Hello and Welcome

Please check your settings in the Anti virus Settings
CIS > Anti Virus > Scanner Settings
What is the sliding bar on?

Also, When you unzip the files does it detect it then? or when you even try to run them?

it is on stateful

I’m wondering why CIS doesn’t detect once you download the zip file (1 good reason could be because, Comodo doesnt want to spike up the Resource usage of scanning a zip’d file instead it waits for it to be extract/executed)

Once you extract the file CIS detects; or when try to execute it Detects the piece of malware

Did this help?

Just to clarify you have CIS 5.0.1 Correct? and updated? ( CIS > More > About )

May i ask you to explain when you ‘get bug reports’?
