Publisher's Description
From Comodo:
Comodo Internet Security 2011 is the free, multi-layered, security application that offers complete protection from viruses, Trojans, worms, buffer overflows, zero-day attacks, spyware and hackers. Built from the ground upwards with your security in mind, Comodo Internet Security combines powerful Antivirus protection, an enterprise class packet filtering firewall, advanced host intrusion prevention, application control and anti-spyware in one supremely powerful application. The latest version sees a major leap forward in security and usability with the addition of cloud based virus-scanning and behavior analysis of unrecognized files - making CIS 2011 unbeatable at detecting zero-day attacks. Under default settings, unknown and untrusted files are automatically scanned by our cloud-based virus scanners then, while the file undergoes behavior analysis on our cloud server, it is run in a sandbox on your local machine so that it cannot modify or affect data on your 'real' system. Put simply, this ground-breaking method of protecting your PC means that only trusted applications are allowed to run on your computer. Malware and untrusted files get nowhere near anything important AND you get to use your computer without interruption from nagging alerts. CIS 2011 also features a friendly graphical user interface; granular configuration options; easily understood and informative alerts; wizard-based detection of trusted zones and much more. Comodo Internet Security delivers enterprise class protection and can be used out of the box - so even the most inexperienced users will not have to deal with complex configuration issues after installation. Comodo Internet Security is available in many different languages and is free for life.
What's new in this version: Trustconnect - CIS auto-detects unsecured wireless connections and lets you connect using TrustConnect. Faster AV scans with 'Smart Scan' Technology improved. Malware deletion capabilities improved. Dragon browser is included with CIS fixed. Various bug fixes to improve security/performance.

"COMODO is great!"
Version: Comodo Internet Security 5.9
Pros
This security suite provides comprehensive, light and the most powerful protection. The interface is intuitively clear and suitable as for beginners as for experienced users.
Cons
The installer could be smaller just by separating choices for 32 and 64 bit OS. I would prefer smarter GUI. Although the size of antiviral updates is decreased it still remains rather cumbersome.
Summary
This peace of software deserves attention of those who want to have a reliable and user-friendly security application. Any questions can be answered in an amiable and proficient COMODO forum.

"Defense+ is a nightmare"
Version: Comodo Internet Security 5.9
Pros
You can pause virus scans, which is necessary since they take more than 6 hours.
Cons
The Defense+ part of the program blocks windows update and many other common programs from doing normal updating activity. It must not have access to whitelists, as basically everything sets it off. The program also does not learn from your inputs. I set it to allow a number of programs, but everytime a new scan happens, it resets the log of allowed programs so you have to start over. I have not had a worse experience with a security suite.
Virus scans are extremely slow, and atrociously resource intensive. I've had scans take nearly 10 hours. Whenever a scan is happening, my computer is basically locked down.
I can't in good conscious recommend this to anyone.Summary
1. Super aggressive, has persistent false positives on even basic Windows functionality.
2. Doesn't learn. Every time you do a scan it forgets what you taught it.
3. Extremely slow resource intensive scanning. -
"Either it's the most complete security program ever or"
Version: Comodo Internet Security 5.9
Pros
Don't know, it hasn't finished scanning.
Cons
After 27 hours, it still continues to scan my machine.
Summary
Give us more information in setting up the program or make its interface more simple to use, in either case it comes down to either it's the program or it's me, but if it's me, I will probably no longer use it, although I really like the company. It just hasn't worked out for me.

"Blocks install of many programs"
Version: Comodo Internet Security 5.9
Pros
Could not find any.
Cons
It prevented Nightly from installing any updates and tried to close off my printer's health evaluation service. The program was uninstalled, a complaint written to the software provider, but no response was provided.
Summary
Install at your own risk.

"Comes making lots of promises"
Version: Comodo Internet Security 5.9
Pros
Seems very thorough.I Like the virtual enviroment (sandbox) facility
Cons
Freezes my pc on start-up; screen does not progress from the welcome screen to my user account.
Summary
Good program but it may have compatability issues with my Windows 7 64 bit system. Will try again to load it. As with all programs sometimes they need a bit of work to get it to work right.

"Great All-In-One Protection"
Version: Comodo Internet Security 5.9
Pros
Comprehensive set of tools that covers anti-virus, firewall and to a lesser degree, malware/spyware
Works just as well as the non-free versions
Does not require annual registrationsCons
Setting up firewall rules can be confusing
Advanced settings are not always intuitive
In Safe Mode, it questions every application and can get annoyingSummary
For a free all-in-one Internet Security suite, it's hard to beat Comodo Internet Security.

"Great free full-featured IS suit"
Version: Comodo Internet Security 5.9
Pros
Great at blocking malware.
Cloud scanner.
Good GUI.
Sandbox.Cons
AV still need to improve.
Initial AV database update is very long, not really good for those who have slow internet connection.Summary
Not really recommended for normal user. All of the program will run in sandbox in initial run of CIS, but after some time you will get use to it ;)
