If you want just the firewall, be sure to uncheck the AV during install.

[Playa82]

is the AV any good ? because i got gdata installed now. and i want to try a free security suite when my license is gone...

somebody got a good review for that ?

[hellnoire]

Comodo's AV is crap imo. Doesn't detect even half of the stuff Norton does. If you'd like a good one, ESET's good, same with Avira.

[Playa82]

does somebody know some nice reviews for the Comodo AV ?

[hellnoire]

I know of NO good reviews for Comodo's antivirus. Just go with Avira or something instead, more power behind them.

[Playa82]

but look here:

this review says, AV isn't that bad...

can somebody confirm that ?

Comodo AV will never better than Avira's, Avira's firewall will never better than Comodo Firewall

Comodo AV will never better than Avira's, Avira's firewall will never better than Comodo Firewall
