I’m not sure if this will be implemented like this, this would put a HUGE load on the DACS infrastructure and will increase you scan time immensely because it would need to upload way to much files for the systems to handle. They have to come up with some sort of smart coding that only verifies stuff in suspicious places like hitman pro does.

What I’d also like and would possibly be more interesting is the ability to select files and offer to scan them by DACS manually.

yea thats what i kind of figured. i wasnt sure how they were going to implement DACS. It would probably be best if they did it like u said and add it to custom scan so we can scan what we want with DACS.

maybe one of the devs will tell us how they are going to implement DACS

why not translate killswitch into simplified Chinese ? cce has a Chinese gui now

[gvvsss]

Please correct me I am posting in the wrong thread.

Does Comodo have any improving/self-learning from DACS results?

What I mean is, if a file is found infected in DACS results and not by Comodo AV scanner,

does CCE take any special care of that file and send it to Comodo Labs for Immediate verification?
(I know they would have already scanned it by CAMAS and therefore the sample is with Comodo Labs, still, that puts the file in queue with many other non malicious files and thus takes long to reach the testers).

But we have either a clear case or atleast a greater chance of the sample being a malware, therefore if it is given a high priority, it would improve CAV detection a lot.

I would like to translate the CCE to Hungarian!! ;D
I need the English templates…

Sorry to do another bad report.

1. Time of scanning is unbelievable long.
2. The CPU consuming is very very high, almost rendering the computer.
3. The avast sandbox detection was reported as false positive A LOT OF times. And the team did nothing with it. I have three partitions and then three “hidden folders” of avast sandbox.

i remember comodo saying that they do nothing with the results from the other vendors meaning that they dont analyze or touch the samples. DACS is like p2p it just stays in the community.

@Melih post:14

A user using CIS will find an unknown file…
CIS passes it to DACS component…
DACS then sends it out to all other DACS contributors…
DACS contributors scan and send the result back to the user…

A DACS contributor has a software that he/she uses to work along with their AV product.

Why is this innovation?
its NOT a cloud based system per se… its a p2p kind of system…
If you were to run a server based system, then you would require AV companies approval. But in a p2p environment, a user scanning a file then informing the community does not require the approval of the AV company. There is nothing stopping a user from saying: hey this file is not good.

[wasgij6]

my question is how they are going to handle FPs from other vendors

melih stated this is his post about DACS

@Melih post:15

DACS will be enabled for Real time scanning.

FPs: we have a new patent on an interesting idea that we have implemented. We hope this will reduce FPs drastically.

But afterall, with CIS the FPs will only happen with “unknown” files…if a file is legit/whitelisted there will be no FP on it.

and im just wondering if this is already implemented or if there still working on it

I like that now it fixes problems in the registry. One has been missed though.

Hello Everyone,

We are very excited to announce that Comodo Cleaning Essentials is ready for private beta testing.

What is Comodo Cleaning Essentials?

Simple. CCE is a set of tools we created for cleaning the infected computers. The main application, CCE, is a powerful virus, spyware, rookit scanner and cleaner. It has many advanced scanning and cleaning techniques that are not present in CIS yet. And then we have a powerful tool called Killswitch, which is purely for experts to diagnose EVERYTHING in a computer. Give it a try!

CCE features:

• Portable: No installation is necessary!
• DACS, Distributed and Collaborative Scanning, http://www.melih.com/2010/12/23/anti-virus-companies-are-protecting-criminals-not-anymore-thanks-to-dacs/
• Rootkit and hidden file/key scanner
• Aggressive file removing capabilities
• KillSwitch, advanced system activity monitoring tool

Whats new in CCE 1.5.181743.64?
NEW: CCE can now fix critical system settings (disabled task manager, ms config, run, regedit, etc).
NEW: New languages supported: Russian and Ukrainian
IMPROVED: More powerful MBR scanner
IMPROVED: Save CCE options in config.ini instead of registry
FIXED: Hidden files scanner does not work for some NTFS partitions
FIXED: KillSwitch crashes when opening properties of certain process
FIXED: KillSwitch does not show BHO correctly in some cases
FIXED: “Handle properties” can not be closed under certain circumstance in KillSwitch

[b]This is a private BETA and must not be used for any other purpose than testing. It can contain serious bugs and must be used only by community members.

DO NOT distribute it outside this forum as it is not intended for end-users even for testing purposes.[/b]

superantispyware does this just not automatically and i think hitman pro fixes internet problems

Hi guys!

Why different some test results from KillSwitch 1.4(CCE 1.4.177889.49 RC1) and KillSwitch 1.5(CCE 1.5.181743.64 RC2) ?

What I do:

run KillSwitch 1.4 → View → Show only the unsafe images in memory.

After that, on the same computer, run KillSwitch 1.5 → View → Show only the unsafe images in memory… and the results are different(lot of unknown files)!

also did a few times on two computers - Windows 7 Ultimate(x86, SP1) and Windows XP Professional(x86, SP3), - same situation.

What is this bug KillSwitch 1.5?

i see…i wonder if they do it as thoroughly as CCE? worth testing…

This is a very important feature for any cleaning product imo.
Doesn’t symantec or others do that for cleaning?

Melih, I thought you like Symantec? ;D >:-D

[lodore]

I would like to see an extra tab in killswitch which shows all the programs which shows all the autostart with windows and an option to hide all the safe ones just like the process tab.
would it also be possible in the services tab to hide all the safe services?

I think I'm going to intentionally cripple the living hell out of windows 7 on another computer later, if it fails to fix it I'll report back >:-D

“They are violating the license, so I can make requests. But any further legal action is pointless for such an insignificant product which will probably die anyway because of the questionable status of DACS.”
