It comes with AV built-in! and rebranded as Comodo Internet Security. You had better download manually the new version CIS 3.5 from the official website (not through the updater). Good luck! @alvin

I tried blocking the sites in the restriscted zone of ZA but it kept coming with a new one. It got past through ZA ProTo top this AVG was not able to intercept the virus/malware and it shut down my system. In short it boiled down to reformatting my hdd and had to do a full windows re-install to get rid of it. I used Avast Home Free and Windows firewall but again last Aug the same pest came to me..Avast didnt detect it at all. I only knew when I tried to do a system boot and walaah!!! I was infested with malware/trojans that i cannot remove. It took Malwarebytes / Superantispyware to remove all of it. I also found out that Avast now detects malware in tandem with MBAM and SAS..seems the engine was challenged by the two. Lastly I added COMODO FP 3.0 because I didnt want to use ZA anymore owing to the experience. But I agree with HWDOT that ZA is easier to use than COMODO FP 3.o free version. Its good I feel safe enough but I find this one a nagging firewall and my kid can shut it down if he wants to. ZA has a password set if you want to shut it down but with CFP ..ehhh none. THERE IS ONE MORE GRAVE PROBLEM....I GET THE ERROR 109 whe I update CFP 3.0 free!!!! and up to now I cant update it!! All in all I feel safer BUT I really need to update CFP ver3.0, this is the only software that I have encountered with updating problems. gee tnx. alvin Hey guys,

CFP 3 has a good feature for our security, its Defense+ to monitor our apps. Nevertheless, its 'frequently' alerts may bother some people (like u and me too :) ). so, if you need to minimize it, just set up your Defense+ security level to.."Clean PC Mode".."Training mode" or even "Disabled" if you don't need it.

Hmm, I think it's protection is much better than ZA, but something really bothers me, CFP reports too many unneeded alerts, such as when firefox tries to save web page, when I'll uninstall software, etc. Are there some ways to minimize CFP's alerts? thanks I’ve installed comodo firewall pro 3.
