What is Comodo Antivirus?

Comodo Antivirus is developed by Comodo, a cybersecurity company founded in 1998 and now headquartered in Clifton, New Jersey. The product uses a default deny approach: any file that is not already verified as safe runs inside an isolated sandbox through Comodo's Auto Containment technology, rather than being scanned and allowed to run freely like traditional signature based tools. A permanently free version is available alongside paid plans.

Paid tiers, sold as Internet Security Pro and Internet Security Complete, add live GeekBuddy expert support, online backup and expanded device coverage on top of the free antivirus, firewall and web filtering features. The interface offers Paranoid, Safe, Clean PC and Training security modes for different levels of user control. Plans are billed annually and Comodo offers a 30 day money back guarantee on paid purchases.
