[QUOTE="TheMalwareMaster, post: 660059, member: 47679"] I'll try to explain better. If all the samples are detected statically, I think we will agree that the system is clean without any doubt. Considering the cloud part, or considering default deny products: you are usually running process explorer while executing your samples. If the sample doesn't even appear there, or no new processes are created, the malware couldn't have harmed the system at all. I will make two examples to explain myself better. 1st case: [URL]https://malwaretips.com/threads/signed-malware-downloader.74330/#post-659957[/URL] Here is pretty evident that COMODO blocked the two samples before execution, because they didn't even appear in process explorer, and no new processes were created. So, in my opinion, there is no need in using second opinion scanners here 2nd case: [URL]https://malwaretips.com/threads/8-8-17-20.74345/#post-659953[/URL] Here the system was completely clean, until I ran that .LNK file. A new process was created (see dynamic) and then comodo blocked wscript.exe. In this case, running a second opinion scanner is the proper action, because that malware could have performed other malicious actions (but, in the end, the system was clean too) [/QUOTE]
