It is completely free forever. You are given the choice to load both or just the firewall. Bryan personally uses Avira AntiVirus  with the Comodo Firewall and so far they have combined together well. They have a support forum on their sites, that can answer most of your questions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Please remember if your e-mail address is changed for any reason at all, unless you tell me your new address then you will not receive these weekly updates!
