Comodo Client Security 12.4

Switch Off Automatic Antivirus Updates

By default, Comodo Client Security automatically downloads software and antivirus database updates.

However, some users like to control when updates are downloaded. For example, network admins may not want automatic updates because they take up too much bandwidth during the day.

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