Q:
Where can i download the latest full AV database?

A:
As long as Comodo is not providing this on the public website where trying to keep this post up2date.

Q:
Will this link work with my download manager?

A:
Yes. It will work with your download manager because it supports resuming. That makes it suited for people on slow connections.

Q:

A:
  • Save the file on your computer
  • Reboot in Safe-Mode
  • Open explorer and go to C:\Program files\Comodo\Comodo internet security\scanners and copy the downloaded bases.cav here

                                     OR

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
  • Reboot your system in normal mode

Your AV database should be the latest full, and should only need to do an incremental update for the latest updates released after this full.
