The Widget
The CAVS Widget is a handy control that provides at-a-glance information about the security status, number of tasks running and shortcuts to common tasks. The Widget starts automatically when CAVS is started unless it is disabled from the System Tray Icon or in the 'User Interface' of General Settings.
Right clicking on the Widget opens a context
sensitive menu similar to the one displayed on right clicking the
CAVS system tray icon. The context sensitive menu allows you to
enable or disable the widget or its components. Refer to section The
System Tray Icon for more details.
- The color coded row at the top of the widget displays your current security status. Double-clicking on 'At Risk' or 'Needs Attention' opens the appropriate interface for you to take action immediately.
- The second row tells you current status of the Comodo Antivirus For Server application:
- The first button displays the number of programs/processes that are currently running in the sandbox. Clicking the button opens the Active Process List interface, which allows you to identify and terminate unnecessary processes. Clicking the 'More' button in this interface will open the KillSwitch application. If KillSwitch is not yet installed, clicking this button will prompt you to download the application. Refer to the sections View Active Process List and Identify and Kill Unsafe Processes for more details.
- The second button tells you how many CAVS tasks are currently running. Clicking the button opens the Windows Task Manager interface.
- The third button displays how many files are added as 'Unrecognized' to the Files list and are pending for submission to Comodo for analysis. Clicking on it opens the Files list interface which displays the list of Unrecognized files.
The status row is displayed only if 'Show Status Pane' is enabled under 'Widget options of CAVS tray icon or Widget right click menu. Refer to The System Tray Icon for more details.
- The forth row contains shortcuts for five common tasks you have in the task bar at the bottom of the home screen. Clicking the shortcut on the widget will run the task.
