Frequently Asked Questions

The Comodo Anti-malware Shared Space is a virtual hard drive. Programs and files that may be suspicious can safely be opened within Shared Space as it is isolated from the rest of your computer.

• Applications running in the container are not allowed to write to your local drive for security reasons. Instead, they write all data, and save all files, to a virtual drive.
• If you want to access files in the container from your local system, then you should download them to the 'Shared Space'. Shared space is a special folder on your local drive to which contained applications are allowed to write.
