Protected Registry Keys

 

 

The 'Registry Protection' panel allows you to protect system critical registry keys against modification. It is essential that registry keys are protected against attack because irreversible damage can be caused if important keys are corrupted or modified. CCS protects important registry keys by default. This interface allows you to add and remove keys from protection.


Click the 'Registry Keys' tab in the Protected Objects interface.




 Clicking the handle at the bottom of the interface opens an options panel:




  • Add – Allows you to add Registry groups or individual registry keys/entries to Registry Protection list.

  • Edit – Allows you to edit the path of the Registry group or individual registry keys/entries of the selected item in the Registry Protection interface.

  • Remove - Deletes the currently highlighted Registry group or individual registry key from the Registry Protection list.

You can use the search option to find a specific registry key or group in the list by clicking the search icon at the far right in the column header and entering the key/group name in full or part. You can navigate through the successive results by clicking the left and right arrows.




    To manually add an individual Registry key or Registry Group

    • Click the handle from the bottom and select 'Add'.



    You can add the items by following methods:

    • Adding Registry Groups – Selecting Registry Groups allows you to batch select and import predefined groups of important registry keys. Comodo Client Security provides a default selection of 'Automatic Startup' (keys), 'Comodo Keys', 'Internet Explorer Keys', 'Important Keys' and 'Temporary Keys'. For explanations on editing existing registry groups and creating new groups refer to Registry Groups in HIPS Groups section.
    • Adding individual Registry Keys - Selecting 'Registry Entries' opens the 'Select Registry Keys'.



    You can add items by browsing the registry tree in the right hand pane, selecting the key and moving it to right hand side pane by clicking the right arrow button. To add item manually enter its name in the 'Add new item' field and press the '+' button.

     

    To edit an item in the Registry Protection list

    • Select the key from the list, click the handle from the bottom and select Edit. The 'Edit Property' dialog will appear.




    • Edit the key path, if you have relocated the file and click 'OK'.

     Note: The Registry Groups cannot be edited from this interface. You can edit Registry Groups from the Manage Registry Groups interface. Refer to Registry Groups in HIPS Groups  section.


    To delete an item from Registry Protection list

    • Select the item from the list, click the up arrow from the bottom and select 'Remove'.

    The selected item will be deleted from the Registry Protection list. CCS will not generate alerts, if the key or the group is modified by other programs.
