Defense+ Tasks > Common Tasks - My Pending Files

Once installed, Comodo Firewall Pro watches all file system activity on your computer. Every new executable file introduced to the computer, is first scanned against the Comodo certified safe files database. If they are not safe, they are added to the 'My Pending Files' for users to review and possibly submit to COMODO. Apart from new executables, any executables that are modified are also moved to the 'My Pending Files' area.

“My Pending Files” is specifically important while Defense+ is in 'Clean PC Mode'. In Clean PC Mode, the files in 'My Pending Files' are NOT considered clean. For more information, please check 'Clean PC Mode' on the Defense+ settings page.

The 'My Pending Files Area allows the user to:

• Assess the pending files to determine whether or not they are to be trusted. If they are trustworthy, they can be moved to 'My Safe Files' using the 'Move to' button. Similarly, files that are suspicious can be moved to the 'My Quarantined Files' area.
• Use the 'Lookup...' feature to see if the master Comodo safelist contains more information.
• Send the file to Comodo for analysis using the 'Submit' feature
• Manually add files to the pending list for look-ups or submitting to Comodo
• Use the 'Purge' feature to scan the list for files that no longer exist on your system and remove them from the "My Pending Files' list.
  

In order to access pending files, navigate to: Defense+ Tasks > Common Tasks > My Pending Files.

The 'Lookup...' button allows you to check for information on the files by consulting the master Comodo safelist, Select the file(s) you want to check and click the Lookup... button. This will contact Comodo servers to conduct a search of Comodo's master safe list database to check if any information is available about the file in question. If no information is available, you are presented with the option to submit them to Comodo for analysis.
Clicking the "Submit" button will automatically begin the file submission process.

After sending the file to us, our developers will determine whether or not it represents a threat to your security. If it is found to be trustworthy, it will be added to the Comodo safelist. (see the section Submit Suspicious Files for more details on this)
You can manually add files to the Pending Files list by clicking the 'Add..' button and either browsing to their location on your hard drive or selecting a running process:

The 'Move to...' option allows you to transfer the files out of the 'My Pending Files' area and into either the My Own Safe Files or My Quarantined Files areas of Defense+:

Files can also be transferred into this module by clicking the 'Move to...' button in the 'My Own Safe Files' area.
