Scheduled Scans

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.

Perhaps you wish to check your entire system first thing in the morning; maybe you prefer the middle of the night!! Comodo Antivirus gives you the power to choose, allowing you to get on with more important matters with complete peace of mind.
