Comodo HIPS and avast fileshield query.
« on: July 15, 2013, 07:48:33 PM »
Hello Avast forum and good day to you all.

I currently am running comodo firewall 5.12 and avast 8 together.
Comodo has a HIPS and im wondering if i should turn this off seeing as avast has a fileshield.

Is there any known conflicts between these 2 running together or can i safely turn off the comodo HIPS.
Thank you. :D

There is not an incompatibility.
They are different technologies.
I suggest you read a little more about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host-based_intrusion-prevention_system#Host-based

No incompatability here either; However, I do set some exclusions:
