Hi here is an excellent post by Raymonds @raymond.cc.

Hmmmm nice article but I never faced problems like very slow speeds (5KBps)

 

Do u use Comodo AV?

 

The AV updates have always been really fast for me, and I live in Australia.

 

yeah,,how good is the antivirus?...plus i read he remove ask toolbar for yahoo-google toolbar...lol...how can

 

I have not installed comodo now. I have used comodo earlier(a month ago) and I didn't experience any slow speeds during download of updates. Infact the problem that I faced was during applications of these db updates coz comodo took hell of a time to apply even small updates and it also made my comp unresponsive for sometime during this process


BTW this is nice way to download the updates and then copy it on offline computers

 

There is no toolbar in the new Comodo as far as I know. I don't know who is spreading this disinformation.

 

Toolbar will not be there in next version. In the offline/online installer there is be option to install toolbar.

 

The toolbar option is removed from the latest installer v4.1

 

I find slow both the servers and the updater. Specially on older PCs the updater takes ages to apply the new definitions.

 

I know this will come across wrong but , I mean it in an honest way . The best workaround is to dump it . Comodo 's AV ? Seriously ? You are looking for a workaround for something that is worth absolutely nothing ? Yikes .

 

I find Avira Free's update much more problematic..
Even though I keep Comodo AV's real-time component disabled, it never failed to update for me.
