Hi Guys. I have picked up from the forums that technology called "DACS" is to be introduced to increase Cavs detection rate.Firstly i wonder what Dacs stands for, does anyone have a clue?. This appears to be a closely guarded secret at the moment and as far as i can tell the Mods have an idea what it might be that is going to "Guarantee the  best detection in the world" as one of the mods stated.

That is a bold statement perhaps indicating that behind closed doors testing has already taken place to compare Cavs/Dacs with other Avs out there. Its seems to me, that would be the only way to  make statements like that and be confident that Cavs would return consistently better detection rates than say Gdata which consistently returns around the  99.8% mark and along with Avira seem to be the highest in terms of pure detection.

If we state that no Av can achieve 100% and perhaps never will ( will/can Dacs achieve the improbable methinks  Grin), then Cavs would  have to match Gdata ect and increase detection further by  .2% to achieve the ultimate.Lots of tests have been done by Mrg and similar where Cavs has achieved perfectly respectable rates in my opinion which seem to vary according to how many samples are used and who conducts the tests under which conditions.

Generally i see between 98.5% and 99.6% the best i have seen, and those figures are better than some big names out there.However it seems to me that until such time as Cavs is tested by Av- Comparitives then a lot of potential users will not take Comodo seriously, and shy away.

This is where i am prepared as a long time user of the whole suite to be astonished by the   the results of testing Dacs and those results to be shoved down certain throats!.I look forward to that!.

Finally i do not think that Melih or the Mods would make statements about providing the best detection rates out there without being 100% sure as to the effectiveness of the "secret weapon" that is about to be unleashed, without being prepared for ridicule from certain quarters, which would ineviteably be the case if Dacs does not deliver after all . All the aformentioned gives me confidence that good things are just around the corner.

I guess you have been reading the posts of some of Wilders best known trolls.

 Thumb Up[at]James France. Actually you are right. One of the statements i read  was from Wilders but i would hardly describe him as a  troll, as it was from Dragons Forever, a Comodo Forum member and Mod!.

what Dacs stands for, does anyone have a clue?.

The Definition of the Abbreviation is Currently a Secret.

And the technology Details Are Clandestine Still.

The only people who know the details are those with the Ultra-supra-mega-top-secret security clearance.

For now, we have to wait in anticipation until the info is de-classified.

Whoop

Yes...Lord DACS is going to help us all! Thank Lord DACS!!!

Lord DACS is coming Smiley

Due to legal work (patent and other), we can't reveal how it works to public. But our moderators have been informed about what this capability is. I think they like it Wink

We will inform public as soon as we are able to. Until then we have to keep it under wraps.

thanks

From what I heard His Lordship seems to be a bit of a flamboyant character; likes to stir up things....

cis just keeps getting better and better. new detection module and redesigned threatcast and i read somewhere that we will be able to change the summary page to show what we want. cant wait to see all this implimented. the last thing i would love to see is this:

I suggested to the dev's to change the color with the state of system. So:

green = all ok

Blue = game mode on

Yellow problem = something turned off

red = major problem, virus found, etc.
and

http://forums.comodo.com/wishlist-cis/left-over-process-change-needed-w-poll-t62028.0.html

then comodo will be perfect. very exciting to see the future of comodo.

keep up the great work Melih and comodo team

They will have to get used to him. He will be misunderstood in the beginning I'm afraid.
