Comodo Antivirus Overview
Comodo Antivirus is a free security product for Windows from the security company Comodo, notable for its containment-based approach to unknown files. In addition to traditional signature and behavioral detection, it can run untrusted or unrecognized programs inside an isolated sandbox (auto-containment), so a potentially malicious file cannot harm the real system until it is judged safe. It also includes a host intrusion prevention system and web filtering. This default-deny philosophy distinguishes it from conventional scanners, though it can require more user interaction. It uses a freemium model. A Virtual Desktop lets you run a whole isolated environment for risky browsing, and a firewall component is available in Comodo's broader internet-security package. This page points to the genuine Comodo Antivirus source from Comodo Security Solutions,, not a third-party host.
