Season’s Greetings!
I am not using Comodo’s AV and most likely never will…( the reasons can be found I other threads… that is not very important, though), but here are few comments if I may…
First, please do not take it to close to your heart – the intent is neither to discourage using CAV and to abandoned it , nor to give you any advice to stick to it because it is the best. No!
I do understand that many are disappointed by the recent “update-event”.
At the same time why would anybody so easily make a decision to switch?
What is the point? If one used CAV and there were so many excitement around – it is hard to understand that the mistake (simple, or not so simple) … or whatever happened with the recent update caused such drastic reaction by many ???
The point:
It really doesn’t matter what AV solution you are using currently.
Sure, that should be, according to major Tests and public opinion one of the top 4-5 (I don’t want the discussion about the relevance of those tests and AMTSO here – that’s dangerous 
kidding, but True… God forbid, please don’t start)
What about the mistakes made over and over by other security solutions, which have more severe impact than the quick withdrawal of the alleged update?
Those mistakes include many known vendors and mistakes made by users themselves in the 1st place.
Was the fast withdrawal really worse than the systems being crippled by False Positives many times over the years by many security vendors?
Avira? … well that is actually brilliant AV. But what about
- its periodical updates failure?
- modules being unsigned?
it’s periodical silent crashes of the Guard (I personally requested that and the problem is still present for some OSes (2000 and XP; that was not notices though running win 7 x64 yet for 2 weeks of use)
A-squared? – the best detection rate for several years… but it has a problem with big Ikarus file update since introduction of the second engine. That is currently improved and most likely will be changed because of cooperation of two companies;
Avast? Please look at the recent horrible failure due to FPs and removal of the Software running on users computers.
Sure the later is a 99.999% users’ fault, since many are still using “auto-” quarantine/delete/healing … (how dumb is that?) but anyway…
And the decisions to move to MSE …hmmm… good luck to those users, who will do that.
As far I know, MSE with it’s not up-to-shape yet detection rate and the default heuristics will consider any high risk detection (by their opinion) as the one that must be quarantined or deleted - there is no option to set it just for notifying – which is the only safe option that one should use.
That’s my own opinion for ages and tat never failed yet, but you have all right not to listen & concur with that.
So why is there such a rush towards changing the vendor?
None of the top ranked AVs will save you from zero-days&hours ever.
All of them have their bugs and glitches and that will never end
Why would one using CAV would switch so easily and “punish”, so to speak, Comodo developers for this mistake?
Believe me - you will face the similar or rather much dramatic bugs with other security … just wait.
Finally, for those who decided to change the Firewall as well “because of” … - that is a definite mistake. Sorry, for being so blunt…
The AV …well… I don’t care much about any … but the Firewall ???
Cheers!
