Importing/Exporting and Managing Personal Configurations

The CIS configurations can be exported/imported, activated and managed through the Configuration panel accessible by clicking 'Configuration' tab under 'General Settings' in 'Advanced Settings' interface.

Click the area on which you would like more information:

• Export a stored configuration to a file

• Import a saved configuration from a file

• Select a different active configuration setting

• Delete a inactive configuration profile

Exporting a stored configuration to a file

1. Open 'Configurations' panel by clicking 'Configuration' under General Settings in 'Advanced Tasks' interface

2. Select the configuration, click the up arrow from the bottom center and choose 'Export'. The Select a path to export the configuration dialog will open.

3. Navigate to the location where you want to save the configuration file, type a name (e.g., 'My CIS Profile') for the file to be saved in .cfgx format and click 'Save'.

 

A confirmation dialog will appear on successful export of the configuration.

Importing a saved configuration from a file

Importing a configuration profile allows you to store any profile within Comodo Internet Security. Any profiles you import do not become active until you select them for use.

To import a profile

1. Open 'Configurations' panel by clicking 'Configuration' under General Settings in 'Advanced Tasks' interface, click the handle at the foot of the interface and choose Import from the options.

The 'Select a configuration file to import' dialog will open.

2. Navigate to the location of the saved profile and click 'Open'.

3. The 'Import As' dialog will appear. Enter a name for the profile you wish to import and click 'OK'.

A confirmation dialog will appear indicating the successful import of the profile.

Once imported, the configuration profile is available for deployment by selecting it.

Selecting and Implementing a different configuration profile

You can change the configuration profile active in CIS at any time from the 'Configurations' panel.

To change the active configuration profile

1. Open 'Configurations' panel by clicking 'Configuration' under General Settings in 'Advanced Tasks' interface.

2. Select the configuration profile you want to activate, click the handle at the foot of the interface and choose Activate from the options.

You will be prompted to save the changes to the settings in you current profile before the new profile is deployed.

 

3. Click 'Yes' to save any setting changes in the current configuration, else click 'No'.

An activation confirmation dialog will be displayed. But the new profile will be implemented only on the next restart of the computer.

• A 'Restart Computer' alert will appear at the bottom right of the screen.

• If your want to restart the computer immediately, save all your work and click 'Restart Now'.

• If you want to restart the computer at a later time, select when you need to be reminded from the drop-down and click 'Postpone'.

Deleting an inactive configuration profile

You can remove any unwanted configuration profiles from the list of stored configuration profiles. You cannot delete the profile that Comodo Internet Security is currently using - only the inactive ones. For example if the COMODO - Internet Security is the active profile, you can only delete the inactive profiles, 'COMODO - Proactive Security, 'My_CIS_Configuration and so on.
