Update Virus Database

 

Click 'Antivirus' > 'Update Virus Database'


The virus database must be kept up-to-date to ensure your system is constantly protected against threats.


There are two ways to download updates from Comodo's servers:

  • Download update manually
  • Download update automatically

Manually check for and download the latest updates

  • Open Comodo Client Security
  • Click the 'Antivirus' tab
  • Click 'Update Virus Database' on the tasks screen


Note: You must be connected to internet to download the updates.


The following notifications are shown during the update process:


 

The following notification will appear when the update process is complete:



When infected or possibly infected files are found, if the anti-virus database has been not updated for a critically long time, or your computer has not been scanned for a long time, the main window of Comodo Client - Security recommends a course of action and gives a supporting explanation.


Automatic updates

  • By default, CCS is set to automatically check for and download updates from the Comodo servers before commencing a scan of any type.
  • You can configure CCS to download updates on a per-scanner basis in 'Scanner Settings'. See Real Time Scan, Manual Scan and Scheduled Scan for more details.
  • 'Manual Scanning' refers to 'on demand' scans carried out on items when, for instance, they are dragged in the scan box or the Comodo dock icon.
