File Rating Settings
The file rating system is a cloud-based file look-up service (FLS) that ascertains the reputation of files on your computer by consulting a global database. Whenever a file is first accessed, CCAV will check the file against our master whitelist and blacklists and will award it trusted status if:
- The application/file is included in the local 'Trusted Applications' list
- The application is from a vendor included in the 'Trusted Vendors' list
- The application is included in the extensive and constantly updated Comodo safelist
Trusted applications are excluded from monitoring by Auto-Sandbox - reducing hardware and software resource consumption.
The 'File Rating' area allows you to view and manage the list of Trusted Applications and Trusted Vendors and to view the files submitted to Comodo for analysis.
