File Rating Configuration
Click 'Settings' > 'File Rating' to open this interface.
- The file rating area lets you view and manage all trusted, malicious and unrecognized files.
- File ratings in CCS are obtained from our online file look-up service (FLS). This is a huge database of trust ratings of known files.
- When a file is first opened, CCS will consult the FLS to check the file's reputation on our global whitelist and blacklists.
- Trusted files are excluded from monitoring by HIPS - reducing hardware and software resource use.
- Conversely, files which are on the blacklist of harmful files are given a status of 'Malicious'. These files are quarantined or deleted automatically.
- Files which are on neither the blacklist nor the whitelist are awarded 'Unrecognized' status.
- You can also submit unknown files to Comodo for further analysis, or to run an on-demand file-lookup.
