Antivirus Overview
The Antivirus center allows to quickly and easily configure all aspects of the Antivirus component of Comodo Internet Security (hereafter known simply as ‘Comodo Antivirus’).
Comodo Antivirus leverages multiple technologies, including Real-time / On-Access Scanning and Manual / On Demand Scanning and to immediately start cleaning or quarantining suspicious files from the hard drives, shared disks, emails, downloads and system memory. The interface also allows administrator to create custom scan profiles which can be re-used across all scan types and features full event logging, quarantine and file submission facilities. Comodo Antivirus detects and removes threats that are present in the machine and forms an additional layer of security on top of the threat prevention offered by the Firewall and Defense+ components. The heuristics scanning capability of the application identifies previously unknown viruses and Trojans.
In order to maintain maximum security levels, Comodo advises administrators to run regular Antivirus scans.
On-Demand scanning is also seamlessly integrated into the Windows operating system. Administrators can scan specific objects ‘on the fly’ by simply right-clicking on a file, folder or drive and selecting Scan with Comodo AntiVirus from the context sensitive menu.
The Antivirus center can be accessed at all times by clicking on the Antivirus Shield button
