Malware Research Group investigated 15 Antivirus Programs
[see Adobe Photoshop PDF – My Blog]
“Malware Research Group has just finished a small test where we used a sample of Conficker.B worm and tested the same 15 programs we have used in our Project #16/malware test.”
Out of the 15, only 2 Antivirus were not able to detect the Virus.
One of those two was Comodo.
As I use Comodo Internet Security Suite, and have recommended it to many in my family and friends, should I be worried? Especially tomorrow? HELP
Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks & Regards = John
Tomorrow, conficker.c attacks, not the B version. I’m not sure if Comodo has this one. But I assume so as it’s so known. If not, defense+ will certainly protect you against it (as long as you don’t use Cleanpc mode 88))

Thanks Xan,
Appreciate the clarification.
I checked ‘Defense+’ and did I really select ‘CleanPC mode’?
Or is it the default setting when you install Comodo is the ‘CleanPC mode’.
Anyhow, I have quickly pushed the slider up to ‘Safe Mode’.
Hope that does the trick, and I don’t now get nuisance alarms . . . ???
I will now rush round to my friends etc. to do the same !
Thanks for your prompt advice!
Cheers = John
No problem John 
The cleanpc mode is the default configuration, if you have any other questions please ask them
Xan
Just one point,
I interpreted that ‘Safe Mode’ is sufficient, right?
No need to go to the ‘Paranoid’ mode in this case?
Any hints when a user might need Paranoid Mode?
Any disadvantages to being permanently in P Mode?
Sorry for all the questions!
Regards = John
Well, I stay forever in Safe mode ^_^. Paranoid mode is for the people that want to have around everything asked. For me, I like it to be as quiet as possible so I keep it in safe mode

Comodo antivirus catches this C variant, at least it does since march 23… 
And D+ was able to catch it for month possible even years before any antivirus had definitions for it…
My only question is. Can the Free version of Comodo catch and Destroy all the conficker versions…
A tad late seeing I only have a good 3 and a half hours before it gets bad. (If it does)
The combination of CIS AntiVirus and Defense+ will stop it dead in its tracks - free version or otherwise.
The only difference between the free version and the paid Pro version is the Pro version comes with live support and a Trust Connect license.

Thanks. Sorry i’m a bit of a newbie when it comes to new software. I definately picked a good choice for AV software then.
