today, i was did some virus check test with CAVS.
you can do the test from below URL too:
http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm
unfortunately, CAVS did not pass all of tests.
The most thing that i can not belive is: CAVS can not recognize the virus file when i download it.
Symantec Anti-Virus program can prevent the file when I download it.
I hope CAVS design team can improve CAVS. So, I can trust CAVS 100%.
you should add BoClean to your defense ammunition. 
A standalone virusscanner isn’t always effective because it can miss some, BoClean detects en deletes malware before it even can open itself (R)
what every, thanks for your suggestion. and when i did the test, the BOClean was running…
Maybe you should send a ticket, this is a great problem if what you say is right 
Send a ticket and keep me informated
Hello alaertsxan,
how can i send a ticket for this case?
just now, i was try to download the virus test file “eicar.com” and named it “eicar(3).com”.
after that, double click that file, CAVS pop up the window of HIPS Application Control Alert ask me what i like to do.
after i clik Allow button, that virus file running successfully.
I would like provide all of related things to you or other person for resolve this kind of issues.
and I think you can do the test from http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm. you can get same result.

I submitted also a ticket so I hope they will fix it soon, Tnx for posting this like this we can make the world free of virusses
Don’t forget (CNY)
OK, i’l do it right now.
thanks,

I sent the ticket. and I’l update this problem information at here.
I’m a little new to CAVS but I have noticed some shortcomings on detection.
Missing a “test virus” isn’t a make or break deal but I am concerned about the real threats it misses.
The purchase of BOClean’s library should give CAV’s the resources to help increase it’s detection level at some point.
Hopefully sooner than later.
I’ve tested the files again and now CAVS blockes it.
At last they do something about it after sending 5 tickets :-\
I’m not having much success in mail submissions myself. :-[
It’s been over a week on several submissions I’ve sent in and they’re still not detected. ???
CAVS has a brand new engine we are working on and all the sigs are going into that Bear with us for a while… we don’t disappoint

Heh, I should have figured you had something up your sleeve… I missed the memo. ;D
Appreciate the follow up!

I’d feel a lot better about your post if you posted a URL rather than the actual thing (ZIP). I’ve not downloaded it, but are you actually allowed to distribute it? Often you are not.

CAVS flopped again on the PC Security Test 2007 :-

Nice to know that your protected 88)
That’s CAVS today, it can’t compete with the best. I guess it’s because Comodo puts most effort into the v.3 firewall now. But hang on, when BOClean is integrated with CAVS, things will change in the world of computer security. Comodo firewall 3 will be a revolution, CAVS (3?) will be an evolution… I think.
