Virus and malware detection software which finds, removes and quarantines malicious files such as viruses, malware, worms, rootkits and trojans upon scanning a target system.

COMODO Antivirus is a potent and reliable security software solution that can help scan your computer for malware, viruses, and spyware, ultimately protecting your system against malicious threats.

During the installation process, users are given the option to change their DNS servers to the COMODO SecureDNS server, which can provide an additional layer of security.

Navigating the user interface is straightforward, with the current status of antivirus updates and defense systems displayed in the first section. The antivirus system provides users with various scan options, such as running a scan of the entire drive or critical areas only, or creating a custom scan preference. It also includes scanning for spyware and the ability to schedule daily or weekly scans.

A log file records all antivirus events and notifications, while the scanner settings allow users to adjust the level of real-time scanning, including on-access and disabled modes.

The Defense+ section is where the real power of COMODO Antivirus shines. Here, you can add or remove files to or from your local safe executable files database, run a program inside Sandbox, view a list of unrecognized files that are automatically placed inside Sandbox, set various rules (e.g. predefined policies, blocked files), and configure options (e.g. security level, execution control level, Sandbox security level).

Users can also manage antivirus configuration settings, diagnose unsolvable problems, or manage an endpoint.

A full scan of the computer may take a significant amount of time to complete, but COMODO Antivirus detects and quarantines a significant number of malicious agents while using minimal system memory. Other processes may run slower, but the added security is worth the trade-off.

All things considered, COMODO Antivirus is a robust and powerful security solution for protecting your computer against malware, viruses, and spyware. While the configuration options may be challenging for less experienced users, running the software with default options is still effective in keeping your system secure.
