BTWI heard that some guys claim that the AV industry is working towards creating a "realtime sharing" and claims that its difficult to achieve.Well...2 ways to achieve that...either share the samples or the results...They both achieve the same purpose for the end users.DACS is available to any AV company for them to use. We will give them a license for free! And run the service for them for freeAlso I heard that someone says that we don't want to spend money and don't want to create our own signatures hence we launched DACS.My answer: Any AV company can send us their samples and we will generate the signatures for them for FREE! Yes, we will take on the cost of analysing and generating signatures for them for free!Melih
Sounds more like a desperate move to me.
Has Melih gone totally off his rocker Melih has removed all the OFF the topic crap from https://forums.comodo.com/news-announcements-feedback-cis/dacs-released-distributed-and-collaborative-scanning-t66827.0.html;msg473622#msg473622 To a new topic call Bob, who accepted a Job to promote AVAST, is coming to our forums to bad mouth us - 2https://forums.comodo.com/news-announcements-feedback-cis/bob-who-accepted-a-job-to-promote-avast-is-coming-to-our-forums-to-bad-mouth-us-2-t67144.0.html;msg473046#msg473046 I have no intentions of giving him the satisfactions of a reply. That kind of stupidity doesn't need a reply, it speaks for itself.
this whole idea behind "trusted volunteers" running all the scanning seems a bit suspicious to me, u could look at it as a legal smokescreen because having real computer users with their AV's being the scanners just doesnt make sense and heres why.Say for example that you are the volunteer and ur using Norton as ur AV. so someone submits a file to be scanned and thru the P2P network it gets written to ur disk (it has to, ther wuld be no other way to scan it). Let's say the file recieved by ur computer is actual malware, that means Norton would popup alerts at u letting u know in realtime, multiply this by however many potential hundreds to thousands of users submitting files to be scanned through DACS, the volunteers computers would be completely unusable from constant AV alerts.Its simply impractical with the system Comodo is saying, thats why it feels like the idea of these "trusted volunteers" is simply a legal smokescreen for a bunch of machines Comodo has themselves which are simply scanning on-demand, not real volunteers who have AV's installed and running on their systems like implied by Comodo just to get past legal obligations. just sounds like one big coverup to me.I don't trust them, they are being very vague and using dishonest business practices. but i guess we will see how it unfolds in the end.__________________
CIS will use DACS... you can simply use CIS to take advantage of DACS. You don't need to be a contributor. We have enough contributors already and not looking for anymore tbh.Melih
What if the file your talking about essexboy is one that Norton doesn't yet detect Does that mean that this trusted volunteer now has an infected computer
