[QUOTE="upnorth, post: 993722, member: 38832"] Time for a end assessment on this specific Free AV product. This time around anyway as the Hub might of course re-visit CA ( Comodo Antivirus ) in the future and do another test. I'm gonna start off with the positive side/part. Comodo's Auto Containment ( AC ) feature is a very good one and been a pleasure to watch in action. That it's ON by default is not just user friendly and smart, but also essential crucial. It's what save this product from a total embarrassment failure, but most important, it saves any normal common user that wouldn't know what a Horror story the Antivirus ( AV ) module is. I must admit that my previous assessment was plain wrong. It's even much much worse! If AC for any reason would go down, be turned OFF etc, it's not a machine and system I personal would wanna come close to. It would be treated just the same as the US army and several of the Swedish military force branches does with their infected machines. Physically destroyed or " Nuked " is a word I know is used. But on the other hand it matters less in the big picture since it's a brand/vendor that is very unknown, specific in Scandinavia and Europe. Unless one talk about certificates, but that's a enough messy story on it's own and belongs in another thread/section. Not a single static catch/detection during this specific test, speaks for itself more then enough or should anyway. The AV module/part of CA is so extremely utterly poor and weak that Comodo would probably be much better off rip that out and replace it with something that actually works. [USER=36043]@harlan4096[/USER] was kind enough and even tried to tweak/harden, but sadly not even that helped. The Hub submissions on undetected samples is always done to try help the vendors/developers, but in this case we have no idea other then it for sure never was a priority, and never was fixed. The HUBs disclaimer! Huge thanks for another great test [USER=36043]@harlan4096[/USER] (y):emoji_beer: and looking forward to the next. [/QUOTE]
