Comparison of Scan Types

 

Scanners

 

The following table shows the types of scanners in Comodo Cleaning Essentials:


 Scanner

Description

 Basic

 

Local, signature based antivirus scanner.

 FLS

 File Lookup System. The FLS attempts to establish the trust rating of a file by running three sequential scans. First, a file is checked against the local Trusted Vendors List (TVL). If the file is not present on the TVL then it passes onto Cloud Vendor Verification (CVV). If the CVV test yields no results then it passes onto Comodo’s cloud based AV scanner.

 CAMAS

 

COMODO Automated Malware Analysis System (CAMAS). CCE uploads files that have an unknown trust rating to CAMAS for further inspection. This needs to be enabled in options.

 Memory

 Scans running processes and modules.

 Hidden file

 Scan for hidden files and directories.

 Hidden key

 Scan for hidden keys and values.

 Hidden service

 Scan for hidden services and drivers (requires restart).

 Critical areas

 

Scan important registry keys, user data folders, and system files/folders.

 MBR

 

Scan boot sector (available if enabled in options).

 

Scan Types

 

The following table shows the sequence of scanners used during different scan types.


For example, ‘Basic > FLS’ means that the item is first checked using the Basic (local) AV scanner. If the item is not identified as malware then it passes onto the next scan type – ‘FLS’.
