I personally never used the full suite, but I've seen lot of users NOT recommend Comodo Antivirus, instead just stick with the firewall. It's very little the difference with the antivirus module, so most users just avoid it. Friend @shmu26 will be able to help with Comodo

ty for info but thats why im asking.. bcs the new version 11 maybe change something and u know the complete suite will work better that separate components ( in theory )I personally never used the full suite, but I've seen lot of users NOT recommend Comodo Antivirus, instead just stick with the firewall. It's very little the difference with the antivirus module, so most users just avoid it. Friend @shmu26 will be able to help with Comodo
Comodo signatures have always been weak, although they have been working on this for a bit of time now and it is improving. This said, the AV component is basically a cosmetic considering CIS true strengths. There really is no need to run a separate AV adding more impact and bugs to the system.

They basically just slammed number 11 on it and called it "new major release". And yet they still can't add stupid "Ask" option for the sandboxing like Comodo Cloud AV has. It's just out of this world baffling why they refuse to add this feature. Nothing more annoying than launching a game and this crap getting stuck and you have to kill the process and manually allow it and run the game again. Absurd, when you could just be asked and you'd clear it right away.

This is a major usability problem that I faced while using Comodo Firewall for some time, it is simple stupid to not have a "Ask" option for unknown files.
I imagine that most Comodo users are not gamers, because it is totally annoying to have to redo a Steam game install because some components were automatically sandboxed (I got that with Killing Floor 2 for example).
Security and Privacy have a common denominator, and that is, the more you try to achieve of both, the less you will enjoy your system.

I learned that the hard way when I was a teenager and I threw 4 antivirus on the same system on Windows 7 Basic

I agree with the previous posters, that the antivirus component of Comodo is not worth installing, despite their hype about improvements. It is always "improving", but it still has a long way to go.
On another note, I got hit by the unknown processes bug in version 11, but I was happy to learn that it is only a visual bug.
There are some old and trusted files that show up in the "unknown" count, but in truth, Comodo treats them as trusted. So it's only a visual issue that does not affect functionality.

I would use the AV of Comodo just to disable WD LOL

Before I begin let me say that I Never (never, ever) will install a major Comodo update BEFORE it is available via the internal updater. Personally I view previous versions as nothing more than Beta's, and on should NEVER use a beta as the main Security solution. So although I've played with version 11 in a VM, my main system still is protected (extremely well) by version 10. So the following comments would pertain only to version 10 (although my VM work shows that version 11 is similar).
1). After reading these complaints I tried to install an unsigned application. Indeed although there was no ASK or ALLOW option, a popup did appear with a "Do Not Isolate Again" option. Perhaps I am simple-minded, but isn't that choice identical to ALLOW or ASK? Further, if one is undecided as to what to do when the popup appears, it is simplicity itself just to change the effected application to Trusted instead of Untrusted on the main GUI.
2). The AV- I absolutely and completely agree that the Comodo AV is not Kaspersky or even Avast. That's why I prefer CF instead of CIS (with the local AV scanner, which I can do without). However with CF one still gets a Cloud AV; this may be confusing to some as the Containment function will often eradicate malware BEFORE the Cloud AV can respond. However the Cloud AV will sometimes kill stuff- but without any popups stating that the Comodo AV detected something- the file will just not run at all, even in Containment. This did not mean the AV is pointless; it just means one did not get a direct alert.
3). Why, Oh Why does even the most insignificant issue about Comodo get blown up as a Bug causing some to write that no one should use it, whereas with other products even the most egregious faults are blown off? The other day I posted a video (that few watched) about Avira that demonstrated the inadequacy of base protection against a malware file a few days old. 2 days later Avira posted on Wilders that they improved things, and from the page and a half of comments people just lapped this up and everything was now Rainbows and Unicorns (without evidence, of course).
But God Forbid Comodo misspells something...

Comodo gives you a lot for free. Including a lot of bugs. But look, that's not so bad, some people pay good money for other products, and get the same amount of bugs.
But seriously, it is a lot of security for no money. Comodo has improved.

i don't mind some bugs, but the one i didn't like is the "disappearing rules"; anyone knows if it is still present?Comodo gives you a lot for free. Including a lot of bugs. But look, that's not so bad, some people pay good money for other products, and get the same amount of bugs.

Basically with default deny no antivirus is needed, but why not having some extra security. Installing cis is better opinion than conflict with some other antivirus later.
Comodo devs told it themself that antivirus is very lightweight because they rely so much on firewall when having cis
If you decide to go with comodo firewall and some other antivirus than comodo, just find best one with web filter/signatures to keep cf having less work

CF 11 is a buggy release. Persistent 13% of CPU without any culprit
reverted back to CF10 with the exact same settings, never have any probem

I did not notice a hike in CPU usage in version 11. But on the other hand, I don't see why it is better than 10.
