After downloading and installing Comodo anti-virus, Comodo seems to be a very thorough anti-virus program that covers all the bases of PC protection including:

  • 📁 Protection of drives and directories.

These step by step intructions whitelist any program or file in all three areas of protection, folders and directories, memory, and internet access.

  1. Double click the Comodo antivirus system tray icon to make the programs main interface visible.
  2. At the top of the software click the ⚙ Settings link to open the anti-virus settings screen.
  3. In the left pane of the software, click Advanced Protection. This will open a submenu.
  4. In the sub menu click Scan Exclusions. This will bring up the scan exclusions dialog.
  5. To exclude a single file or program, click EXCLUDED APPLICATIONS.
  6. Click the Add button. This will cause a dropdown submenu to appear.
  7. Click the Applications menu item.
  8. A find file dialog box will appear. Navigate to the file or program and double click it to add it to the list of application exclusions. This will whitelist the program/file on the hard disk so the file does not get deleted when Comodo antivirus performs its regular scan of your hard drive.
