How can I tell?

I used to use Avast for my AV before switching to CIS. I was wondering how I can tell that CIS’s AV is actually scanning incoming emails? With Avast I had the option of a tag line saying it had been scanned ant was found to be a clean message. I kinda miss that sense of security now.

Q:
Does CIS have an Email scanner, a Web scanner, a P2P scanner, etc ?

A:
No it does not !
Comodo’s philosophy here is that malware has to hit the memory or the hard drive to get activated. And those 2 parts are scanned. Al other “scanners” won’t add anything to your protection level(s).

So for example if you receive an email with an infected attachment you won’t get an alert, if you try to open/save it you will. This reduces resources and yet makes CIS a very fast, light & powerful Suite.

Interesting. Never really thought of it that way before. Thanks! :-TU
