What do you guys think? Comodo Antivirus 1.1 Beta |  | Senior Member with 1,362 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 1999 Location: Oklahoma City, OK, USA Experience: Intermediate | | It IS free! I tried their firewall and gave it up because it fought with my AVG mail scanner. I'm sure Comodo AntiVirus is built to work with Comodo firewall - so it may be worth a try. One word of caution - I notice it's still in Beta. Sometimes Beta programs are more effort than people want to invest. |  | Account Disabled with 5,857 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: hawaii Experience: Advanced | | Quote: |

i personally don't touch any beta releases.  | | | Senior Member with 1,362 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 1999 Location: Oklahoma City, OK, USA Experience: Intermediate | | Quote: |

I never run two av's - just asking for problems. | | | Senior Member with 210 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Louisiana Experience: Computer user since 1980 | | Quote: |

I think I'm going to test it...maybe along with their firewall....what the heck-I'm backed up, have all my installation CD's, an external hard drive, and four dogs. | | | Account Disabled with 5,857 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: hawaii Experience: Advanced | | i just ran their online scan and only run behind a wired router.

i'm only somewhat protected from stuff coming in, not going out. |  | Trusted Advisor - Gone but never forgotten with 9,280 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Whitby, Ontario | | Quote: |

#13 | I download Comodo AntiVirus today after I seen it in a ezine. So far I like it. They need your email address for your Activation Code (they even show you pictures how to enter your Activation Code  ...  ) and for questions you may have about the licensing process. | | | Account Disabled with 5,857 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: hawaii Experience: Advanced |

a little peace of mind, supporting grc/symantec but i don't do anything financial on the computer so let someone come get my resume' and music lists. | | | Distinguished Member with 2,159 posts. | | Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: S.C Experience: Malware Fighter |
