A better CAV will make a good approach, don't you think?
No, one lab is not as good as being able to compare the results of several. The detection rate is
much higher and the ability to diagnose a false positive is much improved if you use several different labs.
Maybe Comodo could do something like run the file past Comodo, Avira, Kaspersky, Avast, Microsoft, ... (or any combination). Maybe 5 or so AV's. Also, pass on any suspicious files to these companies for analysis. In this way the users of Defense+ get the ability to better investigate a file while doing less work and the AV companies will have improved detection rates. Essentially the Comodo community becomes a honeypot for the AV's and everyone benefits.
By the way, I'm envisioning this as another tab in Defense+ that gives the results of this analysis. Maybe something like the way Hitman Pro works.
Do you think that giving the user this type of information would make it much more likely for them to distinguish between the good files and bad files when making a decision? I think this would go a long way.
Tell me if you don't think it's possible or there's a flaw in my logic.
