My Protected Files

---

  

My Protected Files setting helps protect specific files and folders against unauthorized modification. Protecting files prevents modification by malicious programs such as virus, Trojans and spyware. It is also useful for safeguarding very valuable files (spreadsheets, databases, documents) by denying anyone and any program the ability to modify the file - avoiding the possibility of accidental or deliberate sabotage. If a file is 'Protected' it can still be accessed and read by administrators, but not altered. A good example of a file that ought to be protected is the 'hosts' file. (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts). Placing this in the 'My Protected Files' area would allow web browsers to access and read from the file as per normal. However, should any process attempt to modify it then Comodo Internet Security blocks this attempt and produce a 'Protected File Access' pop-up alert.
