IT Endpoint Manager

Switch off Automatic Antivirus Updates

 

• By default, Comodo Client Security automatically checks for software and virus database updates.

• However, some users like to have control over what gets downloaded and when it gets downloaded.

• For example, network admins may not wish to automatic downloads because it will take up to much bandwidth during the day.
  

• CCS provides full control over virus and software updates.

• Note: Managed endpoints – Automatic antivirus updates should be configured in the Endpoint Manager profile.

Automatic virus updates can be completely switched off, or can be switched off for individual scans.
