i just reinstalled my whole windows because comodo IS started to delete random system files. after the new fresh install, i didnt notice that it started to update automatically and then launched the auto scan… when i got to it, it said it found 547 threats and some “clean / ignore” window was already opened… and it was only at 84%! i think it wont even boot up now because it didnt even find control panel before i unplugged the sht… (xp sp2 original install from scratch).
i got another system that failed because of the CIS removals, but havent reinstalled that yet…
??? ??? ???
We need more details on the reported issue in order to reach a conclusion on the problem and find the proper solution. Can you please submit some of the files and/or the scanning log at Comodo Antivirus Database | Submit Files for Malware Analysis ? What’s the detection name? Are your installation media and newly installed programs from a trusted source and clean? Can you please scan these as well to verify if they’re state is ok?
CIS does not do a great job with patching viruses to say it diplomatically. You could be infected with one of them. Please try booting from and scanning with rescue discs from Dr. Web or Kaspersky and see if they can fix this or not.
somebody please change the subject to better suite the topic…
I do not think it is a false positives issue, it is rather a patching virus issue as mentioned by EricJH like ramnit or virut or something else…
I also feel (it has happened to me many times) that before installing CIS, the system has the virus running in memory and it happens that even CIS can not do much with it (as already mentioned, it is not quite good at cleaning, it would simply delete) the infected files, it would have deleted the files, just my thought.
i already said that its installed from original sp2 disk. someone asked for a log and i asked where the log is…
the sys booted up but crashes randomly, so im not sure i can export anything…
and the “clean/ignore” windows still pop up…
download these two, burn each to a different cd, then boot from them. To do that put the disk in the cd try, restart windows, go into bios and change the boot order so the first one is CD.
looks like kaspersky found 599 of them and dr.web 4 more… have to check how drweb cleans stuff…
dr.web found somekind of trojan.packed.194 - lights.exe (packed by FLY-CODE?)… how bad is that? dunno how i even got this sht on 2pc-s basically on the same half-hour…
Reinstalling Windows even from an original CD does not necessary clean infected HDD. Did you boot up from the CD or some kind of HDD utilities CD and reformatted your harddisk before reinstalling? I’d suggest you do that.

i did format all the drives(because i also needed another partition) with ntfs quick…, but dunno…
599 of them were probably these win32.virut.av or smth… i think it disinfected them and then i re-installed it again… and then made a system restore because it didnt install 3g drivers -.-
created another user and then all worked fine… now all up and running again…
