    Well at least Comodo IS is better than the OP..

    I've used it for years, but stopped using it when a new version last summer made the computer incredible slow.
    Haven't tried it since then, dunno if they fixed it.

    I tried it recently before I purchased Kaspersky Internet Security as I was hoping to find a decent security suite but it made my top of the line Notebook running with 8GB RAM on an i5 2.93 Ghz. crawl like a turtle, running a scan makes the computer not only slow, but entirely useless, and we're talking about a fast freshly formatted computer here, imagine how it'd perform on older computers! Absolute nightmare. Uninstalled it immediately and purchased Kaspersky Internet Security and never been happier. Performance is good with the best security

    Yeah, CIS was a nightmare last year, but that's not how it used to be. I've used it on old computers and had no issues with it at all.
    I'm going to try it again soon.

    Do you work for Kaspersky?

    Odd that some of you had performance issues. When I ran CIS it took up maybe 16MB of RAM and almost no disk IO/CPU. I also wasn't running the AV though, just the D+ and Firewall.

    oh no way bro! I actually hate their support people. They have no sense of customer service whatsoever. And their support forums are a joke! If you post anything that they don't like, your post gets deleted and you aren't even notified!

    The only reason I use Kaspersky and love it is that because it has kept me safe for years, and the latest version 2012 has vastly improved the performance. It is no longer a resource hog as it used to be. It now is very similar to Eset's Smart Security. You don't even feel it's there yet it is way better as its built in firewall is top notch unlike Eset Smart Security's POS firewall that allows internet access to most programs by default.

    I can confirm that the last version of CIS doesn't make the computer slow like it did last summer.
    The computer I used is 6 years old, with 3 GB RAM and W7 64 installed.

    It is a known issue that came with a version released sometime may-june last year.
    Dunno how long it was available, but if you're use anything older or newer you've probably never heard about this.

    I first installed it on my brothers brand new computer which have a Crucial M4, but after installing it was soooo slow, not just a little bit busy, and it had nothing to do with scanning, it was slow all the time.

    Yeah... MSE + Windows Firewall (to name a combination).

    I see no purpose in Internet Security Suites.
    They seem like a pretty big overkill... but as far as 'Internet Security Suites' go... Comodo seems like the best option (free-wise of course).

    The OP's preferences seem to waffle a lot in his infrequent but all AV related posts. I love comodo defense+ and firewall, not so much their AV.

    Seems like troll bait.

    Comparing protection offered by AV's against protection of entire security suites is useless.

    I'm not going to respond to the first two links (although the second site does have a mirror page offering ' Why do people HATE Comodo povs link) but what's so difficult to understand about the Matousec test?
    IT....IS...NOT....AN....AV....TEST!!!!

    CIS is NOT an AV.
    And it certainly is NOT the only viable 64-bit AV.

    And no, Comodo isn't the only free Internet Security Suite.
    Outpost also offers one link.
    I do think Comodo/CIS offers the stronger suite but it certainly isn't the only free one. Pffff...

    Comodo Internet Security is a good security suite. Protects you very well. Do not consume more resources. Has a downside: too many false alarms. When found scripts, believed to be malicious.
    Avast, MSE, AVG are better solutions.
