    simply the best, better than any paid for product i have used, many features many people do not use but have comodo on their systems - are the fully virtual system, that when used causes no harm to pc - regarding malware - the safe shopping system, and the ability to run a browser in a safe contained environment too!

    Review by a new / low-activity user.
