Configure Database Updates


It is essential you have the latest virus database to ensure you are protected against the newest threats.

  • Note: Managed endpoints – Database update settings should be configured in an Endpoint Manager profile.

The default policy of CCS for Linux:

    i. Periodically check for and download database updates

    ii. Automatically update the virus database before starting a scan.

See the following links for more details:

  • Manually update the virus database
  • Configure automatic database updates

Manually update the virus database

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

CCS will contact Comodo servers and download any available updates. Please ensure you are connected to the internet.




Сonfigure automatic database updates

  • Open Comodo Client Security
  • Click 'Antivirus' > 'Scanner Settings'
  • Select 'Real Time Scanning'
  • Enable the 'Automatically update virus database' option




  • Note - You can enable or disable pre-scan updates for manual and scheduled antivirus scan types.

See 'Scanner Settings' if you need more help with this.
