Comodo Cloud Antivirus

Everyone agrees that surfing the web without an antivirus program working on your computer is one of the worst things you can do. There are numerous solutions out there and there is absolutely no reason you shouldn't get one. An excellent choice is Comodo Cloud Antivirus. It uses virus monitoring, auto-sandbox and behavior analysis technologies to protect your system against the latest threats, before they get the change of doing any harm.

The software is free and it is compatible with all modern Windows versions. Downloading the setup file and installing its components doesn't take more than a minute, even with slower hardware. There is no need to meet any special requirements, but you should make sure you don't have other antivirus programs running on your computer.

Comodo Cloud Antivirus protects your system while working quietly in the background, so there is not much you have to do, besides running the program. However, you can still perform various operations from a compact user interface, which can be brought up on the screen through a system tray icon.

Although the software protects your system in real time, you can still perform virus scans manually. It can be set to perform full or quick scans and you can also opt for custom scans, if you wish to look for infections in specific locations, without scanning everything else.

Besides its real time protection and virus scanning capabilities, Comodo Cloud Antivirus provides you with other useful features as well. One of its main advantages is the sandbox function. This will launch an application of your choice and keep it isolated from everything else. As a result, no threats will be able to reach your system through that application. Web browsers are good examples, since they are one of the usual gateways for viruses and malware.

The sandbox feature is also a good solution if you need to perform operations with sensitive information, like online bank transactions. What's more, Comodo Cloud Antivirus can automatically sandbox applications if they behave suspiciously.

The program's on-screen widget is also worth mentioning. It keeps important options, like scanning or running something in sandbox mode, on your screen at all times, on a compact panel. It also displays the number of detected threats and sandboxed applications, so you will always know what is going on in your system.

If you are looking for a powerful and reliable antivirus solution, then Comodo Cloud Antivirus is definitely worth looking at.
