jjtricket Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Your right, just noticed that Comodo Internet Security is number one. Does anyone here use this? Please let us know what you think. Looks promising especially for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarre™ Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Actually, most of us here are COMODO Fanatics :frusty:We already knew that COMODO is #1 even before Matousec's announcement :nono: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czullo Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 i usce COMODO firewall + Avira :nono: great combination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberB Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Umm this is just a firewall test, of course a dedicated firewall like Comodo would come out on top over companies like Symantec and ESET. No way in hell that Comodo's antivirus would even have a chance against Norton and NOD32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarre™ Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 @UberB:Well I didn't say that we're using their antivirus package... for now :nono: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KotaXor Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Never really like firewall....especially the previous version of Comodo.Just installed the latest version and viola, was very surprise :rolleyes: No prompting :blink: even while playing online games! :pope: So quiet!

Zeus_Hunt Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 No way in hell that Comodo's antivirus would even have a chance against Norton and NOD32.Never thought that Norton and NOD32 would be used in the same line describing a quality that both share.I think I m finding Eset internet security a little overwhelming on my tiny laptop.I am giving a thought of trying out Norton Internet security..I think its around 10 years that I have even thought of doing so...I was wondering how a NOD32 v2.7 and Comodo firewall do. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jota.Ce Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Your right, just noticed that Comodo Internet Security is number one.At these proves (firewall).I mean you have 84 tests in which COMODO is the best and ESET is an idiot with 4%.If you take 1000 old tests more, COMODO could mark 1083/1084 and ESET 1002/1084, both at 95%+.If i take only 100 viruses that ESET detects but not CIS, then ESET has 100% of detection and CIS only 0%. You can take a sample set of your convenience to show what you want.Anyway i have to admit that ESET firewall is poor and i'd like a better firewall for ESET, i have to admit it.I instaled Kaspersky IS in laptop due to matousec's tests, but i don't like its firewall. It lets every known process connect to internet (i don't wank that, so i had to cut-down permissions to known apps). And you can't assign temporal permissions to a process, so it sucks when you use one tool for one time.And the same with installers and application surveillance, sometimes it's good avoiding certaing things, but sometimes it sucks a lot.

Bizarre™ Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 @Jota.Ce:I blame COMODO for integrating the AV with the Firewall.I guess it's their marketing strategy.In the past, a few are willing to test their AV.All the same, if they manage to improve their AV...

nooooooooo Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Meh, Comodo and Online armor may pass the most tests, but I can't get over their interfaces. I think I'll stick with Outpost till I die lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harpua Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I use Comodo for the firewall with everything else disabled and Eset AV latest v.4 version. And keep SAS and MBAM loaded and updated in case anything gets though that needs better cleaning than what EAV can do. Very happy with that combination.Just cleaned a friends machine that was infected with "cryptor" that slipped through her AVG free installation. MBAM saved the day, but was tricky to get loaded on the infected machine due to the virus's built in self defense mechanisms. Had to rename MBAM's .exe to slip by it so it would install. Needless to say, she's now running ESS (being a novice, that's the best solution for her). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think this is better than what I'm running?ps:- (I tried out ZoneAlarm to simulate a problem that Mo Husen was having in fixing it.)

Bizarre™ Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 @Donaldo:COMODO Firewall is among the best.I'm not sure about their AV, but there are rumors spreading that v3.9 Beta has higher detection rates (with or without heuristics) than other AV (profit or non-profit).I just have one advice: be cautious if you plan on testing v3.9 Beta.As for me, I'll wait for the the latest stable build of v3.9 :frusty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddy Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Never really like firewall....especially the previous version of Comodo.Glad you decided to install a firewall. :ninja: Just installed the latest version and viola, was very surprise :frusty: No prompting :frusty: even while playing online games! :sneaky: So quiet!:sleep: Wonder if you recollect the time when I'd reported that COMODO (think it was Pro 3.0.25.378) was very silent and nobody would believe me.

Donaldo Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 OK guys, I'm going for it. Thanks for the prompt response, Bizarre™ - I don't fancy the beta, myself downloading 3.8.65951.477 (45.26 MBs) instead. Shall report on my findings shortly.

harpua Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 One of the things I like about Comodo Firewall, aside from the fact that it's pretty darn good, is that they were one of the few to early on support vista x64. If I'm not mistaken, Zone Alarm still to this day doesn't support Vista x64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
