How to Submit Quarantined Items to Comodo for Analysis
- Items which have been quarantined by the antivirus engine can be sent to Comodo for further analysis. The analysis can have the following outcomes:
- Confirmed as malware. The item will remain on the global blacklist
- Confirmed as false-positive. The item will be moved to the global white-list. It will no longer be flagged as malware by antivirus scans.
- This helps Comodo to enhance its virus signature database and helps benefit millions of other CAV users.
