Comodo receives much more recognition for their firewall software than they do for anything else they develop, but that hasn't stopped them from venturing outside their comfort zone.
In October 2009, they released Comodo Internet Security -- which bundled their popular firewall app with free antivirus defense. It was a good freshman effort, though their AV engine (developed in-house) wasn't quite mature enough to go toe-to-toe with other those from other antivirus providers.
Work has begun on version 4, however, and so far the beta version looks like it will be a substantial improvement. One feature I'm particularly interested in is sandboxing.
Comodo is not alone in introducing this feature -- Avast recently bundled something similar in certain versions of their latest release. It's only enabled in Avast's paid versions though, so Comodo could well be the only security suite or AV in which you'll find totally free, full-featured sandboxing!
