PCflank test and Comodo

Unfortunately, PC Flank website down ALL DAY today. Couldn't go back and re-test. Will post results when I can.

 

Hi ejr,

Unless you blocked OA from starting at bootup, some components will still be in memory. Hope this helps figure it out.

Cheers

Mike

 

I beliee that I have resolved the issue. I installed Comodo last Friday and have been failing the PC Flank leak test time and time again. At Comodo, they thought that this could be a conflict with On-line Armor. I am still not sure as I simply don't posess the technical knowledge to troubleshoot and figure it out. However, I did finally pass this leaktest. Here's how:

1. When I was running the leak test all those times before, I would download the leaktest.exe file but not save it to my computer. I would simply run the program from the download. For some reason, this allowed leaktest.exe to use Internet Explorer through OLE automation. I failed the test every time doing it this way.

2. However, if I saved the file to my desktop. Then launched the program (leaktest.exe) Comodo stopped it every time.

Does that make sense?

Question: should Comodo stop the leaktest in both scenario 1 and scenario 2 above?

That is an odd one. Most drive by downloads utilized by malware don't require you to save the malware to your folder. I used the leaktest a while back on one of my computers and I did not recall having to save the program file on a folder.

 

I emailed Comodo Tech Support (not the support forum, but actually tech support). They said that they identified the issue and would have a fix out next week.
