The Widget
The CCS Widget is a handy control that provides at-a-glance information about the security status, speed of outgoing and incoming traffic and number of active processes. The Widget is disabled by default and can be enabled 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 CCS system tray icon. The context sensitive menu allows you to enable or disable CCS components and configure various settings. Refer to section The System Tray Icon for more details.
- The color coded first 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 CCS application:
- The first button displays the number of programs/processes that are currently running in the container. Clicking the button opens the Active Process List (Contained Only) 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 CCS tasks are currently running. Clicking the button opens the 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 CCS tray icon or Widget right click menu. Refer to System Tray Icon for more details. (Default = Disabled)
- The third 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. The 'Common Tasks' row is displayed only if 'Show Common Tasks Pane' is enabled under 'Widget' options of the CCS tray icon or the widget right-click menu. Refer to System Tray Icon for more details. (Default = Enabled)
- The fourth row displays the browsers installed in your computer system. Clicking on a browser icon will open the browser inside the container for a secure browsing session. You can tell the browser is running in the container because it will have a green border around it. Refer to Running an application inside the container for more details. The 'Browsers' row is displayed only if 'Show Browsers Pane' is enabled under the 'Widget' section of CCS tray right-click menu. This can also be viewed by right-clicking the widget itself. Refer to System Tray Icon for more details. (Default = Enabled)
- You can expand or collapse the Widget by clicking the arrow at the bottom.
