I believe I found a bug in COMODO Internet Security Premium (v5.10.228257.2253). I made a video showing how COMODO fails to remove a malware sample. I figured a video would be the easiest way to show you guys. It is able to remove the malware with the on-access scanner, but the on-demand scanner will fail to remove the sample.
In the Video I used VirtualBox which I know you guys don’t like, so I tried VMware Player with a freshly installed copy of Windows 7 Professional 32-bit and COMODO. The results were the same.
Did I do something wrong or is this in fact a bug? Regardless, I thought I would just mention it to you guys.
