Title: Avast - Comodo Defense+ - ThreatFire compatibility?
Post by: livre1 on February 16, 2012, 10:26:22 AM
Can I have these three programs installed at the same time?


The doubt arose because I have the ASC (Advanced System Care) installed, Comodo and recognizes it as safe, however it blocks access to the memory of the Smart Ram asc.

Is there any danger of it "hang" Avast or do not operate it correctly?

I have to change some configuration for compatibility?

*I have also installed Threatfire, however so far not seen any problems with it.

** I'm from Brazil and my English is not good for text.

I used Google translator.

careful with Avast auto-sandbox and Comodo auto-sandbox (from def+), I'd advise to deactivate one of the two.

I would not have ASC ( iobit ) products installed as there a suspect company who steal other company's signiture's, Malwarebytes for one.
Threatfire ( Norton ) have just released a new version of this i think so dont know too much about it but it used to be quite heavy on it's usage, preferably for me if i was wanting a nice light behavioral ( hip's ) monitor the top choice would be WinPatrol imo.

Comodo would be a defense against attacks on him?

So ASC contains a bug?

With avast, comodo and defence+, personally I see no need for threatfire, but that's just me.

any program that tries to tamper with comodo or even scan.... ok or even when CCE or CAV tries to scan its own files comodo defense+ will not let you touch its files just to tell :) maybe yes but modification is near impossible....... no need to run threatfire it sucks..... comodo defense+ does an excellent job :D no doubt

Threatfire is not required because Avast has a behavior shields included which is very powerful against Threatfire and more up to date than Threatfire, when using Comodo FW and Defense+ turn off Comodo sandbox and only used Avast autosandbox having both sandbox running together can cause conflicting between both software ;)

Remember when you get Avast 7.0 when is ready you don't need Comodo cloud scanner either, and IF I'm not mistaken Avast 7.0 will have a cloud scanner as well so there no need to have both running as well ;)

I do not use any type of cloud scanner and turn off many things in programs such as "contributing to the community by sending information" to have an internet more "quickly".

Still use dial-up Internet ...

So far Comodo has not blocked any more, I believe that the "problem" is with the ASC accessing components of Comodo.


Thanks for all the answers.

+1.
Not just you!

@OP, definitely ditch ASC and never ever use anything from IObit as per recommended advice above in this thread.
