Comodo uses my hdd and I want it to stop

Hey guys, simple problem here.

Every now and then I’ll hear my hdd moaning, switch to my task manager and notice comodo is using it for what I reckon is a scheduled scan.

However, that hdd is where I stock my stuff, it’s huge, was expensive, and I’d rather it stays in sleep mode whenever I’m not using it (all of my system runs on an ssd).
I did not find anywhere in comodo’s options how to disable automated scans. Google only yielded me irrelevant search results such as “how to disable comodo automatic updates”.
I’d appreciate all the help you can give.

Thanks for taking the time :slight_smile:

In Advanced Settings > Antivirus > Scans and you can edit the options there

Done. My quick scan was already disabled but full scan was scheduled once a week. The peculiar thing is “only run when computer is idle” was checked, and I just noticed it happening today without idling. I’ll come back if it happens again.

Thanks for the help :slight_smile:

Also, if necessary set up drive (folder) exclusions to stop that disk from being touched by Comodo.
