Advice Request Comodo's absence on VirusTotal

[Anthony Qian]

I discovered today that Comodo is absent from VirusTotal's list of engines. It is currently unclear whether this is a temporary or permanent situation. Has anyone been able to shed any light on the matter?

You should try to look for the Xcitium engine instead

Thanks. I forgot about the rebranding of Comodo to Xcitium.

Xcitium is targeted towards businesses whereas the 'old Comodo' was for both businesses and home use.
If VT Xcitium detects no threat for a certain app does that mean VT 'old Comodo' wouldn't report detection too?
Are the engines still the same between them?

It seems that Xcitium = Old Comodo. The only difference is the name.

Anyway, do not expect too much of Comodo’s detection engine.

Thanks, in case of doubt I dump onto VT and check result of all detection engines.
