Update Virus Database

Click 'Antivirus' > 'Update Virus Database'

The virus database must be kept up-to-date to ensure your system is constantly protected against threats.

There are two ways to download updates from Comodo's servers:

• Download update manually

• Download update automatically

Manually check for and download the latest updates

• Open Comodo Client Security

• Click the 'Antivirus' tab

• Click 'Update Virus Database' on the tasks screen

The following notifications are shown during the update process:

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, CCS is set to automatically check for and download updates from the Comodo servers before commencing a scan of any type.

• You can configure CCS to download updates on a per-scanner basis in 'Scanner Settings'. See Real Time Scan, Manual Scan and Scheduled Scan 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.
