Scan Profiles

 

Click the 'Antivirus' tab > 'Scan Profiles'

  • Scan profiles let you choose specific folders, drives or areas to scan. Once saved, you can apply a scan profile to scheduled and on-demand scans.
  • You can create as many custom scan profiles as you want.
  • Note: Managed endpoints – Scan profiles should be configured in the Endpoint Manager profile.

    Open the scan profiles interface

    • Open Comodo Client Security
    • Click the 'Antivirus' tab
    • Click 'Scan Profiles'


    Comodo Client - Security has two default profiles: 'Full Scan' and 'Quick Scan'. These two profiles are predefined and cannot be edited or removed.

    • Full Scan - CCS scans every local drive, folder and file on your system.
    • Quick Scan - CCS runs a targeted scan of important operating system files and folders.
    The following sections explains how to:
    • Create a scan profile
    • Remove a custom scan profile

    Create a new scan profile
    • Click 'Scan Profiles' on the 'Antivirus' tasks interface.
    • Click 'Add'. The 'Scan Profile' dialog appears:

        • Click 'Add' to select the items you wish to include in the scan.

           

          • To remove an item, select it from the dialog and click 'Remove'.
          • Click 'Apply' for the created profiles to take effect.

          The new profile will become available for selection in the 'Run a Scan' panel:

          Remove a custom scan profile

          • Select the profile you want to remove from the list and click 'Remove'
