Submit Files for Analysis to Comodo
- Click 'Tasks' > 'Advanced Tasks' > 'Submit Files'
- Files you submit from this interface are uploaded to Comodo Valkyrie for behavior testing.
- Valkyrie is Comodo's file testing and verdict system. It's purpose is to discover whether or not a file is malicious or safe.
- CCS rates files as either 'trusted', 'malicious' or 'unknown'.
- Files with no rating at all are automatically uploaded when they are executed, or if they are discovered by a rating scan.
- Files awarded an unknown rating by an admin, user, or by Comodo are not auto-uploaded.
|
Tip - You can also submit files to Valkyrie from the Quarantine and File List interfaces. |

When a file is first submitted, the file look-up service checks whether the file is already queued for analysis by our technicians. Results are shown below:
- Uploaded - The file was accepted for review by our research labs. The file's signature was not among the list of files waiting to be tested.
- Already submitted - The file has already been uploaded by another CCS user and is queued for testing. This means the file was not uploaded from your machine.
Comodo will analyze all submitted files. If the file is found to be trustworthy it will be added to the safe list (white-listed). Conversely, if it is found to be malicious then it will be added to the virus database (black-listed).
Click 'Settings' > 'File List' > 'Submitted Files' to view all files uploaded to our labs. See Submitted Files for more details.
