God I don’t know ! lol :stuck_out_tongue:

Cheers,
Josh

where do I start!!! :slight_smile:

Melih

At the beginning? ;D

Howabout you do a “mind ramble”? :smiley:

Yeah, that’s right. The only problem is that others are able to correct such a situation after an acceptable period, i.e. a few days.

Submitted this (look at the date):
http://www.virustotal.com/nl/analisis/ca8c45a7eebb5e0c4a6f3b422040822b

Two days later:
http://novirusthanks.org/blog/?p=636

Some more examples:

  • I still have undetected samples that were submitted over a month ago (re-submitted a few weeks later).
  • On 6 December I sent 12 or 13 samples (can’t remember). 12 are still undetected.

This probably could go too offtopic if we continue this dicussion :wink: Yeah i agree with you that it does take awhile for some samples to be added into the list but they have alot to catch up on aswell as adding new samples.

I submitted a fairly “wild” peice of malware the other day to comodo and the next update it was added into the list, They have to get their priorities right by adding the dangerous ones in first which i think thats what they are doing :-TU

Hi Grady,
Regarding your statement:

Maybe you'd prefer to look at this then; http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/b2c7929281289aaba28003cc147a0ecd

Grady, Others miss what others catch…

Yeah, that’s right. The only problem is that others are able to correct such a situation after an acceptable period, i.e. a few days.

If you can be specific about the samples, by SHA values we can track the fate of samples.

Thanks

Dear Friends.
Are these goodies we are promised going to be in the form of a Beta or just updates.
Thanks and Happy Christmas

How is the heuristics engine is going to work? I read it was going to be like CIMAS, however, just for the heck of it, I submitted the flash plugin installer and it rated it as susp.[1] based on 5 report entries.

How is COMODO going to handle FPs with this engine? :THNK

Just curios, as I’m desperate to have the heuristics engine bundled into the AV :BNC

Thanks and happy holidays

This is everything, last day is 6 november. Anything after that date I haven’t added to the list.

next update will be a having many new components and hence it would be prudent to do a beta first…

Melih

That’s how i imagined it
Thanks.

Now that it’s almost over, can you tell us if we will still be getting a new build before end of year? thanks!

I’m still wondering about the heuristic engine. I uploaded a threat to CIMA and you can see the report
http://camas.comodo.com/cgi-bin/submit?file=a52c0ccf4f57a10fad3ce99ab9ad15c6e27b0894c726cd6ab03930ceda57d67e

It was rated as not susp but it is a threat based to like 10 different AVs.

Now this other report
http://camas.comodo.com/cgi-bin/submit?file=c98f58e4d93835b56c1b1f861ceeabec6ad0a4feea742fcff8f4003598edca14

rated the file as susp by 2 entries.

I loaded an installer (see my other post in this same page) and it rated it as susp.

My point. How does CIMA rate the threats? Based on HIPS? Behavior? How?

Again, dont get me wrong, I use CIS in my 2 personal PCs and I recommend it and install it to my clients. Love the firewall and the D+ module and the safesurf thingy!! Anyway, all threats tested in CIMA where submitted to Melih directly! Sorry if I infect your PC Melih, hehe I bet you have CIS installed so your are all good!!! (:WIN)

(V)

One thing about all this quiet behavior is really nice, but I hope you don’t forget to keep the Paranoid option, let the end user decide to not use a whitelist (I don’t really Trust IE, and want to be alerted when something’s using it, but do trust Opera for instance). And still allow users to easily override the whitelist with their own blacklist.

Specifically I’d also like to have something where the user could choose to get an alert with recommendation, but not automatic action.

So something like:
Paranoid (traditional firewall/hips, alert on everything, user builds white/blacklist - provide suggestions)
Suspicious (Blacklist automatically, alert on whitelist still with suggestion to allow)
Normal (what you’re shooting for).

Maybe an option matrix (I like the current categories in CIS for alerting choices, but I’d want a second slider for whether to not use any comodo suggestions, use the blacklists or use both the blacklist and whitelist…

I just don’t necessarily want anyone making a choice for me on whether to allow something, but do enjoy extra info like whether the executable is benign or not…

COMODO is developing the new GUI for both advanced (power users) who want to know everything going on in their PC and for novice users who want the best security but don’t want/need to know/see everything.

:wink:

will i need cmf after the next update?

It depends if they integrate it or not. AFAIK they are going to integrate this next release.

, what was this topic created for ? Probably announcing this sticky ? 88)
https://forums.comodo.com/overview_cis/development_activities_for_comodo_internet_security_as_of_december_2008-t31970.0.html

So yes indeed, normally CMF will be integrated in the next release and I have this strange feeling that it’s coming soon… ;D

Whenever mods get these so called “strange feelings”, you can be fairly sure that it will happen. 88)
