COMODO Internet Security Named Best Free AV Security in Face-Off in CNET Poll

i'm just curious...
do you use any of their (Comodo) product?

 

I use CIS5 and really like it. I used to just use the Defense+ and Firewall components as I really didn't trust the AV part, but with the recent version I installed and tested it against downloadable malware from MDL. In total it amounted to about 15 exe's before I got bored- the AV portion caught all of them. Obviously a small (and I'm sure some will say meaningless) test, but it showed me that the AV is far from worthless as some say.

In the real world of computer use I really don't frequent sites where malware abound and I don't use torrents. As such I also really haven't seen many alerts.
So as a low risk surfer a free Suite as good as Comodo is something that would be foolish to pass up. Can't really understand the bias against it, but do remember when it was très cool to bash anything by Symantec.

 

some people may have had bad experiences with Comodo products.
some people just don't like Melih and the way he does business.
i'm one of them.

let's just say that their stuff will *never* get back on my machine ever again.

 

You actually get a better view of overenthusiasm at work in the thread https://forums.comodo.com/news-anno...-the-2011-readers-choice-awards-t69322.0.html where besides a little confessed cheating, one of the mods is so certain there is an obvious votebot at work that he goes public with the accusation and goes on record that it is not condoned by Comodo. And I agree, Pete; we don't need to see the Press Announcement for this one posted in Wilders either.

 

Average users do not seem to care a lot about security. Fair to say that Comodo is special, it triggers emotion. So I think that is a unique quality of Comodo. May be an item for another press release "Comodo the only security company which triggers emotion"

 

I dont know Melih nor have i used Cis to any extent other than installing it on a friends laptop,but whenever I visit comodo forums from links posted here and Read Meihs posts and the "followers" posts ,it just reminds me of a great salesman selling snakeoil to the converted.I just dont feel comfortable somehow ,with the almost begging of Melih to his "comodo children" to get his product to the top.Whether CIS is actually good or not is another matter ,that i cant comment on

Yep, one of the strongest in the world- greed...

 

If something is not detected by the cloud or regular detection D+ and the sandbox pop in to save the day.

 

No, not drama, just fact checking.

Thanks.
