Skip both and go with MSE.

But here are some comparisons...

does it use less system resources than avast and comodo? This is very important for my old computer.

Check this out. MSE is light on resources (as is Avira), but most folks here like MSE.

Best Free Antivirus Software

Guess I'll choose MSE.

One question: Do you turn off Windows Defender or do u leave it on. I never use Windows Defender.

I am not really in a position to pass comment on Comodo AV as i have never used it, but here is a pic of Avast use of resources

MSE will disable defender when you install

If you're looking a light weight AV that uses less RAM and CPU, go for Avast. It uses less than 8-10 MB RAM and very less CPU usage.

Your system specs say that you have 8gb of memory ... why would you be concerned with how much recourses the AV uses ????

I posted a similar thing in another thread. It always amazes me that people are concerned about this. If it takes a few MB of RAM for my AV to do it's job then it's welcome to it.

Ive always used Avast! on my old AMD Sempron 2800+ (2Ghz single core) with 2GB DDR ram and have never had a problem with system lag and have never had any infections. i personally love the various system "shields" that scan all information while being processed

I'm concerned for my old computer Which has 1.5 GB of ram i think and Celeron D processor

Ah, so this is not for the computer you have system specs for. Like I said, Avast and MSE both have low resource use. Flip a coin, you can't go wrong.

I just need to know which uses less system resources? I have been a long time user of Avast! home antivirus. Also I might use it on my current computer too (the one with the specs listed below)

Use Avast.

Hi Imeem IMHO Comodo Firewall 5.0.16 (free) & Avast AV 5.0.6 (free) compliment each other perfectly with very little background usage. They work hand in hand very effectively.

yes, you are correct, Comodo´s firewall works well toghether with Avast.

but, i believe you might have misunderstood the question:
"Which antivirus is more effective? Avast! antivirus home or Comodo antivirus?"

the question was which ANTIVIRUS...

I used comodo firewall in the pass and it worked very well. In fact too well, it interrupts my gaming and other stuff.
