i hate the prevx website - it even says explorer.exe is a virus - it targets legitimate things as virii

[Cudgelwap1]

@heavenofficial There are illegitimate explorer.exe files out there. Many viruses will use legit names for there malware.

It is a pity you set the heuristics to max, that totally stuffed this review...

You should have left it as is.

You should know that changing the setting to max will cause many false positive in everyday use!

Had prevx wanted this, the settings would have been set to max by the prevx team.

I have a CIS tutorial. I also have a CTM review.

[jerenator69]

I could've sworn you had a CIS review because i watched a CIS review and clicked the channel and subscribed and i think it was you but i couldn't find it. It was either you or mrizos but i remember it talking about the page layout was confusing because there wasnt a link to the free one you had to click the payed one to get the free and i remember it saying to set it on proactive security. did you have that video and remove it?

[Cudgelwap1]

Most people cannot get the protection out of Comodo because they won't know what to click on a HIPS alert. I cannot guarantee that Comodo will keep you safe. Nothing is 100%, but CIS is a good bet.

Yeah, i have Comodo time machine so i could just revert to a snapshot before i got the malware. for some reason system restore freezes even in safe mode so i just use comodo time machine. Would Comodo Internet Security on its highest settings offer good protection for the host machine? Considering i fix computers, that's what i normally install for the people who never want a virus which is pretty much everyone. They say it works fine and I have tested it a little but not alot. will tht work?

[Cudgelwap1]

Well, it is rare for malware to get onto the host machine. In the case that it does, you just clean the computer. It isn't the end of the world. The easiest way for malware to get to the host is by looking at the network and jumping to your host that way. A good router firewall will help prevent that.  Another thing you can do is have a good antivirus and a HIPS module with a firewall, like Online Armor free.

Nothing is ever 100% though.

maybe. and can i ask a question? how do you prevent a virus in vmware from getting to your main pc? I clean PC's and have always wanted to share me secrets and reviews but im too scared that the virus will hop onto my main computer. How do i prevent it from getting off vmware and going other places?
