Hi,
I would like to know, which firewall should I run with Cloud Antivirus?
Could you please answer to this very important question!!
CAN I USE COMODO CLOUD ANTIVIRUS WITH COMODO FIREWALL???

Thank you very much.

I am also wondering if CCAV is compatible with Comodo firewall. No responses to above post yet.
There seems to be a lot of overlap/duplication - sandbox, viruscope, whitelists etc - that would only bloat the dual installation.
I am concerned that this would slow access, take up more space (especially of concern on tablet) and may cause conflicts. Your thoughts?
Is Comodo looking at a combined CCAV with built in firewall for reasons mentioned above? In the meantime, I will continue to rely (?) on Windows firewall (yuk). I have used CIS for years (and loved it), but looking for a lighter approach.

I have asked the same question here https://forums.comodo.com/general-discussion-off-topic-anything-and-everything/is-a-good-firewall-still-needed-t115018.0.html

The answer from BuketB was

So, I guess you can use CFW + CCAV.
But, as you pointed out before, you need to disable the duplicated feature (sandbox, viruscope) in one or in the other.

My suggestion would be:

  • CCAV: cloud AV + viruscope, disable auto-sandbox (not sure if you can have viruscope enable with auto-sandbox disable)
  • CIS: FW + HIPS + sandbox + cloud lookup, disable viruscope and webfiltering (I personally don’t use it, I prefer a browser plugin for that), remove AV from the installation (or don’t install AV on a fresh installation)

Like this you should be able to use CCAV together with CIS without any compatibility issues

After some more reading and testing, I’ve changed my mind about the best configuration with CCAV + CIS:

  • CCAV: cloud AV + viruscope + auto-sandbox (so, CCAV with all features enabled)
  • CIS: FW + cloud lookup + HIPS (in CIS sandbox takes precedence over HIPS, I hope the same will happen if we use two different softwares); disable sandbox, viruscope and webfiltering (I personally don’t use it, I prefer a browser plugin for that), remove AV from the installation (or don’t install AV on a fresh installation)

As you can see here https://forums.comodo.com/beta-corner-ccav/comodo-cloud-antivirus-first-public-beta-release-t113498.120.html, CCAV auto-sandbox is different (easier, but somehow more powerful) than the CIS one, mainly because of a newer version of Viruscope (recognizers v9.0.0.XXXX instead of v8.2.0.YYYY).

As you can see here https://forums.comodo.com/bug-reports-cis/spyshelter-test-t115145.0.html, CIS auto-sandbox has some troubles running on Windows 10

Since the latest CIS update broke my internet connection, I had to uninstall CIS.
Then, I re-installed CFW only and I was going to install CCAV too, but it said CCAV is not compatible with CIS…
Well, I can understand the incompatibility with CIS, but why it’s not compatible with CFW ???

CCAV and Comodo Firewall are not compatible yet:
