Comodo Internet Security 6.0 with Kingsoft Free Antivirus combo test

Hello, this is Mike from compLextechzone and this is a test of the Comodo Internet Security 6.0 with Kingsoft Free Antivirus 2012 combo. The settings are left on default except that I enabled the HIPS feature in comodo. I have to say this is a really effective combination and I do recommend it. No impact on system performance at all.




Pros: Light on system even though it's a combo
          Effective
          Free
          Pretty strong protection from unknown threats
          User friendly

Cons: Novice users might not understand the HIPS alert but it is disabled by default so that should be fine

F-Secure Internet Security 2013 test

Hello everybody, this is Mike from compLex Tech Zone and here is the test of the F-Secure Internet Security 2013.

My Opinion: I was really really impressed of how solid F-Secure internet security is built. It is really good in blocking malware but it is a bit too heavy though. I could really feel an impact on system performance when F-Secure Internet Security 2013 was installed. During installation, F-Secure reported malwarebytes as an incompatibility issue so it uninstalled malwarebytes. Not really happy with that. But other than being an impact on the system, I like it a lot.

Not really recommended. Because it does impact system performance but if it works fine on your system then go ahead. It is a really good suite

Pros: Rock solid protection
          Effective and good behavior guard (DeepGuard)
          Feature packed
          High detection rates

Cons: Uses a lot of system memory and impacts system performance
           Not free

Avira Free Antivirus 2013 test

Hello everybody, this is compLex TechZone and here is the review of Avira Free Antivirus 2013. Hope you guys enjoy it.


My opinion: I used to be an avira customer. It has let me down but this 2013 version really got me impressed. I was surprised to see that the detection rate has improved by 50% since the last time i used it.

Recomended

Pros: Good detection rates
          Effective web guard
          Very light on system resources
          Faster update speeds than before
          Free
          Simple

Cons:  Heuristics cannot be said that fantastic
            Not feature packed
           Have to implement a behavioral analysis module and cloud based detection in the free version

Panda Cloud Free Antivirus 2.1 test

Hello everybody, compLex TechZone here. Today we tested a free cloud antivirus from Panda.

                                                                                                     

My opinion: Really light free antivirus. Nothing complicated and very simple to use. I think it is a pretty decent antivirus program despite the fact the detection rates ain't fantastic but it still gets the job done.

Recomended

Pros: Free
         Doesn't impact system performance
         Easy to use
         Decent heuristics/ suspicious file detection

Cons: Zero day detection can't be said that good for even a cloud antivirus
           Behavioural detection modules didn't kick into action
           Not many bells and whistles
