With CIS 5 Beta, Comodo leak test (CLT) is giving strange results in some situations (even with maximum security settings). For example, see this post. I do not know the cause, and as far as I know, the developers have not provided an explanation yet. However, some people are not able to achieve a perfect score with CLT (examples here). We will have to wait for a response from the developers as to why this is happening.
Removing CLT rules that may have been creating from previously running CLT:
Defense + Security policy
[ol]- Click the “defense+” tab at the top of the CIS window
Click the “Advanced” tab on the left of the CIS window
Click on “Computer Security Policy”
Scroll down the list of files. Select any entry that has “clt.exe” in the application name and click the remove button.
click “apply”.[/ol]
Firewall Security policy
[ol]- Click the “firewall” tab at the top of the CIS window
Click the “Advanced” tab on the left of the CIS window
Click on “Network Security Policy”
Scroll down the list of files. Select any entry that has “clt.exe” in the application name and click the remove button.
click “apply”.[/ol]
My pending files
[ol]- Click the “defense+” tab at the top of the CIS window
Click the “Common Tasks” tab on the left of the CIS window
Click on “My Pending files”
Scroll down the list of files. Select any entry that has “clt.exe” in the application name and click the remove button.
click “close”.[/ol]
My own safe files list
[ol]- Click the “defense+” tab at the top of the CIS window
Click the “Common Tasks” tab on the left of the CIS window
Click on “My Own Safe files”
Scroll down the list of files. Select any entry that has “clt.exe” in the application name and click the remove button.
click “close”.[/ol]
Removing the CLT rules as described above will help ensure that your CLT results are accurate.
Next time you run Comodo leak test and an alert appears, make sure that “remember my answer” is unchecked when you answer the alert. This will prevent CIS from creating rules that will affect CLT results the next time you run it.
the version of CIS you are using (go to “more” tab and click “about”)
Your configuration setting (More > configurations)
Your CIS settings: including defense+ mode, image execution setting, firewall mode, antivirus mode, sandbox level.
Are all of your defense + monitoring options selected? (select defense+ > advanced > defense+ settings > monitoring settings tab [all of the boxes should be checked].
Are you running any other security software?
6)Run diagnostics and see if you find any problems with CIS (More tab > diagnostics). Any problems reported by diagnostics?
Firewall does not have a “secure mode”. Is your firewall set to disabled, training mode, safe mode, custom policy mode, or block all mode?.
As far as I know, the cleaning programs you have installed (Advanced System Care, Glary Utilities and CCleaner) should not affect the function of CIS or CLT.
Try this:
Make sure CLT is not listed in these parts of CIS (see this post again).
Disable the sandbox. Make sure your other settings are as follows: configuration = proactive, defense+ =safe mode, firewall = safe mode, image execution = normal and enable “Detect shellcodes injections”, antivirus = stateful.
Run CLT. The first alert that appears should be a defense+ alert that says “explorer.exe is a safe application. However, the executable clt.exe could not be recognized…” For this alert, make sure “remember my answer” is unchecked, and then click allow.
4)The CLT program window should appear. from this point onward, if any CIS alert appears, click “block”.
Click the “Test” Button, and remember, click block when a CIS alert appears.
