Scheduled Scan

 

Click 'Antivirus' > 'Scanner Settings' > 'Scheduled Scanning':

The options you set in the 'Scheduled Scanning' tab will apply to all your scheduled scans. See Scheduled Scans for  help to actually create a scan schedule.

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

Configure schedule scan settings

• Open Comodo Client Security

• Click 'Antivirus'
  

• Click 'Scanner Settings' > 'Scheduled Scanning':

The detection settings are as follows:

• Scan archive files - The scan will include compressed file formats such as .ZIP and .RAR files. Supported formats include RAR, WinRAR, ZIP, WinZIP ARJ, WinARJ and CAB archives (Default = Enabled).

• Automatically quarantine threats found during scanning- Whether or not CCS should automatically take action against malware found by the scan (Default = Disabled).

• Enabled = CCS moves detected malware into an encrypted holding area known as 'quarantine'. Files in quarantine cannot run and pose no threat to your system.

• Click 'Antivirus' > 'Quarantined Items' to review quarantined files. You can restore items to their original location or permanently delete them.

• Disabled = CCS shows a results screen at the end of the scan. The results screen lists all threats discovered by the scan and provides controls for you to deal with them. See Scan Progress and Results screen in Run a Scan for more details.

• Automatically update virus database before scanning - Check for and download the latest virus database prior to running a scan (Default = Enabled).

• Show scanning progress – A progress bar is shown on start of a scheduled scan. Clear this box if you do not want to see the scan progress status.(Default = Enabled).

• Enable cloud scanning - Improves scan accuracy by augmenting the local scan with an online look-up of Comodo's latest virus database. Cloud Scanning means CCS can detect the latest malware even if your virus database is out-dated (Default = Enabled).

• Note – This setting needs to be enabled if you want to submit unknown files to Valkyrie for analysis. Valkyrie is configured in an Endpoint Manager profile.

• Heuristics Scanning Level - Heuristics is a technology that analyzes a file to see if it contains code typical of a virus. It is about detecting 'virus-like' attributes rather than looking for a signature which exactly matches a signature on the blacklist. This allows CCS to detect brand new viruses even that are not in the virus database.

• The drop-down menu lets you select a sensitivity level. The sensitivity level determines how likely it is that heuristics will decide a file is malware:

• Off - Disable heuristic scanning. This means that virus scans only uses the 'traditional' virus signature database to determine whether or not a file is malicious.

• Low - Least likely to decide that an unknown file is malware. Generates the fewest alerts. Despite the name, this setting combines a very high level of protection with a low rate of false positives. Comodo recommends this setting for most users (Default).

• Medium - Detects unknown threats with greater sensitivity than the 'Low' setting but with a corresponding rise in the possibility of false positives.

• High - Highest sensitivity to detecting unknown threats but this also raises the possibility of more false positives.

• Do not scan files larger than - Specify the largest file size that the antivirus should scan. CCS will not scan files bigger than the size specified here (Default = 20 MB).

• Click 'OK' to apply your changes.
