Asus' SonicFocus.exe being detected as a Trojan

Comodo Internet Security - CIS AV False Positive/Negative Detection Reporting
#1

Asus’ SonicFocus.exe in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\Sonic Focus is being detected as the following virus.

TrojWare.Win32.Agent.ASSP@311088972

What’s happening? Isn’t this is a normal program bundled with ASUS or has the file itself been infected and replaced?

That seems like to be a False Positive (=FP).

Disable Comodo Antivirus, then restore the file from quarantine, once you located it upload it to virustotal https://www.virustotal.com/ and post the link of the file scan here.

Hi DefinitelySky,

Please submit the file as false-positive at Comodo Antivirus Database | Submit Files for Malware Analysis .

Thanks and regards,

Usually only one way is enough. With the VT link you have given, Comodo can easily locate the file in their database in order to apply a fix. So only one way is ok. Thank you.

This is to inform you that false-positive has been fixed.
You can update to AV database Version <17475> of Comodo Internet Security
