To me, this is new and thus far it appears it may be much better than AVG. What do you guys think?

Comodo Antivirus 1.1 Beta

[John Burns]

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.

it's not a good idea to run 2 av's, they each think the other is the bad guy.

i personally don't touch any beta releases.

I think you misunderstood me - I was running Comodo FIREWALL with AVG - not their AntiVirus. I never run two av's - just asking for problems.

Yes, I am not much of a fan of beta software, though the developer is highly regarded and may actually have a real winner here. 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.

i just ran their online scan and only run behind a wired router.

This means what to you?

[bearone2]

the same info from grc and symantec checks tell me i'm reasonably safe behind the router and why i don't use a firewall.

i'm only somewhat protected from stuff coming in, not going out.

Their, as in Comodo?

And, Online scan as in Virus scan?
Where did you find it?

free firewall/registered/confirmation email for a free check, not an av scan.

The products look interesting, but I hate the fact that want an email address for every thing there...

[bearbottoms]

email...hemail...shemail....who are you shooting at?

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.

not only an email address, wait for a confirmation code, which they weren't too quick in sending, to run the scan.

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.
