Scheduled Scans

 

• Click 'Antivirus' > 'Scheduled Scans' to open this interface.

• Comodo Antivirus features a highly customizable scheduler that lets you timetable scans according to your preferences.

• Comodo Antivirus automatically starts scanning the entire system or the disks or folders contained in the profile selected for that scan.

• You can add an unlimited number of scheduled scans to run at a time that suits your preference. A scheduled scan may contain any profile of your choice.

•  You can choose to run scans at a certain time on a daily, weekly, monthly or custom interval basis.

• You can also choose which specific files, folders or drives are included in that scan.

• Comodo Antivirus gives you the power to choose, allowing you to get on with more important matters with complete peace of mind.

 From the 'Scheduled Scans' panel, you can:

• Set a new scheduled scan

• Edit a pre-scheduled scan 

• Cancel a pre-scheduled scan

The detection settings for the 'Scheduled Scans' can be configured under the 'Scheduled Scanning' tab of the 'Scanner Settings' interface.
