FP or Great detection(confused)

Comodo Internet Security - CIS AV False Positive/Negative Detection Reporting
#1

CIS heuristics has detected two files and i’m confused, cause they are in the windows directory.PC is scanned with panda internet security 2010, threatfire, MBAM, q-squared anti-malware and they didn’t detect anything.The files look a bit suspicious to me too, not just to CIS.:)) Well, the results from VT:

MBR.exe-Heur.suspicious[at]74069237

and

NIRCMD.exe-Application.Win32.Nircmd.[at]16774100

As You know, eSafe and Sophos are the greatest programs for detection and disinfection.When i see comodo along them, that makes me feel good.:))

Hi bequick,

This file is a false-positive and a fix will be present within next updates.

This is not a false-positive and detection name is explained here: https://forums.comodo.com/false_positivenegative_reporting_is_this_a_malware_that_cis_hasnot_detected/cis_malware_naming_rules_for_potentially_dangerous_applicationsriskware-t38506.0.html

Thanks for reporting this, we will get back to you after a fix is present for the mentioned FP.

Regards,
Ionel
