Comodo Firewall Installer Malware ????

To my stupidity I deleted the comodo installer when It was detected as suspicious. Even then I recovered the detected file chromiumsecuresetup.exe from Avast quarantine and uploaded it to VT and none detected there. Seems like a false positive from avast. But even on demand scan done by avast doesn't detect the file as suspicious only detects the file as suspicious during on-execution. I then tried running the file in my VM that has an upto date Panda AV. The file failed to run there saying its corrupted, not detected by Panda though.

You can always re-download installer and upload to VT - just to make sure.

Might just be the case where the installer was corrupted somehow during the download process...

Becuase the installer is "not 7z archive", so %99 corrupted installer :)
It said "not 7z archive" because Avast quarantined it... Maybe the quarantined file is an archive.
"Chromiuminstaller" is an installer for Google Chrome. Do you have hardened mode enabled? If so, then it might just be a false positive.
No, this is not an alert from the hardened mode.

What does the file's digital signature indicate?

I deleted the installer so cant figure out that now. I had a pretty slow Internet of just 512 kbps so downloading the same file again is a time consuming and boring process.
