That Stupid Club

I’ve men­tioned that I’m using Comodo Fire­wall as my soft­ware fire­wall solu­tion. Ver­sion 3 was even bet­ter than ver­sion 2, with low CPU util­i­sa­tion (even while engag­ing in heavy P2P ses­sions) and secure (ranked con­sis­tently near the top in the Matousec fire­wall tests).

And now ver­sion 3.5 (renamed the Comodo Inter­net Secu­rity) has been released and now fea­tures an optional anti-virus com­po­nent. I can­not speak for the effi­cacy of the anti-virus com­po­nent, but the engine feels very light, and the def­i­n­i­tions get three or four updates a day. If the qual­ity of the fire­wall is any­thing to go by, the anti-virus engine should be one to keep an eye on.

Best of all? Its free (as in beer).

The final build has been released in the forums, but the pub­lic fac­ing sites have not been updated yet.
