I was searching over some test results and came across this. I was wondering what the failure could be linked to and whether this would be something of bigger concern?

Hello kchtim1, I am also very surprised, COMODO has become infected (FAILURE: Error, that is, the virus was not blocked and infected the system.) question: what about the sandbox?

This took a while to appear in the reports, because the CIS has been riddled with security flaws for a long time.
I’m curious to see what the comments here on the forum will be after this.
I’m curious what mental gymnastics they’ll do to say it’s nothing, that CIS still protects, but we’re seeing that’s not quite the case.
A serious CIS flaw.
As I said, you need to update your antivirus.
The sandbox couldn’t handle it because they need to update it. There are several exploits in the sandbox.
It’s already been reported here for people to fix, but nothing has been done yet.
Now here’s the result, and look out for more.
Dear New_Style_xd, I don’t think there will be any comments from the COMODO team.

Can you tell me what specific vulnerabilities
I would not trust those tests too much. They probably use old malware (even avast or eset score 100%, the second is particularly known for its weak zero-day components).
So yes, COMODO was bypassed once, but the rest of AVs tested is not better than COMODO in any way

I have to disagree. The difference between one failure and zero is pretty significant. The default deny architecture shouldn’t allow any infection regardless of the age of the malware. If this were a normal anti-virus company that released regular updates, one failure wouldn’t be a big deal. They’d release an update that mitigates the issue, but this is Comodo. There hasn’t been an update in months and there’s no indication that’s going to change. This is now a known exploit that will remain unpatched.

There’s no point anymore, CIS has just been discontinued, that’s official, according to the XCITIUM forum.
Yes, I also read about it on the XCITIUM forum.
What??? So we will no longer have a free comodo firewall?
From the post I saw on there, CIS has been “discontinued”. Presumably no more updates for CIS free or paid.
Hi New_Style_xd,
Can you post a link to that post on the Xcitium forum please ?
