during the installation of Comodo firewall 5.10 (the same happens with version 5.12) Avast reported Win32:Dropper-LJP [Drp]. See screenshot
Comodo mods in the Comodo forum say this is false positive. The hashes of the installed setup are identical with these from Comodo official side.
does someone else have this alert or did one install CF 5.10 or 5.12 soonly?
Must be if you are installing Comodo and both file open in temps while installing Comodo. However, all of this is true if you downloaded Comodo installer from its web site.
To tell you the truth I reinstalled Cfw 5.10 back at the end of december after trying out CIS 6, and I did not get any alert from Avast!; However, this could be a new detection added in Avast! VPS and that is why Asyn asked you to report it as a F/P and let avast! decides.
Leave it like that. Try the link from FileHippo or the MediaFire link I gave you. If you still get the alert, click the part of the alert that says “Report the file as a false/positive” at the bottom of it then go to File System Shield and exclude the file to continue the installation.
Unhappily when I try to report at http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php?loadStyles
each time I try, I get a ‘The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading’ from my browser.
So I can’t report it for the moment.
Did anyone check to to see if this comodo installer was digitally signed? and have you or can you compared the file hashes?
I extracted the 5.12.2599 installer Digitally signed Wednesday, November 07, 2012 7:02:40 PM
and i found no alerts at all.
Simple. the installer you are downloading is not signed or has been substituted. The Avast Network/Web Shield shield aborts the download/network connection because it sees it as infected.
is there a p[rticular file that it says is infected i have extracted the 5.10 installer you said to download and extracted it completely with 7zip. i scanned it and found no threats. see attachment
To DrHaze :
I also don’t get an alert while scanning ‘cispremium_installer_510.exe’,
but only when actually installing (from a cis1.tmp file in the Temp folder)
The ‘cispremium_installer_510.exe’ (for CIS v 5.10.228257.2253) is signed, and the hashes are the ones given on the comodo forum…
