If all else fails, an option to create a bootable CD or USB flash drive should help you clean up even the most heavily infected PCs.Ĭomodo's sandbox is an unusual highlight. Comodo doesn't just enable running the scan daily or weekly at 4:30pm, for instance: it's just as easy to have your scan launch on Monday to Friday only, but only if the computer is idle and not running on battery. You're able to customize key settings for individual scans - the sensitivity of any heuristics checks, whether the scanner can connect to the cloud to query file ratings - and there's an unusually configurable scheduler.

These include the option to scan particular files and folders, the trusted root certification authorities store, the contents of RAM, commonly infected areas or the entire computer.

If you suspect you've been infected by something nasty, but can't prove it, the Rating Scan may be able to point you in the right direction.Ĭomodo can also scan specified files and folders, or you can set up multiple custom scans to carry out your choice of actions. This is interesting as it can show you files which aren't clearly malicious, but are considered untrusted (both executables and certificates), as well as files that Comodo hasn't seen before. A Rating Scan, for instance, scans running processes and commonly infected areas and reports on the reputation of all the files it finds.
