the best combination

D+ is a great tool, And it will only get quieter-  Btw. You need it if you want to disable that annoying nag screen from aira free

Defence + is surely necessary. The point is that these days so much malware gets produced non of the av makers can keep up with that. Even with the help of heuristics and generic signatures. So, other solutions are needed. Behaviour blocking is a strategy but with a classical HIPS like D+ you will catch more undetected malware.

In a recent article on ZD Net it was reported that this spring new malwares saw the light that were not detected anymore by the generic signatures of the av companies across the board: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9595_22-320602.html .

I hope that shed some light on why you need D+.

How to configurate security level: defence+(clean pc or safe mode) and firewall (safe mode or clean policy) and configuration:firewall,internet or proactive security?
this is a last question 

[EricJH]

I would recommend safe mode for both. You still have the advantage of the white list of trusted programs and the My Trusted Vendors list but get more grip and more alerts. But the white list and My Trusted Vendors list limit the amount.

Only use Clean PC mode when you know your system is free of malware. In this mode it will learn the rules without interrupting but all new executables will be alerted.

It's a matter of choice.

I think Avira is the best to run alongside comodo FW with defense+. Avira is light and has a very high detection level. If I dont remember wrong Avira 9 free has a spyware feature now.

Defense+ is not so hard to set up. Go to my trusted sofware vendors, add all software you know are safe from your programfiles folder and you will almost have zero pop-ups.

Security essentials also runs well along side CIS. But i dont see much point of using any other AV then the Comodo one because they all miss malware and Comodo's detection rate isnt to bad at all. Also you have Defense + anyway which catches everything. The only thing that might make me drop the Comodo AV is if false positives don't improve. But turning heuristics off seems to have stopped a lot of them.
