Comodo Antivirus Advanced 2012

Most Antivirus software battles threats they know, not new ones they've never encountered. This strategy leaves open a window of vulnerability from unknown threats that can last for hours or even days. Comodo Antivirus Advanced 2012 has a better approach. It’s based on the concept of prevention, not detection. Our Antivirus Advanced 2012 software features groundbreaking Defense+ technology that efficiently closes this window by treating unknown files seeking access to your PC’s critical resources as potentially harmful. Defense+ automatically isolates such files so they can't harm you or your PC.

And that's not all. Comodo Antivirus Advanced 2012 also comes with one of the best user support packages available today. It’s a 24/7/365 service. Our highly trained PC experts can access and fix your PC remotely, ensuring that your security is optimized and your PC is running smoothly. Just click the Live Support button in the Antivirus Advanced 2012 interface and a chat window will appear.

Why do I need Antivirus software installed on my PC?

Viruses can be absolutely devastating to your PC's health. They can slow your computer to a halt, delete important files and applications and even make your computer unusable.

How can you offer an expert support service for so much less than competitors?

The truth is, Comodo security software keeps a PC so secure that you'll find yourself needing live support much less than if using another security suite. We pass those savings right back to you!

Do you offer any upgrades?

Yes. Comodo Internet Security (including Antivirus) is available in Pro and Complete versions featuring 24/7 Tier 2 Live Support, TrustConnect™ and the Comodo Virus-Free Guarantee.

Will programs run OK in the Sandbox?

Yes. Applications in the Sandbox are run under a carefully selected set of privileges and will write to a virtual file system and registry instead of the real system. This means suspicious (but harmless) applications have the freedom to operate as usual while malicious programs are prevented from accessing or infecting your computer. This provides the smoothest and most secure user experience possible.

Do programs stay in the Sandbox forever?

No – the Sandbox is the first part of a trust decision engine. After an unknown application has been placed in the Sandbox, Internet Security will also automatically queue it for submission to Comodo labs where it will be analyzed by our technicians. If it is found to be harmless then it will be added to the global safe White list that will be downloaded by all Internet Security users in the next round of updates. Once it is added to the safe White list, the application will no longer be run in the Sandbox by Internet Security. If it is found to be malicious then it will be added to Comodo's Black list of malware signatures and will be deleted after the next round of updates.
