Comodo Internet Security 6 vs Emsisoft Internet Security Pack 2013

[insanedown58]

I just want to settle out this small thought in my head. I have a friend ask me this question and I didn't know what to say.

Comodo Internet Security 6. Emsisoft has more false positive.

What are your friends top 5 requirements for choosing either of those two - please re-post those 5 parameters categorically; by order of importance.

Its also part of his curiosity. He said that Comodo Internet Security and Emsisoft were the 2 things that fall on the same level for him. He is using CIS 6 now mainly because of the detection rate and the ability to tweak it as far as the software can. He started to take notice when he saw Emsisoft on some of the PCs he fixed (not because of viruses but because of hardware problems that are in no shape connected to Emsisoft).

After cpu abuse from Comodo 6 ( cavwp.exe ) and no good answer from there forum I went back to Zonealarm

So 4 me Zonealarm with the Kaspersky engine for the antivirus is the best Free suite

It does what it has to do

Seems pretty light on my netbook with it using 2-5% of the CPU and 17 MB of Memory on idle so.. yeah.

He needs to get his priorities, right - security systems cause immense trauma when prescribed on a blind-lead-blind basis.

Just in case there are no priorities to speak of - your friend needs to personally test each of those for nothing less than 25 days per product to find out for himself.

What is suitable for me does not guarantee to suit others - JFTR, I use COMODO but find the CIS pathetic (due to a deficient AntiVirus) whereas the CAV comes across as outstanding (due to an awesome HIPS.)

However, notwithstanding what I've just written, wait-n-watch - you can expect many El Blindos with lusty prescription (one never knows which side the cookie crumbles.)

To add to the woes of your friend, there are 2 more basic data that you needed to capture before prospecting for a security system:-

• What is the system specification of the rig on which he intends to use the security?
• What is the existing security system that he's already running (in case he intends to retain the same..)

Unlike standalones, suites do not believe in co-existing peacefully with the existing security system.

Well he has a custom build PC:

Intel Core i7

16 GB of RAM

I don't know his VGA

Windows 7 Ultimate

He wants a relatively light AV that will not give a noticeable slowdown to his PC. He has Norton because of the Gigabyte board's motherboard disc.

Comodo Internet Security 6. Emsisoft has more false positive.

Emsisoft now uses Bitdefender antivirus engine!more false positive?no more :)

[dcs18]

Finally, to add blows to your friend's woes - he might possibly not be able to manage the better of those two.

EOD - the verdict might come the way of COMODO. I can attest that the latest COMODO comes with a completely rewritten GUI which is absolutely unintuitive.

It's better he decides for himself - in the meanwhile, wait for the El Blindos to . . . . . . . .

[maia]

Ah ah ah..... :lol:

Comodo antivirus is always a gruyere for viruses. Between the two suites there is no comparison in favor of Emsisoft: just look even online tests whether official or not.

In terms of firewall the two sw are both excellent but online armor premium version is more complete.

Even with default settings online armor premium gets the highest score in comodo leak test: while comodo, zone alram and outpost firewall fails!

Yes, Emsisoft last year replaced Ikarus with BitDefender engine: then the detection of viruses has become even better ... and false positives are now the norm.

My comodo leak test results with online armor premium

I have not only referred to antivirus. Behavior blocker includes too. Let me try it again.

you are wrong about one thing sorry to tell you that,but since version 5.8 CIS made great improvement to the antivirus engine now cloud detections works great too :D!@ the op you can check

@ House_maniac

Yes, I don't for a moment doubt the AV improvements in COMODO from V5 to V6 - unfortunately, I'm not comparing it against itself.

I'm comparing the COMODO AV against the very best standalone which has improved by leaps & bounds. :think:

[SkyrimGuy]

Since CIS 6 has the new sandboxie and virtualization, I would stick with that. With a little tweaking it can be a very powerful suite. Find Chiron's giude at either comodo forum or over a wilders security. He actually shows you how to put comodo keosk into full virtualization. Comodo's AV does have a few more FP's than Emsisoft but its not that bad now with the File Rep. By default D+ is turned off in CIS 6. If he wants more security I would turn it on. He might get some pop ups not nothing crazy.

yes that what i'm telling you dude its one of the best engine out there what happened is that it was a poor engine before and many false positive people tend to go by their past experience,check some late test on youtube you will see that it detection is great over 90 plus many time 97 % anyway :D like

SkyrimGuy mentioned i have done the same and i've also tick on the hips part! but if your friend doesn't like pops up i will recommend him to let it off

The engine (scanning,) detection (false positives,) the benchmarks (videos on YouTube,) etc., etc. are fine - but only when prescribed to the average Joe.

On the other hand, when it boils down to a :pirate: none of those parameters are critically relevant - we folks at this Board need a much more fine-grained config. which is just not possible in the suite-driven-AV (this is the domain of the standalones which come into their own.)

For instance, one only has to test the following 2 against each other to see the gaping difference:-

• COMODO Internet Security
• (COMODO Firewall + Eset Anti Virus as an example - one may try any other standalone, instead of EAV)

if your friend doesn't like pops up i will recommend him to let it off

As mentioned in one of my previous posts, the COMODO is not suitable for somebody (the friend) who is absolutely directionless - he won't manage to configure it. :frusty:

lol yes that true it won't be good for a novice user agreed ;)

[darko999]

I personally took Emsisoft Anti-Malware alone, and I use Comodo Firewall "Firewall mode only, proactive devense disabled" and I can tell you is one of a hell good combo.

PD: I'm not going to lie to you, Emsisoft has like twice the detection rate from CIS, CIS uses 2 much virtualization-sandbox system for protection. Emsisoft is based on heuristics from Bitdefender engine, and behavior defense from "Mamutu".

[olerd]

Comodo's strength is more on its defense+ and firewall. Although increasing the Antivirus settings High can detect almost anything. I'm not sure if there will be lots of false positive
