIPS alert when it tried to access the keyboard.

One question you have to ask yourself: How prone are you to get infected with Ransomware and other infections like those?
CIS HIPS can be a good approach, granted you fully configure it properly, because if you dont, you are in for some surprises.
If you do not really see yourself getting infected based on what you use your system for, its best to just keep a simple config instead of overloading it with possible protection which will not do anything unless you actively look for infections.

Very strong configuration at all.
Overall CIS is already a full pack of variety components that you can tweak, + it takes overall rely on user decision based. Exploits mitigation are not jut ordinary way of concept cause it deals to optimize and protect even hardware so its important to take a look for possible incompatibility.
