[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 744653, member: 7463"] Regarding Comodo Firewall specifically: I had very little time to play with this new version, but just a few preliminary comments: 1). The setup should be the same as in previous versions. 2). About the detections from VirusScope- This may seem a bit odd- Note that they got rid of the GeekBuddy notifications that occurred if the Cloud AV found malware. Please note that now, if you have the Sandbox enabled, you will get no indication that VirusScope found anything- just the malware itself would be deleted. Shut the sandbox off, re-run the malware and only then will you see an AV popup. Point being, VirusScope is working even though you may not be aware of it. 3). Also about VirusScope (and this surprised me)- I tend to be exceptionally nasty with CF in private testing as I use it myself. I coded a worm which drops of a hidden System file which then connects out. I tried this malware a number of times with differing settings It was in all cases it was blocked without any Outbound connections being allowed. This was not a surprise- what was is that on my 5th try I actually DID get an AV detection, and this with Containment active. So within an hour or so, somebody (or something) at Comodo added a definition to my malware to the database. Kinda Cool. 4). In spite of a few requests, the sandbox still for whatever stupid reason is not cleared automatically on reboot. Although have orphaned malicious crap in VT Root presents absolutely no security issue, it would just be so much more elegant if it was cleared. [/QUOTE]
