On Windows 7 CCS forces to elevate to “Run as Administrator” it seems to scan for malware on all processes regardless of why started them but;
Privacy Issues
Registry Errors
Junk files
These Scan in some user context like HKCU and %UserProfile% this will cause Privacy Issues and Junk for the Administrator but not for the current user…
Shouldn’t that part scan in the “Current” user instead of the elevated user, elevation should only be used to access “elevated” parts of the OS right?
I let it scan and it found 100 suspicious. I didn’t check them all but it looks like they are all related to the ATI Catalyst Control Center (for ATI based graphics adapters). Submitting one hundred files is a lot of work. Is there another way of notifying Comodo about this?
If run Comodo Cloud Scanner without administrator rights, will find privacy issues and junk files for current user. If run with administrator rights will find all privacy issues, junk files and registry errors common for all users.
Well CCS Forces a UAC prompt on Win7 so “normal user expectation” here will be “oh i have to click Yes or enter my password to continue”…
Once it’s elevated it could scan all user profiles for example?
Should the user decide not no elevate is there any chance of loss of detection features because it’s not run elevated?
It cannot be scanned all user profiles because only private and junk data for current user must be shown.
If not run with elevated rights there is lost detection for locations which are available only by administrator accounts and create privacy or junk data common for all users.
Hopefully the connection with the servers will be better as well.
I’m not sure that this is the problem, but half the time I run a scan with CCS it doesn’t find any unknown files, but the next day it will. (By the way these are all related to the ATI file MOM.exe) Hint Hint
;D
