Please don’t have a go at me just because I’m a Comodo fanboy and I’m still using Avast AV free version okay ;D, Avast hasn’t improved detecting the number of malware count against Comodo AV see for yourself and you judge for yourself Avast.
I’m getting a bit worried about Avast hasn’t improved detecting the number of malware count against Comodo AV review between Comodo and some other AVs against the FREE version.
i’m not gonna have a go with you because youre a comodo fanboy…i like comodo too(their firewall at least)…the problem with the detection test you show us is that first of all the avast is in beta version(he uses avast 5.1.822).secondly you can never know if thats a fraud.for example he can use 7.000malware and add 3.000 clean files and say that this folder contains 10.000 malware…then scans with avast and finds a percentage…then he adds 10.000 malwares and no clean files and scans with comodo etc.
dont get me wrong i’m not saying that this is a fraud i just say you cant know for sure if its a legitimate test…i dont know if comodo av can detect more than avast and i think that depends on the personal opinion of each user and the personal “tests” we run at home,because of the fact that there is no official test including both of them in it…maybe if av-comparatives adds comodo in its tests then we will have a clearer image but untill then use the av that suits you most(according to your needs and usage)…
Numbers are for statisticians - what really counts is the types of malware killed. So if eight variants have just one name with Avast who cares ? Not I
Comodo may do well on YouTube tests, but most more professional reviews says it has a bad antivirus, and Def+ leaves it up to the user which usually isn’t a good thing.
Any time I look at these type of posts I must ask is the test(S) being done truly without bias, if there is any advertisement for any type of security products a big red flag goes up for me. Also what type of baddies are being identified in these tests. Nope the bottom line is a simple one, do the security products I have installed on my machine provide me with the protection I desire. What works well for me may not work at all for you, it is a matter of personal choice. Over the years I have tried all the FREE virus protection software and some have done a better job for me than have others. Currently using AVAST because AVIRA messed up my SpywareBlaster.
I tried the latest CIS (again) a couple of months ago just because ‘Tech’ was talking about it. It was so good at finding malware… it blocked over 100 safe files! ???
I’m only question about the Avast AV not Comodo AV, Vladimyr and I wouldn’t even touch the Comodo AV with a 10 foot pole for the next 2 years and beside Avast has been in the AV security business longer then Comodo.
Vladimyr IF Comodo has beaten Avast in their overall detection rate in their free product by the av-comparatives and ICSA Labs test, and this could lead to a worry against Avast. Also I’m not looking for a hostile response I just wanted to make sure Avast is keeping them selfs in the lead.
Sorry. But I think I’ve only advocated for better protection by the so-called “deny all” policy from Comodo.
After all, the Behavior Shield of version 5.1 (passive) and 6 (active) will try to fill this feature.
The clean files blocked seem to be blocked by the autosandbox and not by the antivirus.
Comodo software development is going very slow.
I’m really disappointed of what they did with Comodo Time Machine.
Off the Topic:- What happen Tech did your PC got kill really bad :‘( lucky for me I would never touch this and it really did mess up with friend PC when I helped him out reformatting the whole HD :’(
Having been invited to visit the Olympic venue in Sydney in 2000, as I walked through the “Athletes Village” a man dressed in a lycra bodysuit and carrying a long pole walked towards me. “Are you a pole vaulter?” I asked. “No. I’m German.” he said, “But how did you know my name is Walter?”
I use the Comodo Firewall but not the Defense+. Defense+ requires informed decisions and sometimes even informed decisions are not enough to make the right choice. I think Melih’s original premise was to make anti-virus obsolete. I gave it a try, but the software was forever in “school” and became so annoying “learning” that I disabled it.
It has always been my policy never to use software that combines anti-virus and firewall together for the reason that it’s very easy for hackers to disable both at the same time. The best firewall in the world in my opinion used to be AtGuard (I miss it terribly and was begging the authors along with other users to make it XP compatible). It was straight forward and virtually idiot proof.
Since I’m not up to 20:
