Comodo是一家总部位于美国的公司，它已经建立了一个相当受欢迎的品牌，主要基于他们的免费安全产品，如Comodo Free Internet Security或Comodo Free Firewall。他们还在开发商业安全产品(security product)，这些产品提供比免费产品更多的功能。他们目前最完整的安全产品(security product)是Comodo Internet Security Complete 10，除了防病毒引擎和防火墙模块(antivirus engine and firewall module)外，它还包括运行未知应用程序的安全沙箱、 (secure sandbox)Wi-Fi 数据等功能(Wi-Fi data)加密等等。我们很想知道这款产品在保护您的 Windows 设备方面有多大用处，因此我们已经对其进行了几天的测试。阅读这篇评论，看看我们发现了什么：
Comodo Internet Security Complete 擅长(Internet Security Complete good)什么？
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10是一款适合您的防病毒产品：
- 您是一位精通技术的计算机用户(computer user)，并希望有很多可用的高级设置
- 您需要一个好的防病毒引擎(antivirus engine)，可以保护您免受任何恶意软件的侵害，但需要一些手动修补才能做到最好
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10与Comodo Internet Security Pro 10
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10包括Comodo Internet Security Pro 10提供的所有功能和工具。此外，使用Comodo Internet Security Complete 10，您还可以获得 50GB 的在线存储和备份空间，以及在Comodo的Trustconnect WiFi 安全(Trustconnect WiFi Security) VPN 工具(VPN tool)上订阅 10GB 的数据流量。如果您需要这两个功能，那么购买Comodo Internet Security Complete 10是一个更好的选择。大多数用户都可以使用Comodo Internet Security Pro 10。
优点和缺点
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10有一些好处：
- 防病毒引擎(antivirus engine)做得很好，它可以中和它识别的任何恶意软件
- 防病毒引擎(antivirus engine)扫描计算机的速度也非常快
- 用户界面(user interface)提供了许多高级设置，有经验的用户会喜欢
还有几个负面因素需要提及：
- 您从Comodo获得的在线保护(online protection)很弱，即使您使用它，也很容易成为网络钓鱼网站的牺牲品
- 它的保护过程不受意外终止的保护，这意味着任何恶意软件都可以禁用您的防病毒软件
- 它显着增加了我们Windows 计算机的(Windows computer)启动时间(boot time)并降低了我们在互联网上的下载速度。(download speed)
- 某些工具和功能需要额外付费。例如，如果您想要直接的客户支持(customer support)，您必须支付单独的费用，这不小
- 初学者将很难适应用户界面(user interface)和所有可用的配置选项
判决
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10是一款混杂的安全产品。(security product)它有几个优点和许多缺点。我们赞赏防病毒引擎(antivirus engine)的有效性，并且我们喜欢您可以沙箱应用程序和可执行文件以测试它们是否值得信赖的事实。我们也很欣赏可用的大量高级设置。然而，Comodo Internet Security Complete 10并不能很好地保护您免受在线威胁，其Comodo Dragon 网络浏览器(web browser)已被Google披露为不安全，并且与(Google)安全套件(security suite ask)捆绑的一些工具要求额外付费。这防火墙模块(firewall module)的有效性是平均的，并且安全套件(security suite)的进程没有受到保护，不会被意外终止。这些都是我们建议您远离Comodo 并寻找(Comodo and look)更好的安全产品的原因。
下载安装体验(download and installation experience)
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10保护您的计算机的第一步是下载并安装它。从官网(official website)，你必须下载Comodo的安装程序，这是一个很小的可执行文件，只有 5.24 MB。当您运行ciscomplete_installer.exe文件时，Comodo的安装向导(installation wizard)会启动，您必须对安装做出一些选择。对于初学者，Comodo Internet Security Complete 10会要求您选择要以哪种语言使用安全套件(security suite)。你被问到的第二件事是你是否想"Enhance [your] web browsing experience by setting Yahoo! as [your] home page, new tab and default search engine (all supported browsers)"。您是否愿意这样做是您的选择。但是，我们不喜欢这种更改用户设置的策略。此外，雅虎！没有提供比Google 或 Bing(Google or Bing)更好的网络浏览体验。
您可以更改有关安装的一些内容：您可以选择安装目录(installation directory)，尽管我们不建议这样做。您还可以将您的DNS 提供商(DNS provider)更改为Comodo Secure DNS，您应该这样做，因为它允许Comodo在您在 Internet 上导航时更有效地保护您。然后，您还可以选择是否要启用Comodo对不受信任文件的“基于云的行为分析”("Cloud Based Behavior Analysis")，并将匿名程序使用(program usage)统计信息发送给Comodo。
安装向导(installation wizard)还允许您选择与主要防病毒产品(antivirus product)一起安装的附加组件。默认情况下，它会安装Comodo Internet Security、Comodo Dragon Web Browser、Comodo Secure Shopping和Comodo Cloud Backup。总的来说，这意味着 697 MB 的文件。如果您愿意，您还可以安装Comodo GeekBuddy，该工具可让您访问Comodo的支持技术人员。此外，如果您不想安装所有这些附加工具，请在此步骤中禁用它们。
在接下来的安装步骤(installation step)中，Comodo试图说服您将默认浏览器(default browser)更改为Comodo Dragon - 一种基于Chromium的(Chromium)Web 浏览器(web browser)（就像Google Chrome 和 Opera(Google Chrome and Opera)），由Comodo开发。我们不喜欢这样，我们建议您坚持使用现有的网络浏览器(web browser)。我们不能忘记，谷歌(Google)的工程师证明了Comodo的网络浏览器(web browser)（该公司宣传的比其他浏览器更安全）是一种不安全的网络浏览器(web browser)，会使用户处于危险之中(puts its users in danger).
完成安装自定义(installation customization)后，安装将继续。完成后，如果您希望Comodo(Comodo)向您发送新闻、优惠和折扣，您将被邀请分享您的电子邮件地址。这是可选的，因此如果您不想这样做，请单击完成(Finish)。
然后，Comodo Internet Security Complete 10立即启动其病毒定义数据库的自动更新，完成后还会扫描系统中的恶意软件。第一次更新意味着您可以再下载 339 MB 的数据。总的来说，安装加上第一次更新相当于下载了近 1GB 的数据。如果您问我们，这很多，并且按流量计费连接的用户会不高兴。
虽然Comodo Internet Security Complete 10仍在安装更新（这是一项相当缓慢的任务），但我们的计算机桌面已被多个窗口和提示“入侵”。Comodo Internet Security Complete 10加载了它的主用户界面，将病毒定义更新窗口保持在顶部，它询问我们连接到什么类型的网络。此外，它还打开了一个欢迎窗口，并在我们桌面的右上角加载了一个小工具。(right corner)这种做法具有侵略性，一些用户会感到被Comodo入侵。
最后，您还需要重新启动Windows 计算机(Windows computer)以使安全套件(security suite)正常工作。所以你在这里：你会得到一个更多的弹出窗口，因为你的桌面太干净了，用户界面(user interface)、更新窗口(update window)、扫描窗口、小工具和欢迎窗口都不够用。🙂
我们与 Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 的第一次互动有点消极。安装此套件意味着下载大量数据，Comodo 会尝试在您的计算机上安装您可能不需要的东西，并且安装完成后，它会在您的屏幕上打开太多提示和窗口。Comodo 的做法绝不是友好的。(Our first interactions with Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 are a bit negative. Installing this suite means downloading a lot of data, Comodo tries to install stuff that you may not want on your computer and, when the installation is done, it opens way too many prompts and windows on your screen. Comodo's approach is anything but friendly.)
与Windows、网络浏览器和通用Windows 平台(Windows platform)应用程序集成
关于与Windows的集成，我们首先查看的是Comodo Internet Security Complete 10是否禁用Windows 防火墙(Windows Firewall)和Windows Defender。安全套件确实禁用了Windows Defender，但没有禁用Windows 防火墙(Windows Firewall)。这不好，因为同时运行两个防火墙会导致问题和性能问题。
然后，我们检查了Comodo 防火墙(Comodo firewall)模块是否根据您在Windows中使用的(Windows)网络配置文件(network profile)调整其设置。第一次连接到网络时，Comodo Internet Security Complete 10会询问您是哪种网络：公共、工作(Public, Work )或家庭(Home)。这些选择受到Windows 7的启发。但是，Windows 10 和Windows 8.1仅使用两个网络配置文件：Private和Public。这可能会使一些用户感到困惑。
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10的一个奇怪之处在于，您只能在首次连接到该网络时设置此网络配置文件(network profile)（公共、工作(Public, Work)或家庭(Home)）一次。之后，如果要更改已知网络的保护级别(protection level)，则只能将其设置为受信任或阻止。这只会增加混乱。
从好的方面来说，Comodo Internet Security Complete 10与(Comodo Internet Security Complete 10)Windows 10中的所有网络功能很好地集成在一起。我们在创建或加入家庭组(Homegroups,)时没有问题，在共享文件、文件夹或通过本地网络流式传输媒体时也没有问题。通用 Windows 应用程序(Universal Windows apps)也运行良好，没有任何问题。
关于在线安全，Comodo Internet Security Complete 10过滤您的互联网流量(internet traffic)，并可以阻止您加载在其数据库中找到的恶意网站。此过滤引擎适用于所有 Web 浏览器，无论您喜欢使用什么。它是否有效是另一个问题，我们将在本次审查的后面部分回答。
接下来，我们使用 Windows 中的任务管理器来查看(Task Manager)Comodo Internet Security Complete 10运行其进程需要多少 RAM 。我们发现，在正常情况下，它只需要大约 33 MB 的RAM。我们还使用BootRacer来测量我们的测试计算机(test computer)在安装Comodo Internet Security Complete 10之前和之后的启动时间。不幸的是，安装Comodo后，我们的测试计算机(test computer)的启动时间平均增加了 5 秒。因此，Windows 10 的启动速度比以前慢了 22%。
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10的另一个负面影响是它不能保护其进程免于终止：我们可以轻松杀死几乎所有进程，因此恶意软件也可以这样做。我们无法结束的唯一流程是Comodo Secure Shopping，这是一项保护您的在线金融交易的功能。但是，它不能保护您免受恶意软件的侵害。
为了检查互联网或本地网络速度是否受到Comodo Internet Security Complete的影响，我们还使用Speedtest.net和LAN Speed Test进行了一些测试。本地网络中的数据传输似乎和以前一样快，但下载的互联网速度(internet speed)下降了大约 27%，尽管上传速度似乎没有受到影响。一些安全产品会降低您互联网连接的(internet connection)下载速度(download speed)，Comodo就是其中之一。
我们还注意到，如果您卸载Comodo Internet Security Complete 10，您必须小心，因为它不会首先删除它安装的所有内容。您与主要安全套件(security suite)一起安装的所有附加功能，包括Comodo Dragon网络浏览器(web browser)，仍然安装在您的计算机上。您必须手动删除它们才能摆脱计算机上的所有Comodo 软件(Comodo software)。同样(Again)，许多用户不会欣赏这一点。
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 在与 Windows 10 集成方面存在一些问题。网络功能运行良好，但安全套件不会禁用 Windows 防火墙。尽管 Comodo 防火墙模块似乎可以检测您是否使用专用网络，但它也会询问您的网络配置文件并让您选择它是家庭网络、公共网络还是工作网络。这种方法很奇怪而且很复杂。Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 需要很少的 RAM 来保持其服务正常运行，但会增加启动时间，减慢您的下载速度，并且其进程很容易被恶意软件杀死，使您完全不受保护。(Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 has some issues regarding integration with Windows 10. The networking features work well, but the security suite does not disable the Windows Firewall. Although the Comodo firewall module seems to detect whether you use a private network, it also asks about your network profile and lets you select whether it is a home, public or a work network. This approach is strange and convoluted. Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 needs little RAM to keep its services up but increases the boot time, it slows down your downloads, and its processes can be easily killed by malware, leaving you completely unprotected.)

Security for everyone - Reviewing Comodo Internet Security Complete 10
Comodo is a US-based company that has built іtself a quite a popular brand, mainly based on their frеe security products like Comodo Free Internet Security or the Comodo Free Firewall. They are also developing commercial security products which offer more features than their free products. Their most complete security product at the moment is Comodo Internet Security Complete 10, and besides the antivirus engine and firewall module, it also includes features like a secure sandbox in which to run unknown applications, Wi-Fi data encryption and more. We were curious to see how useful this product is in securing your Windows devices, so we have tested it for a few days. Read this review to see what we have found:
What is Comodo Internet Security Complete good at?
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 is an antivirus product that is good for you if:
- You are a tech-savvy computer user and want to have a lot of advanced settings available
- You want a good antivirus engine that can protect you against any malware, but which needs some manual tinkering to do its best job
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 vs. Comodo Internet Security Pro 10
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 includes all the features and tools offered by Comodo Internet Security Pro 10. Additionally, with Comodo Internet Security Complete 10, you also get 50GB of online storage and backup space and a subscription of 10GB of data traffic on Comodo's Trustconnect WiFi Security VPN tool. If you need these two features, then buying Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 is a better deal. Most users will be fine with Comodo Internet Security Pro 10.
Pros and cons
There are some good things about Comodo Internet Security Complete 10:
- The antivirus engine does a good job, and it can neutralize any malware it identifies
- The antivirus engine is also pretty fast for scanning your computer
- The user interface offers a lot of advanced settings, which experienced users will like
There are also several negatives to mention:
- The online protection you get from Comodo is weak and, even if you use it, you can fall prey to phishing websites rather easily
- Its protection processes are not protected from unwanted termination, which means that any malware can disable your antivirus
- It significantly increased the boot time of our Windows computer and decreased our download speed, on the internet
- Some tools and features cost extra money. For example, if you want direct customer support, you have to pay a separate fee, which is not small
- Beginners will have a hard time adjusting to the user interface and all the configuration options that are available
Verdict
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 is a security product that is a very mixed bag. It has a few strong points and many weaknesses. We appreciated the effectiveness of the antivirus engine, and we like the fact that you can sandbox apps and executable files to test whether they are trustworthy or not. We also appreciate the wealth of advanced settings that are available. However, Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 does not protect you well against online threats, its Comodo Dragon web browser has been revealed by Google as being insecure, and some of the tools that are bundled with the security suite ask for additional money. The firewall module is average in its effectiveness, and the security suite's processes are not protected from unwanted termination. These are all reasons why we recommend that you stay away from Comodo and look for better security products.
The download and installation experience
The first step in having your computer protected by Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 is to download and install it. From the official website, you have to download Comodo's installer, which is an executable file with a small size, of only 5.24 MB. When you run the ciscomplete_installer.exe file, Comodo's installation wizard is launched, and you have to make a few choices regarding the installation. For starters, Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 asks you to choose in which language you want to use the security suite. The second thing you are asked is whether you want to "Enhance [your] web browsing experience by setting Yahoo! as [your] home page, new tab and default search engine (all supported browsers)". It is your choice whether you want to do that or not. However, we do not like this kind of tactic for changing the user's settings. Also, Yahoo! does not offer a better web browsing experience than Google or Bing do.
You get to change a few things about the installation: you can choose the installation directory, although we do not recommend that. You can also change your DNS provider to Comodo Secure DNS, which you should because it allows Comodo to protect you more efficiently when you navigate on the internet. Then, you can also choose whether you want to enable Comodo's "Cloud Based Behavior Analysis" of untrusted files and send anonymous program usage statistics to Comodo.
The installation wizard also lets you select which additional components are installed alongside the main antivirus product. By default, it installs Comodo Internet Security, Comodo Dragon Web Browser, Comodo Secure Shopping and Comodo Cloud Backup. In total, this means 697 MB of files. If you want, you can also install Comodo GeekBuddy, a tool that gives you access to Comodo's support technicians. Also, if you prefer not to install all these additional tools, disable them during this step.
During the next installation step, Comodo tries to convince you to change your default browser to Comodo Dragon - a web browser based on Chromium (just like Google Chrome and Opera) that is developed by Comodo. We do not like this, and our recommendation is for you to stick with your existing web browser. We cannot forget that Google's engineers proved that Comodo's web browser, advertised by the company to be more secure than others, is an unsafe web browser that puts its users in danger.
Once you are done with the installation customization, the installation proceeds. When done, you are invited to share your e-mail address, if you want Comodo to send you news, offers, and discounts. This is optional, so if you do not want to do it, click Finish.
Then, Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 immediately starts an automatic update of its virus definitions databases and, when done, also scans the system for malware. This first update means that you get to download another 339 MB of data. In total, the installation plus the first update equals almost 1GB of data downloaded. This is a lot if you ask us, and users with metered connections will not be happy.
While Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 was still installing the updates (which is a rather slow-paced task), our computer's desktop was "invaded" by several windows and prompts. Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 loaded its main user interface, kept the virus definitions updates window on the top, and it asked us what type of network we are connected to. Also, it opened a welcome window and loaded a gadget on the top right corner of our desktop. This approach is aggressive, and some users will feel invaded by Comodo.
Finally, you also need to reboot your Windows computer for the security suite to work as it should. So here you are: you get one more pop-up because your desktop was too clean and the user interface, the update window, the scan window, the gadget and the welcome window were not enough. 🙂
Our first interactions with Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 are a bit negative. Installing this suite means downloading a lot of data, Comodo tries to install stuff that you may not want on your computer and, when the installation is done, it opens way too many prompts and windows on your screen. Comodo's approach is anything but friendly.
Integration with Windows, web browsers and universal Windows platform apps
The first thing we looked at, regarding integration with Windows, was whether Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 disables Windows Firewall and Windows Defender. The security suite did disable Windows Defender, but it did not disable Windows Firewall. This is not good because having two firewalls that run at the same time can lead to issues and performance problems.
Then, we checked if the Comodo firewall module adjusts its settings according to the network profile you use in Windows. The first time you connect to a network, Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 asks you what kind of network that is: Public, Work or Home. These choices are inspired by Windows 7. However, Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 use only two network profiles: Private and Public. This may confuse some users.
One strange thing about Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 is the fact that you can only set this network profile (Public, Work or Home) once - when you first connect to that network. Afterwards, if you want to change the protection level of a known network, you can only set it as trusted or blocked. This only increases confusion.
On the bright side of things, Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 is well integrated with all the networking features in Windows 10. We had no problems in creating or joining Homegroups, and we had no issues when we shared files, folders or when we streamed media over the local network. Universal Windows apps also worked well, without any problems.
Regarding online security, Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 filters your internet traffic and can stop you from loading malicious websites that are found in its databases. This filtering engine works in all web browsers, regardless what you prefer using. Whether it is efficient or not, is another question, which we will answer later in this review.
Next, we used the Task Manager from Windows, to see how much RAM Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 needs to run its processes. We found that, in normal conditions, it needs only about 33 MB of RAM. We also used BootRacer to measure the boot times of our test computer before and after we installed Comodo Internet Security Complete 10. Unfortunately, after installing Comodo, our test computer's boot times increased by an average of 5 seconds. As a result, Windows 10 started 22 percent slower than before.
Another negative thing about Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 is that it does not protect its processes from termination: we could easily kill almost all of them, so malware will be able to do the same. The only process that we could not end was Comodo Secure Shopping, a feature that protects your online financial transactions. However, it does not protect you against malware.
To check whether the internet or local network speeds are affected by Comodo Internet Security Complete, we also ran a few tests with Speedtest.net and with LAN Speed Test. The data transfers within the local network appeared to be just as fast as before, but the internet speed has decreased by roughly 27 percent for the download, although the upload speed did not seem to be affected. Some security products lower the download speed of your internet connection, and Comodo is one of them.
We also noticed that, if you uninstall Comodo Internet Security Complete 10, you have to be careful because it does not remove everything it installed in the first place. All the additional features that you installed alongside the main security suite, including the Comodo Dragon web browser, remain installed on your computer. You have to remove them manually to get rid of all Comodo software on your computer. Again, many users will not appreciate this.
Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 has some issues regarding integration with Windows 10. The networking features work well, but the security suite does not disable the Windows Firewall. Although the Comodo firewall module seems to detect whether you use a private network, it also asks about your network profile and lets you select whether it is a home, public or a work network. This approach is strange and convoluted. Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 needs little RAM to keep its services up but increases the boot time, it slows down your downloads, and its processes can be easily killed by malware, leaving you completely unprotected.
On the next page of this review, you can see how easy Comodo Internet Security Complete 10 is to use and how effective is at protecting your computer from network attacks and malware. You can also see what additional features are included in this security suite, and check our recommendations for what settings you should adjust.
