Comodo Internet Security vs Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business

Comodo Internet Security is a Windows security suite that combines antivirus protection, a packet-filtering firewall, host intrusion prevention, and automatic isolation for unknown files. Its Auto Sandbox runs unfamiliar files in a separate environment. The firewall can block unauthorized inbound and outbound connections, manage which programs can access the internet, and hide computer ports. Secure Shopping isolates browser sessions and includes keylogger prevention, screen-capture blocking, and SSL certificate inspection; it can also run applications such as email clients, password managers, spreadsheets, and VPN clients in that environment. The product describes cloud antivirus scanning, behavior analysis, and whitelisting, alongside malicious-website filtering with custom block lists. Comodo lists a free plan and paid plans from $29.99/yr. Its guide lists Windows 10, 8, and 7, and says versions 12.0.0.6882 and later do not support Windows XP or Vista. Support resources include Comodo Support, an online help guide, and a user forum.
