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 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.
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.
