On Saturday I reviewed Comodo’s new Internet Security suite (version 3.8). The review went a bit long, but lets face it, CIS 3.8 is a huge suite (and that’s a good thing). The Comodo team made numerous enhancements to version 3.5 and released 3.8 on Feb 12th.
So, if you’re looking for an all-in-one security suite (for free!) then give Comodo a shot, because no other free security suite compares to the power, quality and support of Comodo Internet Security!
