I ve lost my trust in BitDefender during a year or so after seeing instability ,BSOD -s ,lock-ups , HDD corruption while using it and observing the inability of fixing the issues from the BD coders.I dont know how BitDefender works at this moment ,maybe they fixed their issues ,but I ll stay away from iit at least 1 year.I never had infections with it.
If a similar thingy happens with Avast i ll do the same.I m refering to annoying issues which Avast team is not able to fix in time .Keep in mind i had a 1 year license for BD and i simply stopped using it and as you know it s not a free AV.
Anyway I m using Avast for maybe 2 years and a half now and i dont think i ll see it beeing uninstalled silently.Avast 5 is already a mature product thing i cant say about Comodo 4.The Avast team do fix issues faster than BD team ,better feedback and support in my point of view.
In Comodo case they already struggle with this vulnerability for some time now and they ve said they fix it.Now looking at the video we can see they didn t
Comodo is the software that is known for the huge number of pop-ups and seeing it now that it was silent when beeing "done" maliciously surprized me.It was also always considered the best and we can see it failing in protecting it s own files.
If i use sandboxie + a HIPS ,which Comodo tryed to integrate in CIS 4 ,i will get pop ups from the HIPS when something tryes to get out of Sandboxie.Another question is why at default Comodo did not asked nothing ,this is what i see in the video.
One of the features I look for at a security software is the self protection ,Comodo failed .
Another feature is the ability of the coding team to solve problems fast ,the vulnerability was known ,they said it s fixed ,we can see it s not.2 elements that broke my trust in Comodo.
Remember we are talking about security software where any minute counts .We also know rogue is the fastest changing thingy on the internets.You can t wait days for something like this to get fixed.
Someone that uses W7 can simply activate the build in firewall and personally and manually uninstall Comodo before it gets uninstalled by something else.
