I have been watching the tests over COMODO 5.8 and I must say the antivirus had turned out to be horrrible I mean if COMODO’s antivirus can’t detect zero days why is there antivirus in the first place???
You don’t understand.
Defense+ and sandbox is the first line of defense.
AV is just an addon.
When valkyrie will be integrated with cloud then I guess detection will improve much more.
I prepared a test for my blog with 21.000 malware samples from the last 7 days. I evaluated Comodo’s detection vs Avira’s. Results are interesting. Stay tuned!
I tested 5.8 with 30 malwares which are 0 day from malware domain sites and CIS detection were as follows
21 were detected as soon as they were downloaded
06 were detected as soon as they were executed
03 when executed were sandboxed
which makes CIS almost 100 percent except for the 03 files that ran in sandbox
The results can differ from person to person but hey which normal user goes to malware domain sites and downloads and runs viruses
so Trust yourself and your security software
Always Remember CIS is the best in Prevention anyways whats the use of getting infected then detected by the antivirus
Thanks
Yes you are right there are a few malware which can bypass defence+ and sandbox easily without alerts and are only detected by antivirus if it contains the signature
I don’t understand: the poll says “Who thinks COMODO antivirus is bad and should be as good as in 5.5?”
Am I right that “in 5.5” is av-component in CIS 5.5]?
Then what is meant by COMODO antivirus? Av-component of new CIS 5.8?
ahmed, i remember that you always complain for the AV. This is only 1 test only on 26 samples! And they are 0 day samples. AV of any vendor is very unreliable and that’s why comodo has Defense + and auto-sandbox.
my tests usually use malware that has 15 or less detections on VT, so they are much harder on the av them most, this is how I test the zero day protection of the product.
