Mysterious Undocumented 'Use Full Signature Database' Feature

Why is there no information in the CIS 12.2 manual about the ‘Use full signature database’ feature in General Setting > Updates > Options? It is as if the feature only exists in CIS version 12.2.2.8012 (installer SHA-256: 06715c8af4e5cbb93644db88c46bdd9a893be868845611ebe248720ff803b67c) and in a post at https://forums.comodo.com/francais-french/comodo-help-t126541.0.html moderated by C.O.M.O.D.O RT (Russia Today). Moreover, why can you not delete your own topics in this board?

This setting is still undocumented.

Can you tell us what it does?

Hi hwfanatic,

By default CIS uses Light Signature DB, but you can switch to Full signature DB at any time. In both cases its better to have cloud scan enabled. However, Full signature DB uses less FLS requests and is much more preferable for offline scan.

Thanks
