CIS versus Avast Internet Security

Comodo Internet Security - CIS Beta Corner - CIS
1

Hi Everyone,
Didnt have much to do this afternoon so played around with AIS to see how it performed compared to CIS.

CIS
D+ at paranoid
Comodo - Internet Security
Sandbox disabled
Leak test score 320/340

AIS
out of the box
Leak Test score 160/340

The only thing I really like about AIS is the fact that it closes connection to web page that has virus’s.

BTW I still can’t get a full score of 340 with CIS. It fails on DNS and Coat. Does anyone have any answers?

There were some explanations why Comodo Leak Test does not show the truth about CIS with a sandbox. If you switch off the sandbox - this is the same old Defence+ I think.

AIS (5.0.418) “out of the box” protects only
20. InfoSend: ICMP Test Protected
21. InfoSend: DNS Test Protected

With virtualization enabled, I get this score:

The best that you can do is use:
Avast 5 (free av) + Comodo (Firewall, Defense+ “Sandbox”… no av)

JoWa, you can’t enable/disable virtualisation. You can only virtualise something ( or not ). AIS 5.0.418 scores 120/340 out of the box.

Greetz, Red.

With “virtualization enabled” I meant ’using process virtualization’. With “out of the box” I mean the score I get without manually enable/use a feature, just double click on clt.exe… :wink:

Process virtualization is only active/used/enabled when you actualy virtualize a process. And out of the box no process is being virtualized.

There’s no such thing like Avast vs. Comodo. :slight_smile: And…do You know why? Because CIS is much better than Avast.I’ve tested the two suites for some time and…that’s the truth.Sorry for all avast users, but CIS FREE is way better. :))

+1 :-TU

Agreed - I much prefer the ethos and actions of Avast AV to CAV and the two seem to run well together.
