Malware in google ads disguised as popular software

So about a month ago, Leo from TPSC made a video, linked in the text file, talking about malware being disguised as things like VLC media player or OBS studio, and many other very popular software used by people who have a lot of very valuable data to steal.

I was hoping for comodo/xcitium to make some changes that would help all xcitium-made products better detect these kinds of malware.

As the video explains, the malware has a lot of null values in it to make it too big to upload to a scanning service and certainly too big to upload to valkyrie.

So maybe some heuristic signatures could be added to the database to help detect that kind of malware? Maybe VirusScope could be much more strict on any files that are too big to upload?

It's essential to stay vigilant against evolving malware threats, as Leo from TPSC highlighted in his video. Your suggestion for Comodo/Xcitium to enhance their products in detecting such disguised malware is a valid one.

Adding heuristic signatures to the database to identify these types of malware sounds like a proactive step. It can help in flagging suspicious files even if they are too large to upload to scanning services. Additionally, making VirusScope more stringent with files that exceed certain size limits is another good approach to consider.

Ultimately, these proactive measures can significantly improve the security of Xcitium-made products and help users safeguard their valuable data from increasingly sophisticated threats. Thanks for bringing this to their attention!

That video about malware in Google ads really hit home for me. A while back, I downloaded what I thought was a legitimate program, and it turned out to be a nightmare. My computer started acting up, and it took me ages to sort it out.

I totally agree that companies like Comodo/Xcitium need to be on their toes with this stuff. It's a relentless battle against these malware creators. The suggestion about heuristic signatures is a good one – it's all about adapting and staying ahead of the curve.

Speaking of adapting, I had a similar challenge in a completely different area – digital marketing. I needed to keep up with the latest trends. That's where ***** came into play for me. It helped me track and analyze competitors' ad strategies, giving me insights to adjust my own approach. It's a different ball game, but the principle of staying informed applies just as much in cybersecurity as in marketing.
