Run a Quick Scan

• Click 'Tasks' > 'General Tasks' > 'Scan' > 'Quick Scan'

• The quick scan profile scans important areas of your computer which are most prone to attack.

• This includes system files, auto-run entries, hidden services, boot sectors, and important registry keys.

• These areas are of great importance to the health of your computer, so it is essential to keep them free of infection.

• Note - You can change the settings of a quick scan in 'Settings' > 'Antivirus' > 'Scans'.
  

• See https://help.comodo.com/topic-399-1-904-11862-Scan-Profiles.html for help with this.

Run a quick scan

• Click the 'Scan' button on the CCS home screen

OR

• Click 'Tasks' > 'General Tasks' > 'Scan'

• Select 'Quick Scan'

• CCS will download the latest database updates then start the scan.

• To pause, resume or stop the scan, click the appropriate button at the bottom of the interface

• Results are shown at the end of the scan. The results show the number of items scanned, a list of all discovered threats, and the files that were skipped.

• You have the following options if threats are found:

• Clean - Will delete the file

• Quarantine - Moves the file into a secure, encrypted holding area. Quarantining a file renders it harmless

• Ignore - Allow the file. You can choose to ignore one-time-only, or ignore and create an exclusion (permanently ignore)
