    i wonder which one is the better setup in case of security & ressources:

    comodo internet security free (so with av)
    or comodo free firewall (with HIPS and D+ enabled) + MSE 2.x

    Currently i use the comodo free firewall with mse2 and i wonder if i should switch to the free security suite of comodo.

    I used Comodo firewall/ D+ with MSE, worked fine. Then I realized that MSE was useless with my configuration.

    mse is pretty useless.. yes.. but still i would like to have some AV that blocks some random little malware on usb sticks or similiar.. and i cant find any real tests between CAV and MSE :S

    @edit: going to switch to CIS with CAV and remove MSE.. CAV seems to be much lighter and still effective compared to MSE. Also i have way more options in CAV to set it up for my needs :)
