Scan Profiles

 

• Scan profiles let you choose specific folders, drives or areas to scan. Once saved, you can apply a scan profile to a scheduled or on-demand scan.

• You can create as many custom scan profiles as you want

• Note: Managed endpoints – scan profiles should be configured in the Endpoint Manager profile.

Open the Scan Profiles interface

• Open Comodo Client Security

• Click the 'Antivirus' tab

• Click 'Scan Profiles'
  

CCS has two default profiles: 'Critical Areas' and 'My Computer'. These two profiles are predefined and cannot be edited or removed.

• My Computer - Scans every local drive, folder and file on your system.

• Critical Areas - A targeted scan of important operating system files and folders.

The following sections explain how to:

• Create a scan profile

• Edit a scan profile

• Remove a custom scan profile

Create a new scan profile

• Click 'Scan Profiles' in the 'Antivirus' tasks interface.

• Click 'Add'. The 'Scan Profile' dialog appears:

• Click 'Add' to select the items you want to include in the scan.

There are two ways to add scan locations:

• Manually enter the path in the 'Add new item' field. Click '+' to add the item.

• Drag and drop items from the left pane to the right pane. You can also use the arrow buttons.
  

• Click 'Apply'.

• Repeat the process to add more items.

The new profile will be available in the 'Run a Scan' panel:

It is also available for selection during a scheduled scan. See Scheduled Scans for more details.
