That's right, I said "soft-mare", because this software is a nightmare! It is, by far, one of the worst applications I have ever made the mistake of trying to use. In conclusion, Comodo is superb for some users, potentially far better than most other tools out there, but a potential disaster or just plain inappropriate for most other users, in my view. Often they release upgrades which are not adequately tested and then can cause major problems for some users, so be aware of this and use system restore before an upgrade.

On the good side, but for a fee of 50 per year, there is online support available to help set up and support any configuration or other PC problems, so if you can benefit pro this then Comodo is good for you.Īnother common problem with Comodo is their very mixed level of quality. An experienced user can deal with this, but an inexperienced one can completely mess things up and open up their system to attack. But in my experience because the Comodo white list is not as comprehensive as Norton or Kaspersky, a user may find some legitimate software blocked or denied too many rights to run properly. Highly capable suite but unless you are very experienced with your processes and connections and for example know exactly what to allow svchost.exe to connect to or which other processes to interact with, then stay well away from this suite because you may inadvertently block good traffic and processes and allow malicious traffic and processes to attack your PC.Ĭomodo and many users say that inexperienced users should simply use the default deny mode, which is true up to a point. There is no substitute for personal experience. I could buy a big-name AV again, but what for? This software, oddly, doesn't get rated by some reviews/AV tests. I would wholly recommend this security suite. This problem doesn't happen with Comodo, or at least hasn't happened to me. It's very irritating to have located a virus or trojan only to find your AV can't dispose of it. There are no half-hearted messages saying ' cannot entirely delete the file cannot be deleted '. Getting rid of Trojans, viruses etc is very simple, a couple of clicks and it's gone.

This superior vigilance was impressive and made the others look sleepy. Whilst Avira and Avast eventually spotted the fake malicious file ( after I'd opened it, or when attempting to open it ), Comodo spotted it significantly quicker, before I'd gone near it, and immediately flagged a warning. I ran a few tests against its main rivals, using AV testing downloads. Virus detection, etc: I have found Comodo to be the most vigilant and thorough solution to the prevention and deletion of malicious items. Most of these flags are just procedure and don't indicate anything malicious. Occasionally, a flag will appear, asking whether to allowblock certain actions, which just needs a little attention and is not a problem.

Once configured, it is unobtrusive and works without fuss.

Intermittently, I've loaded one of the other main rival free AVs, but have settled back here again. I have been using Comodo for some time now.
