Comparison of Scan Types


Scanners

The following table gives the descriptions of scanners used in Comodo Cleaning Essentials:

Scanner


Description


Basic

Local Antivirus Scanner

FLS

File Lookup System. The FLS attempts to establish the trustworthiness 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 it passes onto Comodo’s cloud based AV scanner.

CAMAS

Upload untrusted executables to COMODO Automated Malware Analysis System (CAMAS) for inspection (available if enabled in Options)

Critical areas

Scan critical registry keys, system files and system configuration

MBR

Scan boot sector (Available if enabled in Options)



Scan Types

The following table gives the sequence of scanners employed while scanning various areas for different scan types. The symbol ‘ > ‘ indicates a sequential process. For example, ‘Basic > FLS’ means that the item is first checked using the Basic (local) AV scanner. Only if the file is not identified as malware by the Basic scan will the item pass onto the next type of scan – ‘FLS’.
