Switch Off Automatic Antivirus and Software Updates

 

By default, Comodo Client Security will automatically check for software and Antivirus database updates. However, some users like to have control over what gets downloaded and when it gets downloaded. For example, network administrators may not wish to automatically download because it will take up to much bandwidth during the day. Similarly, users that have particularly heavy traffic loads may not want automatic updates because they conflict with their other download/upload activity.

CCS provides full control over virus and software updates. Click the appropriate link below to find out more:

• Switch off automatic software and virus signature database updates entirely

• Switch off automatic software and virus signature database selectively

• Switch off automatic virus signature database updates prior to Antivirus Scans

 To switch off automatic updates entirely:

1. Open the 'Tasks' interface by clicking the green curved arrow at top right of the 'Home' screen

2. Open 'Advanced Tasks' then click  'Open Advanced Settings'

3. Click 'General Settings' > 'Updates' on the left menu

4. Deselect the check boxes 'Check for program updates every xxx day(s)' and 'Check for database updates every xxx hour(s)'


 

5. Click 'OK' in the 'Advanced Settings' panel.

To switch off automatic updates selectively:

1. Open the 'Tasks' interface by clicking the green curved arrow at top right of the 'Home' screen

2. Open 'Advanced Tasks' then click  'Open Advanced Settings'

3. Click 'General Settings' > 'Updates' on the left menu

• If you want to suppress automatic updates when you are connected to Internet through certain networks

• Select the 'Do not check updates if am using these connections' check box

• Then click the 'these connections' link. The 'Connections' dialog will appear with the list of connections you use.

• Select the connection through which you do not want CCS to check for updates and click 'OK'.

• If you want to suppress automatic updates when your computer is running on battery

• Select the 'Do not check for updates if running on battery' check box

To switch off automatic virus signature database updates prior to AV Scans:

1. pen the 'Tasks' interface by clicking the green curved arrow at top right of the 'Home' screen

2. Open 'Advanced Tasks' then click  'Open Advanced Settings' 

3. Click 'Security Settings' > Antivirus' > 'Scans'. A list of defined scan profiles will appear.

4. Select the scan profile for which you do not want the automatic virus database updates prior to the scan

5. Click the handle at the bottom of the interface and select 'Edit'

6. In the 'Scan' interface, click 'Options' and deselect 'Update virus database before running' check box.
