Scan your Computer for Viruses  

 

You can run a full scan, quick scan, or create a custom scan profile according to your preferences.

 

Run an on-demand virus scan

  • Open Comodo Client Security
  • Click the 'Antivirus' tab
  • Click the 'Run a Scan' box
 

Choose one of the following options: 

  • Full Scan - Scans every drive, folder and file on your system, including external connected devices.
  • Quick scan - Scans important operating system files, system memory, auto-run entries, registry keys and hidden services.
  • Create New Scan. Create your own custom scan of specific files, folders or drives. See custom scan to find out more.
  • Click 'Scan' after making your selection (or just double-click the profile name).

CCS will check for and download any available updates before starting the scan. The scan will commence after updates have been installed:



The results will be shown at the end of the scan. The results show any threats found along with their location and severity level.



  

Use the check-boxes on the left to select specific files, or select 'All?' to choose every file. Then pick one of the following options:

  • Clean - CCS will deal with the threats. They will either be deleted, disinfected, or moved to Quarantine, depending on the type of threat found.
  • Ignore - Take no action on the threat. You can also create a permanent exclusion for the file.

See Quarantined Items for more details on quarantined applications.


See Ignore an application/file for more details on the 'Ignore' options.

Create a Scan profile

  • Click 'Create New Scan' in the 'Run a Scan' interface.



  • Type a name for the scan profile.
  • Click 'Add' to select the items you want to include in the scan.
     



  • Repeat the process to add more items.
  • Click 'Apply' to save your profile.
  • You can now select this profile after clicking 'Run a scan' or 'Scan Now'.
For more details on custom scan creation, see Create a Scan profile.
