Hi JoeBlack40,

Unfortunately, I am not qualified enough to answer that question. One of the experts on this board will definitely be able to give you some wise words with regards to Comodo and D+.

All I can confirm is that it got through Avast and MBAM on my friend’s computer.

Sorry I could not be of more help.

Best regards,

It is when you break up the definition that things get interesting - but no idea what is to do wit anything

Wow seem rather like a music which’s name is in a language my computer can’t support when converted and renamed
When you try to see that name again in a computer which support that language it looks like that!

:smiley: obfuscated text I guess - but I don’t really know whats actual happen here

seems like may have pulled all obfuscated text it can get hands on from anywhere it can find it

I’m going to erase the picture tomorrow and post deleted unless someone can explain some purpose in it

25

If you don’t allow it to run, d+ would stop it.
Depends on user behavior. :wink:

It’s not just a free ad,you know…for whatever reason,my Avast doesn’t play well with OA,i’ve got some BSOD too…and with Outpost,web surfing is painfully slow,even with Outpost’s web guard disabled…PC Tools fw,i don’t like it,because it doesn’t have a terminate option,for active programs…so…Comodo is the best choice,at least for me.

31

I use PCTools Firewall and it has run extremely smoothly. The only two issues I have are:

  • An annoying ‘new network’ box which appears each time the computer is started

  • For ONE of the many WLAN connections I use, PCTools Firewall won’t let me on it

32

From my limited experience,PC Tools HIPS are not so effective.I just don’t feel secure with it,just a matter of taste i suppose. :slight_smile:

33

That is true JoeBlack40. I ran with ZoneAlarm Pro for a long time. It served me well until they released one version which majorly fücked up a lot of their users’ computers.

After that, it was all downhill for ZA Pro. Their software, in my opinion, unfortunately became slower, more resource intensive and, most importantly, the user support forum and customer support died.

That is why I changed firewalls.

I trialled PCTools Plus Firewall after reading the posts of the experts on this form and asking for their advice.

I read many negative comments about Comodo, Outpost and Online Armour. Admittedly, some negative commentary about PCTools Plus Firewall, too. However, I had to choose one. PCTools Firewall Plus was my choice.

I will wait and see how it develops. The two problems I described above are annoying, yet not ground-breaking.

Will wait and see! :slight_smile:

34

That’s right,Avastfan1,the pc’s are pretty much like people…if something is good for me,doesn’t means that is good for everybody.With the softwares as i said,pretty much the same thing.Mysterious ways for AI’s too :slight_smile:

35

Sorry JoeBlack40 - I’m not familiar with AI. Do you mean artificial intelligence?

36

Yes Avastfan1 :slight_smile:
Btw,what does the Alwil team said?Not a confirmation yet about the malware?

37

Hi JoeBlack40,

I have not heard anything about the malware yet. An official comment from Avast would be really great.

I would like to see this piece of malware analysed and specifically classified so that other Avast users are protected against the same fate my friend suffered.

Let’s hope we hear something soon!

Best wishes,

Avastfan1

No, I didn’t find it.

Were you able to analyse, classify and create a specific identification signature for this nasty piece of work?
Yes, but why?

Hi Milos,

Thanks for your reply. That is strange, because I sent it like three times to Avast from the chest! :S

You wrote ‘Yes’ that you were able to specifically classify it. Does that mean it is now not just identified as WIN32-Malware-GEN?

Could you kindly tell me the name of the virus? I would love to pass it on to my friend so he could read about what totally destroyed his computer.

Thanks!

if it was detected WIN32-Malware-GEN why you want a specific name for the virus? It was detected by Avast already
