| 779600 | 2009-06-04 06:33:00 | Hi all. I presently have Comodo Internet Security and am on Telecom/Xtra. They off a McAfee suite, for nix. My question is should I change over to this or stay with Comodo? Thanks, Ian. | ianhnz (4263) | ||
| 779601 | 2009-06-04 06:39:00 | Stay away from McAfee - its in the same bloat ware, problems causing category as Norton. IF you install McAfee, the PC will slow down, often it fails and stops all Internet access, and misses heaps of infections. If you want good AV - Free = Avast, or Paid = Nod32. Use the Firewall portion of Comodo. |

| 779602 | 2009-06-04 06:47:00 | Thanks, wainuitech. I was woundering about that. I have not had a problem, with Comodo and have used it for years. I had not know that it also check for malware, until today. I was reading an article in the Herald, today, about Tetrus and had not played for years. I did a search and downloaded on. Before I installed I asked Comodo to check it out. Came back and said no virus and then a box popped up and said had malware in it and it destroyed it, or whatever it does. | ianhnz (4263) | ||
| 779603 | 2009-06-04 07:23:00 | When you installed the firewall portion you may have installed the AV part too. I've heard its not too bad, but I would stick with Avast! for now, Comodo is still quite new. Blam |

| 779605 | 2009-06-04 07:35:00 | Hi ya, Blam . Yes I've got the antivirus, firewall and defense all runing and have not had a problem with Comodo. Okey then:) If you're a typical user, any AV will do fine really. As long as you're not a teen....:stare: |
