[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 748286, member: 7463"] Actually running both of these samples used in this test under Cruel Comodo is kind of cool (I really should do a video about it, but I don't do videos anymore). You can see the damage that the malware is doing in the VTRoot directory (the virtualized space); it's so pathetic that it almost makes you feel bad for the malware (and CF also stopped ~500 Network Intrusions in 5 minutes). Also note one thing- in order to see how easily Containment handles the malware, I shut off the Cloud AV. If I had enabled the AV I would have just got an error message that the file could not be run, with that malware file being deleted by the AV. Needless to say there would be no fun there! (both malware samples eventually just terminated themselves in despair). With leads me to my complaint about CF- in previous builds a reboot would have cleared the Sandbox. Currently things like the above will hang out in VTRoot until a manual sandbox cleaning is done. In spite of innumerable private and a couple of Public requests, they still essentially told me to GFM (they hate me). Oh Well (sigh)... Fun Fact- there was a new Worm file that was brought to my attention last week- to my total surprise Comodo was the ONLY consumer level AV that detected and deleted it. Not believing my eyes I immediately ran that worm in my Kaspersky VM and it indeed did get right past it (I almost fainted). Understand that in statistics we would call this a N=1 test (no actual significance), but perhaps the Comodo Cloud AV does not suck as much as I think. Andy- Your answer is more complex: 1). Although I chose to do my videos under Win7 (the most popular OS), my initial testing is always under Win10. Normally this does not matter EXCEPT in the case of WD. 2). From the start I was a proponent of IMMEDIATELY switching from whatever Windows build to Win 10 because of the intrinsic increase in malware protection (I LOVED AMSI- Scriptors Beware!). Sadly many were swayed by Bullshit articles written by the ignorant that stated that MSFT was just trying to track people with Win10, so they both missed out on a superior OS and missed out on getting it for FREE. WD on Win10 is without doubt vastly superior to WD on WIN(not 10). 3). Tests like: [URL='https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/malware-protection-test-march-2018/']Malware Protection Test March 2018 | AV-Comparatives[/URL] are done with WD at default with no further Bells and Whistles. 100% Detection my (firm and extremely shapely) Ass! A zero-day info stealer can cut right through WD on 10 like a knife through soft butter. Anyone putting their faith in a test like this could reasonably assume that WD provides perfect protection. This makes me angry as my only concern is that the Peeps out there live a malware free life, and believing crap like this will lead to anything but. [/QUOTE]
