COMODO Internet Security 8.0.332922.4281 BETA Released!

[cruelsister]

I just played around a bit with this malware mentioned above and noted that it can be easily recoded to take a listing of other directories and force the deletion of files there (although not system files, which are protected by UAC). So my suggestion is that NO ONE SHOULD USE the beta at this time until a fix comes in (it should be real easy for them- the Full V sandbox is version 7 is not effected).

Although I really want to stay on top of this issue, I will be leaving in a few days to ride herd on a bunch of Geeks at a recently breached retailer changes from what they were using to something that actually protects; so I will be gone for a month or two so won't be active on the board (Pity their IT guys- the Ice Princess Cometh).

What does "Viruscope Recognizers grid in ASE" mean and stand-for?

Are the Comodo Beta boards restricted to registered members only?

Only forum members can see Beta Corner of the forum so only members can see BETA. Publishing the link of the beta out of this corner is against forum rules of Comodo. But here is MT
And Comodo has Star Group members, these speacial board can access closed betas to check the betas in first hand. Maybe they know this?
I predict it, it is Viruscope db in Advanced Settings, because it was not in the previous beta.

Just a quick note- The issue that I found in beta 1 still persists in Beta 2, namely that a malware file can be coded so that it can get a listing of files in the directory where the malware resides and reach through the sandbox to delete the files present.

As this is a troubling (and still unresolved) issue, please don't use the current beta on production systems.
