[QUOTE="hjlbx, post: 420174"] Most programs are added by Comodo to their Safe List by the on-going efforts of many users. If it weren't for them, CIS would detect most safe programs as Unrecognized. Lots of CIS users are unaware of this fact... the white-list\black-list file submission champion is MT's very own [USER=790]@Malware1[/USER]... It takes Comodo about a year to add most Windows files to the Safe List - believe it or not... and the process never ends because Microsoft must continually issue Windows updates. Comodo technicians must review each file manually before it is added to the Safe List... as Comodo File Ratings are not Virus Total based. [USER=2913]@yesnoo[/USER] After Windows Update - over the course of a week, run a Rating Scan... you will see exactly what I mean. I will give an example, every time Flash (a Trusted file) is updated via automatic updates, CIS will sandbox it... because it has changed and CIS has changed the rating from Trusted to Unrecognized. This CIS behavior is independent of configuration. Also, CIS only alerts and sandboxes to files loaded into active memory. So, if a file is updated - but is never loaded into active memory - then CIS will never generate any kind of alert nor sandbox it. [/QUOTE]
