Run a Quick Scan

 
  • Click 'Tasks' > 'General Tasks' > 'Scan' > 'Quick Scan'
  • The quick scan profile scans important areas of your computer which are most prone to attack.
  • This includes system files, auto-run entries, hidden services, boot sectors, and important registry keys.
  • These areas are of great importance to the health of your computer, so it is essential to keep them free of infection.
  • Note - You can change the settings of a quick scan in 'Settings' > 'Antivirus' > 'Scans'.
  • See https://help.comodo.com/topic-399-1-904-11862-Scan-Profiles.html for help with this.

Run a quick scan

  • Click the 'Scan' button on the CCS home screen
OR
  • Click 'Tasks' > 'General Tasks' > 'Scan'
  • Select 'Quick Scan'
  • CCS will download the latest database updates then start the scan.
  • To pause, resume or stop the scan, click the appropriate button at the bottom of the interface

 Note - CCS skips files which are larger than the max. size, and those that take longer to scan than is allowed. These thresholds are set in the 'Quick Scan' profile, which can be viewed in CCS at 'Settings' > 'Antivirus' > 'Scans'.


  • Results are shown at the end of the scan. The results show the number of items scanned, a list of all discovered threats, and the files that were skipped.
  • You have the following options if threats are found:
  • Clean - Will delete the file
  • Quarantine - Moves the file into a secure, encrypted holding area. Quarantining a file renders it harmless
  • Ignore - Allow the file. You can choose to ignore one-time-only, or ignore and create an exclusion (permanently ignore)
