yes latest. I also downloaded Trojan Simulator and the files were automatically quarantined, so it seems like antivirus is working. I just don't know how properly it is working...

Do you have "Automatically quarantine threats found during scanning"?
If so uncheck it and try eicar test file again.

unchecked, but nothing has changed. I'm not actually really worried about this test, maybe there are some other tests or whatever, so that i know that antivirus actually protects me? Grin

There was a bug a cuple weeks ago that made eicar not be detected, it made half the database missing.

Goto: C:\Program Files\COMODO\COMODO Internet Security\scanners and check the size of Bases.cav

Please post the size.

Thx

And I guess this brings up a worrying point...

Why isn't CIS itself checking to make such the database is not corrupt?  Roll Eyes

It wont hurt CIS to do a Checksum of the DB againt the DB on the servers.

When i reinstalled comodo it started updating antivirus database, then asked to restart computer, and after restart I noticed that database wasn't updated, so I updated it again (kinda long), after that everything was ok.
