I don't think command line is supported (works?) in the free version, so you'll need to manual update SpywareBlaster every week.

Do you know how to test if Autorun is disabled?

Which version of Comodo Cleaning Essentials do you run?

Yes, I need to update SpywareBlaster manually, but I have never tried to update it using Command Line.

I configured Avira Free to block all types of devices that use autorun and I have also downloaded a simple application from AskVG to disable autorun.

The version of CCE I am running is: 1.6.183539.73

Update: Panda URL Filter is also added.

There's a new Beta of CCE which is 2.1 or something, You should check it out as new features were implemented.

Good to know you changed your web browser. :s

However, I just noticed:
General computer knowledge: Advanced
Level of security risk: High

What brings the security risk to High?

What made you switch out Avira Free to Comodo's Antivirus (part of CIS)?

I downloaded COMODO Antivirus From here and then I disabled Avira Free. I closed COMODO Firewall from the system tray and started the installation of COMODO Antivirus. After the installation completed, CIS opened, but it asked me to restart the computer. I restarted it and everything worked normally, so I uninstalled Avira Free.

this is a strange behavior, normally i should remove Avira first , cleaning all its traces then adding CAV.

True. You should be removing any other Real Time Protection software before installing in a new one.

If you prefer, you might be better off with KeyScrambler Personal which is free for IE and FF.

Unless you do online banking/shopping you do not need Zemana. KeyScrambler is ineffective against banking malware and MRG proves this. I would go with Avast over AVG. AVG runs too many processes and is often crippled by malware.

How is AVG performing on your system? Last time I checked memory usage wasn't particularly light.

Did you do a custom install of AVG Free?

Do you use AVG LinkScanner and ID Protection too?

@Earth
I use a Custom Installation to prevent the installation of the toolbar.
@biozfear
The RAM usage isn't that high for me. You can also check my laptop's specifications.
