Comodo Preset Configurations


By default, CIS is installed with 'COMODO - Internet Security' as the active configuration. Reminder - the active profile is, in effect, your current CIS settings. Any changes you make to settings are recorded in the active profile. You can change the active profile at any time from the 'Configuration' panel.


Click the links below to find out more details on each configuration:

  • COMODO - Internet Security
  • COMODO - Proactive Security
  • COMODO - Firewall Security

COMODO - Internet Security - This configuration is activated by default, when both Antivirus and Firewall components are installed (i.e. the complete installation). The firewall is always set to 'Safe mode' but, according to the results of the malware scan performed during the setup process, the HIPS setting may vary. If no malware is found, HIPS is set to Clean PC mode. Otherwise, the default is 'Safe Mode'.

  • Behavior Blocker is Enabled.
  • Only commonly infected files/folders are protected against infection.
  • Only commonly exploited COM interfaces are protected.
  • Defense+ is tuned to prevent infection of the system.

If you wish to switch to Internet Security option, you can select the option from the 'Configuration' panel.


COMODO - Proactive Security - This configuration turns CIS into the ultimate protection machine. All possible protections are activated and all critical COM interfaces and files are protected. During the setup, if only Comodo Firewall installation option is selected, the next screen allows users to select this configuration as default CIS configuration. If selected, Firewall is always set to Safe mode. But according to the malware scanning results performed during the setup process, if no malware is found, HIPS is set to Clean PC mode. Otherwise, the default is Safe mode.

 

If you wish to switch to Proactive Security option, you can select the option from the 'Configuration' panel.


COMODO - Firewall Security - This configuration is activated when the user chooses to install Firewall only and selects optimum protection settings for HIPS. Firewall is always set to Safe mode. But according to the malware scanning results performed during the setup process, if no malware is found, HIPS is set to Clean PC mode. Otherwise, the default is Safe mode.

  • Behavior Blocker is disabled.
  • Computer Monitor and Keyboard are NOT monitored.
  • Only commonly infected files/folders are protected against infection.
  • Only commonly exploited COM interfaces are protected.
  • HIPS is tuned to prevent infection of the system and detect Internet access request leaks even if it is infected.

If you wish to switch to Firewall Security option, you can select the option from the 'Configuration' panel.
