Start CCS


  • After installation, CCS will automatically load when the endpoint starts.
  • Real-time protection is enabled by default, so endpoints are protected immediately after the restart.
  • We recommend you use an Endpoint Manager configuration template to manage CCS settings:
    • Log into Endpoint Manager > Click 'Configuration Templates' > 'Profiles'
    • See https://help.comodo.com/topic-399-1-786-10197-Profiles-for-Windows-Devices.html for help to build and deploy a configuration profile.
      • However, you can also configure the application at a local machine should you wish. The rest of this guide addresses how to use configure and use the application locally.

       There are 5 different ways to open CCS on an endpoint:

      • Windows Start Menu
      • Windows Desktop
      • Widget
      • System Tray Icon
      • Windows Defender
