Submit Files to Comodo for Analysis
- Click 'Antivirus' > ' Submit Files' to open this interface
- You can submit files that have an 'Unknown' trust rating to Comodo for analysis. 'Unknown' files are those which are neither definitely safe (whitelisted), nor definitely malware (blacklisted).
- You can also submit false positives. These are files which you consider to be safe, but which CAV has quarantined.
- All submitted files are analyzed by Comodo experts and added to the whitelist or blacklist accordingly.
To submit files to Comodo
-
Click on the 'Submit Files' link in the main 'Antivirus Task Manager' screen. This will open the file selection screen:
-
Select a file that you want to submit on the right. Click the → arrow to move it to the left pane.
-
Repeat the process to select more items.
-
Click 'Submit As' and select:
- 'False-Positive' for files you consider to be safe
or
- 'Suspicious' for files you suspect to be malware
Progress bars indicate the progress of the files submission to Comodo:
When a file is first submitted, Comodo's online file look-up service will check whether the file is already queued for analysis by our technicians. The results screen displays these results: 
- 'Successfully submitted' - The file's signature was not found in the list of files that are waiting to be tested and was therefore uploaded from your machine to our research labs.
- 'Already submitted' - The file has already been submitted to our labs by another Antivirus user and was not uploaded from your machine at this time.
Comodo will analyze all submitted files. If they are found to be trustworthy, they will be added to the Comodo safe list (i.e. white-listed). Conversely, if they are found to be malicious then they will be added to the database of virus signatures (i.e. black-listed).
