Defense+ Tasks > Common Tasks - My Own Safe Files
Comodo Firewall Pro allows you to define a personal safelist of files to complement the default Comodo safelist.
Files added to this area are automatically given Defense+ trusted status. If an executable is unknown to the Defense+ safelist then, ordinarily, it and all its active components will generate Defense+ alerts when they run. Of course, you could choose the 'Treat this as a Trusted Application' option at the alert but it is often more convenient to classify entire directories of files as 'My Own Safe Files'.
By adding executables to this list (including subfolders containing many components) you can reduce the amount of alerts that Defense+ generates whilst maintaining a higher level of Defense+ security. This is particularly useful for developers that are creating newapplications that, by their nature, are as yet unknown to the Comodo safelist. Files can be transferred into this module by clicking the 'Move' button in the 'My Pending Files' and 'My Quarantined Files' areas.
Click the 'Add' button to manually imports files or processes into this area:
The 'Move to...' option allows you to transfer the selected files out of the 'My Own Safe Files' area and into either the My 'My Pending Files' or 'My Quarantined Files' areas of Defense+:
The 'Lookup...' button allows you to check for information on the selected files by consulting the master Comodo safelist, 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. This is particularly useful in the case of 'My Own Safe Files' as it will allow the files you know to be safe to be added to the master Comodo safelist. This list will then be distibuted to all other installations of the firewall and allow all users to trust these files.
