Thread: Comodo Internet Security 2010

Comodo has one of the nicer looking interfaces among security suites. Comodo is generally known for its firewalls than antivirus and security suites. A nice touch is also the Proactive Defense mode which sets a security level to be maintained on your system. The suite is stricter and if you set the level to Paranoid, the suite shows up alerts for every possible threat it detects. There are also presets to set the suite's functions. The suite can behave as only an antivirus, a firewall or a complete suite on demand.

The suite allows users to use some of their DNS servers to avoid any kind of domain spoofing that might happen on other public DNS services. This is something new to securi ty suites. Comodo's Internet Security suite focuses on the network aspect a lot probably because of its networking security focus in the past. The main dashboard displays network statistics and programs that are accessing the internet. Constant updates from Comodo's network are also displayed on one side.



Even starting a system scan is simple - you can choose between just the critical areas of the PC or the entire system. Advanced scans can be run using the Antivirus tab on the interface. Schedules can also be setup and presets for the same can be created. The same ease is available with the antivirus feature.

There are no performance issues whatsoever with this suite. Memory consumption stays under limits at around 10 MB at idle. Features such as data protection, identity protection or even parental control don't seem to be on the list of priorities.Although, those aren't features absolutely essential, it's still something most customers would look at while purchasing a suite.
