While I’m away from Avast Free for a while and I’ll be home soon I’m currently using the complete CIS and this is very interesting to see what Avast can do and can’t do during the test.

My CIS configuration setting is set to default as ‘Internet Security’ straight out of the first installation are AV, FW, Sandbox & Behavior Blocker, and nothing is set to ‘Proactive Security’ because the Defense+ is currently turn off.

  1. Download of Malware: Ok and after a few second CIS automatically detected as a virus by AV and quarantined (Pass)
  2. Drive-by download (EICAR.COM): CIS automatically detected as a virus through AV, Behaviour Blocker and quarantined (Pass)
  3. Potentially Unwanted Applications: CIS automatically detected as a virus through AV, Behaviour Blocker and quarantined (Pass)
  4. Phishing Page: Automatically detected through Bitdefender TrafficLight add-on through FF, when BT is turn off in FF CIS failed when using FF, and IF your using Comodo Dragon and Ice Dragon as a web browsers it automatically detected as phishing through CIS (Pass)
  5. Cloud Lookups: CIS automatically detected as a virus and placed in the sandbox, CIS also automatically queues it for submission to Comodo Cloud Scanners for automatic behavior analysis detected as a virus and block it (Pass)

CIS Pass 5/5.
