Nice update.

Note CIS has some bugs/glitches here and there (they mostly affect usability/functionality, not security) so make sure you export your configuration often in case CIS messes it up somehow (has never happened to me, but apparently it can happen, as it was reported by many CIS users).

Other than that, happy tweaking! :D

What do you mean 'export your configuration'?

It's an option you can find in Advanced Settings -> General Settings -> Configuration.

Wha

What is the difference between IS, Proactive Security and Firewall Security?
COMODO Proactive Security is the most secure configuration. The first thing you should do before you start tweaking anything is to activate it as your base security config, and then you can make any desired changes to the settings. Any changes you make to the settings are saved in the currently Active configuration.

So once you've made your desired changes, return to the same settings screen and Export "Proactive Security" which has saved all those changes. If something ever goes wrong, import the backup configuration file which you previously exported.

What are the major differences
Generally, in "Proactive Security", the predefined policies, rules and protected object groups across the Firewall, Auto-Sanbox and HIPS components, are vastly stricter.
For more information check here: Comodo Preset Configurations, Firewall Security | Comodo Internet Security v7.0

The COMODO Internet Security Help Guide is your best resource for CIS-related information.
NOTE: Latest version is v8.2, at the moment. Although some articles are written for previous versions, they should also apply to the current version.

Changed: Comodo Chromodo to default browser, Microsoft Edge is my secondary.
Added: Crystal Security Portable (only for scans) @Kardo Kristal
Great update. MS Edge is not yet matured as a piece of software, in my opinion, and Chromodo is more than a decent browser.

Try out the Bitdefender TrafficLight extension for Chromodo, you will have a very powerful layer of website protection in your browser. If you feel that it is too much, tou may remove Bitdefender TrafficLight and only keep uBlock Origin which is more than enough.

Crystal Security is a very nice piece of software, and having an extra on-demand scanner is always good! Great addition.
