Hi Ewen,

Believe it or not, It took me so long to look for my post message dated April 8, that is why I was not able to thank you or reply right away. I'm just knew using forums and it seems I'm lost.

Anyway, I thank you for answering my problem and I will do what you advice. Thanks again and God Bless.

Hello Comodo staff and all of you who knows a little about computer security.

I'm curious about how you find out about new malware threats. Do you add malware to a black list as you get reports from users, do you manually surf the web - looking for suspicios web sites and download "cracks" or "keygens", do you open all those spam emails we get in our mail boxes? Or do you even create your own malware - but never spread it outside your labs of course - and add it to a black list?

Perhaps your methods are secret, but again, I just wonder how it actually works.

Thanks,
LeoniAquila

We have many malware sources. So everything you said above is something we do. From getting submittals from our contributors, users, to having honeypots and crawling the web.

thanks

Hi and welcome,

BOClean is designed as a backup to antivirus and antispyware's.  It is designed to detect what these usually miss, such as Trojans.  You should have antivirus and antispyware already installed.  BOClean will be an addition to these.

Malware (short for Malicious Software) covers all the nasties mentioned by you.

[MorphOS REBOL]

MALWARE by definition is all kinds of evil miniprogs/data  trying to settle down on your HD without user's knowledge and/or permitting.
