Scan your Computer for Viruses  

 

You can run a full scan, quick scan, or create a custom scan profile according to your preferences.

 

Run an on-demand virus scan

• Open Comodo Client Security

• Click the 'Antivirus' tab

• Click the 'Run a Scan'
  

 

Choose one of the following options:

• Full Scan - Scans every drive, folder and file on your system, including external connected devices.

• Quick scan - Scans important operating system files, system memory, auto-run entries, registry keys and hidden services.

• Create New Scan. Create your own custom scan of specific files, folders or drives. See custom scan to find out more.

• Click 'Scan' after making your selection (or just double-click the profile name).

CCS will check for and download any available updates before starting the scan. The scan will commence after updates have been installed:

The results will be shown at the end of the scan. The results show any threats found along with their location and severity level.

  

Use the check-boxes on the left to select specific files, or select 'All?' to choose every file. Then pick one of the following options:

• Clean - CCS will deal with the threats. They will either be deleted, disinfected, or moved to Quarantine, depending on the type of threat found.

• Ignore - Take no action on the threat. You can also create a permanent exclusion for the file.

See Quarantined Items for more details on quarantined applications.

See Ignore an application/file for more details on the 'Ignore' options.
