Special Features
Auto-Containment
- Automatically runs unknown files inside a secure container which is isolated from the rest of your computer
- Contained programs cannot cause damage because they are denied access to the operating system, to the registry, and to user data
- This nullifies malware and ransomware by totally removing their ability to interact with the host computer
- Simultaneously, the file is analyzed by our cloud systems to establish the trust rating of the file
- Monitors the activities of processes running on your computer and alerts you if their actions could potentially threaten your privacy and/or security
- Ability to reverse potentially undesirable actions of software without necessarily blocking the software entirely
- Bulletproof protection against root-kits, inter-process memory injections, key-loggers and more
- Monitors the activities of all applications and processes on your computer and allows executables and processes to run if they comply with the prevailing security rules
- Identifies suspicious actions taken by processes running on your computer and generates alerts, enabling you to quickly revert the effects of malicious actions that may compromise your security and privacy
- Blocks the activities of malicious programs by halting any action that could cause damage to your operating system, system-memory, registry keys or personal data.
- Enables advanced users to enhance their security measures by quickly creating custom policies and rulesets using the powerful rules interface.
Comprehensive Antivirus Protection
- Detects and eliminates viruses from desktops, laptops and workstations;
- Cloud based scans mean you still get 100% protection even if your database is outdated.
- Heuristic techniques identify previously unknown viruses and Trojans;
- Scans registry and system files for possible spyware infection and cleans them;
- Highly configurable on-demand scanner lets you run custom scans on any file, folder or drive;
- Daily, automatic updates of virus definitions;
-
Automatically scans external devices when they are plugged in;
- Isolates suspicious files in quarantine preventing further infection;
- Built in scheduler allows you to run scans at a time that suits you;
- Simple to use - install it and forget it - Comodo AV protects you in the background.
Intuitive Graphical User Interface
- Advanced and Compact View summary screens gives an at-a-glance snapshot of your security settings;
- Easy and quick navigation between each module of the firewall, Antivirus and Defense+;
- Simple point and click configuration - no steep learning curves;
- New completely redesigned security rules interface - you can quickly set granular access rights and privileges on a global or per application. The firewall also contains preset policies and wizards that help simplify the rule setting process.
Comodo Client Security - Extended Features
Highly Configurable Security Rules Interface
Comodo Client Security offers more control over security settings than ever before. Users can quickly set granular Internet access rights and privileges on a global or per application basis using the flexible and easy to understand GUI. This version also sees the introduction of preset security policies which allow you to deploy a sophisticated hierarchy of firewall rules with a couple of mouse clicks.
Application Behavior Analysis
Comodo Client Security features an advanced protocol driver level protection - essential for the defense of your PC against Trojans that run their own protocol drivers.
Cloud Based Behavior Analysis
Comodo Client Security features cloud based analysis of unrecognized files, in which any file that is not recognized and not in Comodo's white-list will be sent to Comodo Instant Malware Analysis (CIMA) server for behavior analysis. Each file is executed in a virtual environment on Comodo servers and tested to determine whether it behaves in a malicious manner. If yes, the file is then manually analyzed by Comodo technicians to confirm whether it is a malicious file or not. The results will be sent back to your computer in around 15 minutes.
Event logging
Comodo Client Security features a vastly improved log management module - allowing users to export records of Antivirus, Firewall and Advanced Protection activities according to several user-defined filters. Beginners and advanced users alike are greatly benefited from this essential troubleshooting feature.
Memory Firewall Integration
Comodo Client Security now includes the buffer-overflow protection original featured in Comodo Memory Firewall. This provides protection against drive-by-downloads, data theft, computer crashes and system damage.
'Training Mode' and 'Clean PC' Mode
These modes enable the firewall and host intrusion prevention systems to automatically create 'allow' rules for new components of applications you have decided to trust, so you won't receive pointless alerts for those programs you trust. The firewall learns how they work and only warn you when it detects truly suspicious behavior.
Application Recognition Database (Extensive and proprietary application safe list)
The Firewall includes an extensive white-list of safe executables called the 'Comodo Safe-List Database'. This database checks the integrity of every executable and the Firewall alerts you of potentially damaging applications before they are installed. This level of protection is new because traditionally firewalls only detect harmful applications from a blacklist of known malware - often-missing new forms of malware as might be launched in day zero attacks.
The Firewall is continually updated and currently over 1,000,000 applications are in Safe list, representing virtually one of the largest safe lists within the security industry.
Self Protection against Critical Process Termination
Viruses and Trojans often try to disable your computer's security applications so that they can operate without detection. CCS protects its own registry entries, system files and processes so malware can never shut it down or sabotage the installation.
Containment as a security feature
Comodo Client Security's 'Containment' is an isolated operating environment for unknown and untrusted applications. Because they are virtualized, applications running in the container cannot make permanent changes to other processes, programs or data on your 'real' system. Comodo have also integrated auto-containment directly into the security architecture of CCS to complement and strengthen the Firewall, Advanced Protection, Containment and Antivirus modules.
Submit Suspicious Files to Comodo
Are you the first victim of a brand new type of spyware? Users can help combat zero-hour threats by using the built in submit feature to send files to Comodo for analysis. Comodo then analyzes the files for any potential threats and update our database for all users.
Device Control
CCS allows you full control over which type of external devices, such as USB pen drives and hard drives, can be connected to endpoints. Allow selected device class or block them all.
Windows boot protection
CCS can identify untrusted DLLs, apps, portable executables (PE) and autoruns that launched before CCS started.These may expose the endpoint to danger if the items are malicious.These items can blocked at the next restart of the endpoint.
