I’m a Nedry person who has passion in anti malware products testing. I’m always a comodo firewall fan and i had very bad experience with comodo av so i always choose comodo firewall with maximum defense+ settings for leak protection. Recently i installed CIS 4.1 its interface and low performance impact on resources are awesome. And this time i thought to install antivirus because of improved core detection in comodo av and sandbox feature in firewall. Firstly, i like to watch movies but most movies links directs toward mega video only but it has a problem it will stop playing after 72 minutes, only premium subscribers do get the benefit so i found to over ride that limit and got one open source software/addon forfirefox that is “cacaoweb” it will bypass the megavideo limit. (my initial combination is avast+comodo) avast didn’t detect that addon or file as malicious but comodo firewall did and gave its malware sign so i upload that file to virus total shockingly only 6 av scanners reported cacaoweb as malicious.
So i got curious to test that file and some other malicious files so avast failed to detect all and i installed panda cloud although it identified few but not all and its same with Microsoft security essentials. Furthermore, i installed pcflank leaktest suite both panda and security essentials detected it as a virus however, avast failed to detect it.
Finally, Comodo av is much more improved compared to its previous versions good work comodo and i may wish all the best for your future endeavors.
Well, I’ve found some suspicious file almost a week ago, tested it with virustotal (4 found it malicious), then I’ve submitted this file to the Comodo, today I’ve retested it with virustotal, now 6 antiviruses detect it, but CIS still doesn’t :-TD. I’m sure this file is malware, becouse it is distributed via obviously physhing site.
I wonder, how long it will take to add troian’s signature to the bases?
just a fiy for you all, comodo is receiving hundreds of thousands if not millions of files per day that are unknown. They are working as fast as possible to identify all of them. But I can tell you they are working at getting the systems to work faster and faster to get more files analyzed per day. We should see a marked improvement in response time soon.
I think the only thing that we will see is comodo trying to create an infrastructure that cannot support. but we will see. I wish the best luck to the developers.
