spywar's config

[spywar]

What features of avast do you have installed, and what are non-critical in your opinion? Especially when it comes to your malware testing.

I actually did install the hole program with all of its features. What do you mean by non critical ?

Such as Browser Addons, Remote Assistance etc. Or ones you think are not required.

All you quoted above plus Soft Updater and the BB which is working in passive mode.

 

[spywar]

update: removed CIS 6.

Installed EAM + OA.

 

[McLovin]

Never really asked, but why Vista still?

 

[spywar]

Don't want to change for now, no issues...But I'll change.

I never thought I'd see the day when Spywar dropped CIS. nice config

Edit: How would you compare OA's cloud compared to Comodo's?

 

[spywar]

Actually I can not run CIS atm..Have some issues with it (I reported all of them yesterday so normally they should get fixed on next update) this is why I installed EAM. OA's cloud is certainly more agressive on malware/adware just watch the tests done by AbdoU..You can also manually check a malware not detected by EAM with their cloud DB using MD5 or SHA1 value : http://www.isthisfilesafe.com/

Thanks for the info. I was going to try the Emsisoft internet security pack myself, but my current combo is running so smooth that I don't want to remove it.

 

[spywar]

update: CIS is back, (actually, Online Armor free does not support vista 64 bits which is my system. So deleted it as well as EAM.

 

[ZeroDay]

I wondered how long it would be

Edit: Why didn't you keep EAM?

 

[spywar]

Cause I hate using CCE to scan and then upload malware to Comodo. CIS is 10times better as you can query cloud manually from within the progam.

 

[souhrid]

Comodo IS great.
For On-Demand Scanners I would recommend (since you're from Comodo)Comodo Cleaning Essentials, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, or Emsisoft Emergency Kit.
Extensions I would recommend WOT, Ad-Block
What is your UAC like?

why comodo cleaning essentials while we are using the premium kit????comodo internet security and cleaning essentials have the same virus signatures then what change it will make????

 

[spywar]

Comodo Cleaning Essentials has stronger removal capatibilities. Actually, Comodo says : "CIS to keep a clean PC clean", "CCE to clean an already infected PC".

Thank you spywar for the info,but still confused

Does this help?

As indicated by it's name, Comodo Cleaning Essentials can be used to clean pre-infected PCs.

If you use Comodo Internet Security, there is little chance you'll require CCE, but it's still offered as an extra download from the Comodo UI.

It's similar to Norton Power Eraser for Norton security products, although you're warned that it may cause FPs.
