Switch off Automatic Antivirus Updates


  • By default, Comodo Client Security automatically checks for software and virus database updates.
  • However, some users like to have control over what gets downloaded and when it gets downloaded.
  • For example, network admins might not want automatic downloads because they take up too much bandwidth during the day.
  • CCS provides full control over virus and software updates.
  • Note: Managed endpoints – Automatic antivirus updates should be configured in an Endpoint Manager profile.

Automatic updates can be disabled on a per-scanner basis. The following links explain how to do this for each type:

  • Switch off automatic virus updates
  • Switch off updates prior to a manual scan
  • Switch off updates prior to a scheduled scan

Switch off automatic updates in general


Disabling updates here means CCS will not download updates in the background.

  • Open Comodo Client Security
  • Click 'Antivirus' > 'Scanner Settings'
  • Click the 'Real Time Scanning' tab
  • Deselect 'Automatically update virus database':




  • Click 'OK'
  • You can still update the database manually by clicking the 'Update' tile on the home screen.

Switch off updates prior to a manual scan

  • Open Comodo Client Security
  • Click 'Antivirus' > 'Scanner Settings'
  • Click the 'Manual Scanning' tab
  • Deselect 'Automatically update the virus database before scanning':



  • Click 'OK'
  • This action means CCS will not check for updates prior to running a manual scan.

Switch off updates prior to a scheduled scan

  • Open Comodo Client Security
  • Click 'Antivirus' > 'Scanner Settings'
  • Click 'the Scheduled Scanning' tab
  • Deselect 'Automatically update the virus database before scanning':




  • Click 'OK'

CCS will no longer automatically check for download database updates prior to running a scan.
