Memory Usage:

Memory Usage tends to fluctuate between 5 to 35 MB while running idle, 35 MB and up while doing background tasks and scanning for viruses.  The memory usage has improved drastically compared to previous versions of the suite.  Comodo Internet Security is not a resource hog, and will not slow down your system.  Comodo Internet Security consists of two running processes (cfp.exe and cmdagent.exe)

Updating:

Comodo Internet Security is designed to automatically check for updates several times a day.  Updates can either be downloaded to your system manually or automatically from Comodo’s update servers.

Best for:

Both Business and Home Users

As new versions are released, extra features and interface changes might be added.

IMPORTANT: Be very careful when installing the Comodo Secure DNS service, it can turn your networked devices to the point of being inoperable.  For first time users, or for people who want to avoid troubleshooting, I recommend not using this feature.  This is especially common when using a networked printer.  You can Opt-In or Opt-Out of Secure DNS service when installing Comodo Internet Security Premium.
