Instantly Scan Files and Folders


  • You can scan individual files, folders or drives to instantly to check whether they contain threats
  • For example, this is useful if you are wary about an item you have copied from an external source or downloaded from the internet

Instantly scan an item

  • Right-click on the item and select 'Scan with Comodo Antivirus' from the menu:




The item will be scanned immediately.


Note - CCS skips files which are larger than the max. size, and those that take longer to scan than the max time allowed.


Click 'Settings' > 'Antivirus' > 'Scans', then open the ‘Full Scan’ profile to view these thresholds.
  • Scan results are shown when the scan finishes:



 

The results window has two tabs:

  • Threats Found: The number of files scanned and the number of viruses found.
  • Use the drop-down to choose whether to clean, quarantine or ignore the threat.
  • See 'Process infected files' if you need help with these options.
  • Skipped Files: Files that were not checked for viruses. The scanner skipped these files as they took longer than the scan time limit. (default = 9 mins)
