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.
 

Important Note: In order to submit unknown files to our file rating and malware analysis servers, please make sure the following IP addresses and ports are allowed on your network firewall:

  • FLS communication - please allows the software to access the following IP addresses:
  • 91.209.196.27
  • 91.209.196.28

  • 199.66.201.21
  • 199.66.201.22
  • 199.66.201.25
  • 199.66.201.26
  • Allow ports 53 UDP and 80 TCP
  • Direction: Outgoing (Endpoints to FLS)
 

The file ratings area lets you:

  • Manually add files to the file list and assign them a rating.
  • Submit unrecognized files for a file look-up, and view all files you have submitted previously.
