Comodo Preset Configurations

 

CIS ships with the following preset configurations:

• COMODO - Internet Security

• COMODO - Proactive Security

• COMODO - Firewall Security

By default, CIS is installed with 'COMODO - Internet Security' as the active configuration profile.

• 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 in the configuration panel.

COMODO - Internet Security - This configuration is activated by default when both Antivirus and Firewall components are installed. The firewall is always set to 'Safe mode' but, according to the results of the 'Quick 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'.

• Auto-Containment is Enabled.

• 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.

If you wish to switch to the Internet Security configuration, please select it 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 'Quick Scan' 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 the Proactive Security configuration, please select it 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.

• Auto-Contained 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 configuration, please select it from the 'Configuration' panel.
