Manage Protection Settings on a Network/Device

• You can add/remove categories from a device or whitelist/blacklist specific websites

• A whitelisted website is always allowed regardless of the category to which it belongs

Enable / disable containment feature (Windows devices only)

To configure containment:

• Click on a Windows device in the left-hand menu

• Containment status is shown in the main, protection summary tile:

Containment is enabled by default. The following applies when containment is enabled:

• Files with an 'unknown' trust-rating will be run in a secure virtual environment, isolated from the underlying file system and user data. A green border is shown around the application window.

• Details about the file are sent to Valkyrie, a verdicting system that analyzes the file to determine whether it is safe or malicious. See https://valkyrie.comodo.com/for more information.

• You can see the results by logging into Valkyrie at https://valkyrie.comodo.com/login with your cWatch Office credentials. See https://help.comodo.com/topic-397-1-773-9563-Introduction-to-Comodo-Valkyrie.html for more help with this.

• If an unknown file is found to be safe it will be allowed to run normally next time.

• Click 'Learn More' for an explanation of containment.

• Click 'Open Valkyrie Portal' in the explanation to login to Valkyrie.
