Comodo Inernet Security Free is good as a whole
but i prefer to mix and match various free security software to create my own Security Suite

Yep, comodo Internet security suite good but I would suggest to use three combos :

Avira Antivir free Edition + Comodo Firewall + MalwareBytes Antimalware Free.

@op
you can check out techsupportalert.com
and try their security wizard
its actually very informative and helped me build my very own customised Security Suite for free

My setup is

Avira Antivir Personal (now using 6 months Premium from a giveaway)
Comodo Firewall with disabled Defense+(due to its hyperactivity)
Winpatrol Free (Ultra light HIPS)
Threatfire (Heavy HIPS to replace D+)
Sandboxie ( applied on Firefox)
Lastpass (Password encryptor)

on demand-
Emsisoft Anti Malware Free
Malwarebytes Anti- Malware Free
Super Anti-Spyware Free

OS
Windows 7 ultimate x86 (limited privileges account)

Endgame Scenario
Paragon Backup and Recovery Free 2010

this setup is serving the purpose very well
much better than any paid Security Suites available IMO:razz:

do you think i am missing any thing?

@funkysourav you should include Panda USB vaccine


your virus protection probably uses more RaM than Windows 7

but the update process is pathetic. also they don't include any signature on the IS package. you must download close to 90Mb of update.

add Spybot Search and Destroy to the list :)

not good at all. looses badly to MWAM, Emsisoft AntiMalware, Super AntiSpyware & AdAware.

thats a good suggestion. most viruses comes from USB stick.

Re: Internet seccurity?

USB Vaccine may be a good addition for OP i agree
But if he uses Avira AV, it disables autorun from removable media by default


about the ram usage
my PC is using 1.3-1.5GB memory
and 1% of cpu at the moment

it was good before but not now - the scanning engine is the slowest of all - they should really re program a new engine - S&D uses huge amount of resource ( always hitting 100% cpu use while scanning ) and it's way too slow.

i tried 2 times & was shown around 84-85Mb & 90Mb database. i cancelled immediately. same is the status of Emsisoft Antimalware. try to update & it offers to download ~80Mb database.
