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:




    • Name – Enter a label for the scan profile.
    • 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.
      • Click 'Apply' in the scan profile dialog.
      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.



      Edit a custom scan profile

      • Open Comodo Client Security
      • Click the 'Antivirus' tab
      • Click 'Scan Profiles'
      • Select the profile you want to update from the list and click 'Edit'. The procedure to update a scan profile is the same as adding a profile (explained above).

      • Open Comodo Client Security
      • Click the 'Antivirus' tab
      • Click 'Scan Profiles'
      • Select the profile you want to remove from the list and click 'Remove'
