HWMonitor, PowerDVD 8 Ultra and Race Driver: GRID

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

CAV says that HWMonitor 32-bit version (http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php) is infected by Heur.Suspicious[at]19402589. When installing PowerDVD 8 Ultra it gives many flase positives that some of its video filters and codecs are infected (packer something). CAV also thinks that Race Driver: GRID’s game file Codemasters\GRID\audio\speech\en\team9Term_2.raw is infected by Unclassified Malware[at]8350624.

I’m using latest CIS and virus database is 1194.

Good, you might also want to know that PowerDVD 8 Ultra and 9 (probably all versions of 8 and 9) are basically unusable when buffer overflow protection is on.

Nice, it looks like the latest virus database (1195) fixed those false positives regarding GRID and HWMonitor, but PowerDVD is still there. Now when I tried playing one recording I got this:
