I am running it on moderate and in last few versions it got tweaked to be unobtrusive enough at this level. @Chocobito

Because that I prefer a pure Firewall and a good Antimalware, nothing like HIPS.

They are good to see approximate picture but no test can reliably emulate Internet with all its threats. Still Comodo does good on those which can't be negative. :) @Jonny
