Update Virus Database

 

Click 'Antivirus' > 'Update Virus Database'


To ensure your system remains virus-free, it is imperative that the virus database is kept up-to-date.


You can download updates from Comodo's update servers to your system in two ways:

  • Download updates manually
  • Download updates automatically

 

Manually check for the latest virus database

    • Open Comodo Client Security
    • Click the 'Antivirus' tab
    • Click 'Update Virus Database' on the tasks screen
       

      Note: You must be connected to internet to download the updates.

       

      The following notification is shown when the update is complete:




      The following notification will appear when the update process is complete:




      When infected or possibly infected files are found, if the anti-virus database has been not updated for a critically long time, or your computer has not been scanned for a long time, the main window of Comodo Client - Security recommends a course of action and gives a supporting explanation.

       

      Automatic updates

      • By default, ССS is set to automatically check for and download updates from the Comodo servers before commencing a scan of any type.
      • You can configure whether these automatic checks updates take place on a 'per scanner' basis in the 'Scanner Settings. See Real Time Scanning Settings and Scheduled Scanning Settings for more details.
      • 'Manual Scanning' refers to 'on demand' scans carried out on items when, for instance, they are dragged in the scan box or the Comodo dock icon.
