I've been using Comodo Internet Security 8 Beta and it has been working fairly well for me in Windows 10 TP, I did notice that the "Fully Virtualized" sandbox wasn't working 100% correctly, sometimes things simply wouldn't launch in it. Worth bearing in mind is that it doesn't officially support Windows 10 yet.

One issue I did notice was when updating to build 9860 of Windows 10 TP, the firewall of CIS got trashed so I had to reinstall.

So generally it works fine, however it may have issues with Fully Virtualized sandboxing, although that could just be my system, don't know, either way I don't really use it, prefer HIPS.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, some antiviruses will cause problems because they are not currently build specially for Windows 10.

Installing Avast in compatibility mode does not work either.

If they do not make it compatible within a week, I'm changing AV on all my systems.

Why don't you use Windows Defender ?

I don't feel it's enough, if ever comes close to performance of commercial AVs I wil. But for something that even MS declares as not enough, no thank you. I do get into risky situations on internet and with other people's software media and every bit helps. I also keep McShield for USB born diseases, Mbam and few other to check during and after every risky action.

I guess if you get into risky stuff then Defender might not be enough.
I've been using it since I got Win 8, about a year now. I also use MBAM, SAS, WOT and WinPatrol. Might be overkill but have not had any problems so far.

Yeah, better safe (relatively) than sorry definitively.

I'm glad ESET works with 10.

I'm not going to install any security software until Windows 10 is available for sale. Meanwhile I will live with what is available on 10.

But after that......
