The ZA firewall (free - lol) is a bear to uninstall and can really wreak havoc if not done correctly.

As for Comodo, I do use their Comodo Dragon (Chrome) Browser... and their anonymous portal. All the Chrome Extensions work with it, and my IS is BitDefender for a couple of years now.

Hasn't let me down yet.

Personally I do not want a half baked piece of software no matter how much I want it now. When I bought OD I knew it was for windows 7. I also knew I was going to upgrade to windows 8. That was my decision so I will wait for windows blinds and I am happy to do so. like I said I want my software fully baked like my pies with a crisp crust.  

I used to use ZA but it would suck the life out of my computer. I loved the UI but it took forever to load after a reboot.

See?

There ARE people out there who understand....

Karma to you, sir...

Me too... I installed Win 8 and knew full well that I'd have to wait for WB and other SD apps to be Win 8 ready.

Now where's me f***ing kama????

Don't have a clue what they paid, but MS bought RAV antivirus, what is now MSSE, from a Romanian company, GeCAD.  I actually used RAV for awhile back in the day and it was considered quite good at the time.  They also bought another AV company called Sybiri.  For awhile, MSSE was quite good, good enough for our tech support guy to have us use it for all our network desktops (we use Clam AV for the server, which is not well-known but quite good and donation-supported).  Disappointing MS haven't continued to give SE the resources it apparently needs.

You have enough already, you greedy sod....whereas TechNoWeb had none...til I came along...

I used Clam AV until I found out it does not do any real time scanning.

Ah, but you initially gave it to him for understanding... right?

Well I understood... TOO.

All men were created equal....

... and credit where credit is due.

So!  Where's me f**king karma.

P.S. Greedy sod, eh?  From somebody who's not that far behind?

I'd suggest somewhere near the hepatic flexure, wot?

Yeah, I keep reading that this Comodo software is good, so I went over to their site to take a look.  Hmmm, I'm rather impressed with their range of offerings and have downloaded the Internet Security Suite.  Although Win 8 supposedly doesn't need 3rd party security software, I would feel better with a stronger line of defence, having read the OP.

Also, I bookmarked their page for future reference, given they have various solutions to PC maintenance, etc.

You might really consider browsing with Comodo Dragon (or Ice Dragon)... it's Chrome with much higher security, and uses the same extensions.

It runs only on our network server which doesn't have much need for real-time scanning.

I'm using Immunet on my XP rig in the living room. It's cloud based and has such a small footprint, I don't even notice it running. This rig isn't exactly slopping over with power and memory. (Sempron 1.8 GHz /1.5 GB's RAM) 

 I needed something that wouldn't effect it's use as a media center but still offer real-time protection. So far, I am really liking it. Video runs smooth and I never need to worry about updating it.
