  • About ITarian

Control External Device Accessibility


  • Click 'More' > 'Preferences' > 'Device Control'
  • The device control panel lets you block access to external devices such as USB sticks and external drives.
  • You can also define exclusions for selected devices. The selected devices will be allowed to connect, but all others will be blocked.

Configure device control

  • Open Comodo Client Security
  • Click 'More' > 'Preferences' > 'Device Control':



  • Enable Device Control - Prohibits access to external storage devices like USB sticks and external drives. You can define exclusions to allow certain devices to connect. (Default = Disabled)
  • Log detected devices - All device connection / disconnection events, whether allowed or blocked, are added to CCS logs. You can view the logs in the 'Log Viewer' module. (Default = Enabled)
  • Click 'More' > 'View Antivirus Events' > 'More' > 'Device Control Events'
  • See Device Control Logs for more details
  • Exclusions - Add exceptions to device control. Excluded devices are to connect to your computer even if 'Device Control' is active. For example, if your company uses USB tokens to authenticate remote VPN connections, you should create exceptions for those tokens
