[QUOTE="FleischmannTV, post: 575900, member: 23687"] That argument goes for all security software. If a kid downloads a game hack / crack and it is sandboxed by Comodo, blocked by an anti-executable or detected by an antivirus, the kid will just disable the software und run the malware anyway. A good antivirus with low false positives at least makes you hesitate, whereas being blocked by an anti-executable or being "unrecognized" by Comodo gives you next to zero confidence in the actual maliciousness of the file in question. An anti-executable blocks everything, good or bad, and Comodo doesn't know so much stuff, that being unknown by Comodo doesn't inevitably mean it's malware, it could just as well be their insufficient whitelist. Then there are installers of legitimate software which are bundled with PUPs. The user will disable the precious anti-executable to run the installer, doesn't pay attention and boom, the PUP is installed along with the legitimate software. Precious comodo auto-sandbox would be silent during the whole fiasco as well, because the legitimate software and the PUP are both digitally signed and installed on hundreds of thousands or millions of computers.
