[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 524315, member: 7463"] SHaFI- Exactly right. I didn't realize what they were doing with this EfficacyTest thingy. It may be a cool thing to use when testing pure AV's, but not something that is applicable to testing sandboxes (set an application to Trust then have it spawn malware?) Anyway, this morning I went through the pack and it contained fairly standard malware, nothing especially nasty. Just putting Comodo's sandbox on the default setting of Partially Limited stopped all the malware and just allowed one CTBlocker file to change the Desktop Wallpaper (easy to change back). But this is known, not an issue, and has been covered my me last year in some CF video or other. Also, putting the HIPS on Safe Mode would have yielded the malware being blocked in the manner that could be seen in my last RAT video. So although I am positively certain that no malicious intent was involved, the testing methodology from the original "Breach" video was flawed for the product tested. [/QUOTE]
