Hi Vlad,

On March 13th, I’ve requested to identify the issue that causes TweakBit Driver Updater detection so we can address it right away, but haven’t received any reply from you.
The program is built according to CSA requirements and was approved by AppEsteem, so it fully complies with all regulations. That is why without your input, we can’t find what causes Comodo’s flag and, therefore, can’t fix the problem to remove your detection. Can you please provide this information.

Thank you in advance,
Elena

Hi Vlad,

It is a third request to find out what exactly is causing Comodo’s flagging in TweakBit Driver Updater. The program fully complies with CSA and AppEsteem requirements and has only 5 detections, one of which is from your antivirus. Please see VirusTotal scan: VirusTotal
Can you please provide specifics, so we can correct it and eliminate your detection.

Thank you,
Elena

The final verdict is that it is a PUA (Potentially Unwanted Application) as Valkyrie tells: Advanced File Analysis System | Valkyrie .

However the name does not reflect it and names it a malware. :-\

Hello,

We have checked Valkyrie’s review and still didn’t find what exactly is causing the flag, just a statement of the verdict. Since it is Comodo File Verdict Service, can we please once again request the exact cause of TweakBit Driver Updater detection.

Thank you in advance,
Elena

The program has only 5 detections including yours and we would like to correct the issue causing it to prevent your detection in the future as well.
Looking forward to your reply.
