[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 633074, member: 7463"] Personally I would never use Comodo at default. And one other thing- I was rushing apparently too much earlier and didn't have time to try the malware on a totally clean system. Without any protection involved, it will drop to a few places (mainly system32), set itself up for persistence, and will try to connect out. So the file is indeed fully formed. As this is an info-stealer, consider what it must do to exploit your system- it must have a component to harvest the stolen data as well as a component to transmit this data out to the Blackhat. So a stop for either of these components will protect the system (thus the need for an outbound alerting firewall). In the case of CF, even if a person sets up their Comodo in a way that permits the payload drop, the Firewall would still either alert the user of something trying to connect out, or with my settings just block the Outbound request silently.
