Introduction to Comodo Antivirus for Servers

Overview

Comodo Antivirus for Servers offers 360° protection against internal and external threats by combining a powerful antivirus and an advanced host intrusion prevention system called Defense+.

When used individually, each of the Antivirus and Defense+ components delivers superior protection against their specific threat challenge. When used together as a full suite they provide a complete 'prevention, detection and cure' security system for your server.

Comodo Antivirus for Servers - Special Features:

• Antivirus - Proactive antivirus engine that automatically detects and eliminates viruses, worms and other malware. Apart from the powerful on-demand, on-access and scheduled scan capabilities, CAVS users can now simply drag-and-drop items onto the home screen to run an instant virus scan.

• Defense+ - A collection of prevention based security technologies designed to preserve the integrity, security and privacy of your operating system and user data.

• Sandbox - Authenticates every executable and process running on your computer and prevents them from taking actions that could harm your computer. Unrecognized processes and applications will be auto-sandboxed and run under a set of restrictions so they cannot harm your computer. This gives untrusted (but harmless) applications the freedom to operate whilst untrusted (and potentially malicious) applications are prevented from damaging your PC or data.

• Host Intrusion Protection (HIPS) - A rules-based intrusion prevention system that monitors the activities of all applications and processes on your server. HIPS blocks the activities of malicious programs by halting any action that could cause damage to your operating system, system-memory, registry keys or personal data.

• Virtual Desktop -The Virtual Desktop is a sandboxed operating environment inside of which you can run programs and browse the Internet without fear that those activities will damage your real computer. Featuring a virtual keyboard to thwart key-loggers, home users will find the virtual desktop is ideally suited to sensitive tasks like online banking. Advanced users will appreciate the ability to run beta-software in an environment that will not upset the stability or file structure of their production systems.

• Host Intrusion Protection (HIPS) - A rules-based intrusion prevention system that monitors the activities of all applications and processes on your server. HIPS blocks the activities of malicious programs by halting any action that could cause damage to your operating system, system-memory, registry keys or personal data.

• Rescue Disk - Built-in wizard that allows you to burn a boot-disk which will run antivirus scans in a pre-Windows / pre-boot environment.

• Additional Utilities - The advanced tasks section contains links that allow you to install other, free, Comodo security products - including Comodo Cleaning Essentials and KillSwitch.
