How Comodo Antivirus
Software Works?
Comodo Antivirus uses a unique
multi-layered approach to protect
your computer from malware.
•
•
•
•
Known malware are
identified using a “blacklist”
signature file and deleted or
quarantined
Known valid files are
identified as safe using a
“whitelist” of valid files and
run safely
Intrusion Detection and
Behavior Analysis (Heuristics)
are used to identify potential
threats from other files and
deal with them
Any file not verified as
safe will only run in a safe
isolated system area called
the Sandbox where it can
do no harm to your files or
operating system
All that for free, plus a user-
friendly interface. You can also
upgrade to our subscription
version and receive world-
class customer support and
the industry’s only virus-free
guarantee. The firm is the winner
of the CNET Editor’s Choice Award
and has been rated Perfect for
Protection by the independent
test lab AV-Test Labs.
