What are the steps to take in order for me to prevent Comodo from killing installers and detecting as Malware? I tried disabling everything in it, but for some reason, it still worked. o.o


Not familiar with Comodo, but does it have an "exception feature" that permits you to override/make an exception ? Also, check the Comodo site for a Support Forum to provide assistance.

Have you checked the reviews of the recording programs to verify their credibility ? Some freeware may indeed be malware/adware.

I have had success using programs from NCH. Most offer a free 30 day trial and can be uninstalled/reinstalled.

If your sure that it is a false positive you could add it to Comodo's Firewall exceptions.

I would uninstall Comodo and install Avast Free then try the site to see if Avast picks it up, that way you will know for sure.

It might be, that the installer is bundled with some adware, like a toolbar, so it might be actually clean.
What is the malware's name? You can upload it here to see, if it a false positive: www.virustotal.com

If you are looking for a light, good and non-intrusive AV, you might try: Bitdefender Antivirus Free

I have been using Comodo for some time. Click on the pop up tray icons, then right click on the Comodo icon and disable HIPS. If you click on Antivirus>Settings you will be able to set exclusions.
I normally just get a popup when installing programs that asks me to allow it. Is a quite robust AV and takes some playing with settings to get it working the way you want.

Well, the exclusion option is there to add programs. I can understand getting frustrated with it, took me awhile to figure everything out. It has a lot of user definable settings.

Comodo isn't a good antivirus. Use AVG or Norton

No I'm serious. I recommend Norton or AVG BECAUSE they are recommended Anti-Viruses from 2 computer shops. One is Fusion Design Studio(They're awesome!) and Mark Wilcox's Computer Shop.

Norton is US product, it is good indeed, but it a very heavy load on a system, so it is mostly used by companies and besides using a paid AV these days is a waste of money, better to buy more RAM instead.

You can probably disable Comodo, and then install the program. After, finishing the program installation, enable Comodo. I use Comodo on my 8.1 desktop. I don't download a bunch of stuff on it, so I haven't experienced any download issues.

The older norton products (version 20 and below) are resource hogs. The newer ones are not.

    This is a custom made build PC that I put together. It may be low on the spec sheet but its decent enough to run a few games.
