Looking for Guidance on the Best Comodo Internet Security Configurations to Increase Protection

Hello Everyone :hugs:,

Since having been utilising Comodo Internet Safety for some time, I’ve been pleased by both the breadth of its capabilities and the degree of security it provides. But since cybersecurity threats are constantly changing, I want to make sure that my system is set up to be as secure as possible without sacrificing too much speed.

I’m contacting the community to get suggestions and guidance on the best Comodo Internet Security settings.

I have a special interest in the following few areas in particular:

Firewall Configuration: How should my firewall be set up to keep out unwanted access and make sure my system is safe from both external and inbound threats? :thinking: Do you suggest enabling or adjusting any particular rules or settings? :thinking:

Antivirus Settings: Although the default settings function effectively, are there any custom configurations or advanced settings that can offer superior protection against viruses and malware without having a major negative influence on system performance? :thinking:

Host Intrusion Prevention System, or HIPS: I am aware that HIPS is a strong feature, however configuring it can be very difficult. Is there a way to configure HIPS to maximise system security and reduce false positives without going overboard? :thinking:

How useful are auto-containment and sandboxing in practical applications? :thinking: Do I need to make any changes to increase their effectiveness in managing potentially hazardous applications, or should I rely only on the default settings? :thinking:

General Advice: Do you have any further advice or lesser-known Comodo Internet Security features that you think are very helpful for keeping a safe and effective system? :thinking:

Any advice, mlops tips, or firsthand knowledge you could offer on these subjects would be highly appreciated.

Thank you :pray: in advance.

I’ve always been satisfied with Comodo’s protection, but now I only use the firewall with built-in cloud protection and the isolator with Cruelsister’s great settings, for which I thank Him gratefully.

and VirusScope(Static and Dynamic Analysis with machine learning)

CruelSister setup is the most straight forward and bullet proof as demonstrated in this recent test again the latest stealer malware: Comodo Firewall Against New Data Stealer

Unfortunately, it is not constantly updated.
It takes months or years without updating, because the version never changes.

it is updated now with the 2025 Xcitium version

If you look at the dates this was in month 4.
Proving that it is not constantly updated.
I’m thinking that it is updated every version of the product is released, which takes many years to release.
As a result, we do not use VirusScope with all the protection it should have.
I say this because it was what I gathered from the information as shown in the image.

the thing is VirusScope is doing excellent and its catching the newest malware like the new Stealer
and also at Valkyrie it is doing great
