This version takes security to the next level by introducing auto-sandboxing of untrusted files - totally isolating unknown threats in a virtual operating environment where they cannot do harm. Scan any drive or file. Get in-depth reports on viral activity. Detect suspicious files that behave like viruses do. Even scan compressed .zip files, where viruses often hide. Proactive intelligent protection intercepts unknown threats.

Instructions:

  • Download and save the file where you can find it, i.e., Downloads.
  • Reboot in safe mode. Start, shut down, then hold the F8 key when your computer begins to start. Choose safe mode.
  • Open Windows Explorer or File Explorer and copy the file you downloaded (bases.cav) to C:\Program files\Comodo\Comodo internet security\scanners
  • Reboot back to normal mode.

Alternative installation:

  • Type in following in "Start-->Run" and press Enter key: %ProgramFiles%/Comodo/Comodo internet security/scanners
  • Rename existing bases.cav to bases.old and copy downloaded bases.cav.
  • You can overwrite it, but you won't have a backup. Reboot your system in normal mode.
