I actually liked the real time protection on this one. But I seriously question its results. False positives all over the place. Also, I wonder if it is wise to have a combined antivirus/firewall (since I also use comodo firewall). I have also experienced temp lockups on scanning files and sometimes the software demands a reboot for removal (of some obvious false positive no less). Also, I had periodic activity spikes that really bugged me a lot.

I have been using Comodo products for about 4 years now and I love them.
The AV scan is fairly heavy on resources so try to schedule your scans at a time when you're not using the pc.
It's a piece of software that I recommend to everyone.

I used this for a while, and although it worked well, I switched back to the OS default. I'm a low-risk user, so I found it a bit prohibitive and time consuming with all the false positives. It would often take a bunch of tweaking to get things like my FTP or Box.net apps to work. I would recommend this for high risk users, though, as it seems to always err on the side of caution.

Full of bugs, keeps messing up and won't update to latest version. Back to PC Tools Firewall.

Okay after some testing, it seems to block my SmartFTP. No idea how to unblock it.
So I'm back to using ZoneAlarm firewall and Avast :/

Commodo Antivirus is a smaller application, not so bloated as COMODO Internet Security :
For the persons, whom COMODO Internet Security appears to bloated, there is an alternative free COMMODO application,
which offers only virus-protection: http://alternativeto.net/desktop/comodo-antivirus.

Really nice application, I actually use only Defence+, too bad that it is a bit slow on startup - need to find a better alternative for a weak netbook.
