Press Release Summary = Firewall outperforms other leading firewalls - both free and
paid - by passing stringent leak tests providing powerful protection against
hackers, trojans, worms and malware with "out of the box" settings.

Press Release Body = Jersey City, NJ (April 4, 2006) - Comodo, a global leader in
Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions, today announced the availability
of Comodo Personal Firewall V2.0, one of the most powerful personal firewalls ever
created free for all home users. The software provides one of the highest levels of
protection and control against known and emerging threats with its default,
'out-of-the-box' settings and is free of charge to the end user without any renewal,
license or subscription fees.

Suitable for both home users and corporate networks alike, the firewall features
both inbound and outbound packet filtering in combination with robust outbound
application filtering at the network layer. The new-look interface facilitates quick
and easy access to all major settings, including the powerful and highly
configurable security rules interface.

The latest release builds on the overwhelmingly positive reception of Comodo's
Personal Firewall V1.0 with new features and functionality including:

*

Advanced network, application and application component monitoring
*

Completely redesigned interface including 'Smart' pop-up alerts
*

More powerful and intuitive security rules interface
*

Full Application Behavior analysis
*

Improved application activity control
*

Windows security center integration
*

New application recognition database

A full list of new features can be found at

Importantly, Comodo's Personal Firewall successfully detected and blocked 16 of the
most sophisticated 3rd party 'Leak-Test' utilities, (small programs designed by
security experts that deliberately attempt to bypass a firewall's outgoing security
settings). Furthermore, it was one of the only firewalls to pass Comodo's own
'Parent Injection Leak Test' developed by Comodo's Digital Trust Lab to emulate a
hacker technique typically used in outbound Trojan attacks.

Comodo is delivering this highly rated firewall free to consumer as a cornerstone of
an initiative to empower consumers to create a safe and trusted online experience
whenever they go online. This new initiative will make available free to all
consumers some of the leading tools that consumers can use to be safe and avoid
leading threats such as phishing attacks. The free tools include; ability to
authenticate web identities in real time (www.VEngine.com ), PC vulnerability
scanning (www.HackerGuardian.com), free email certificates for secure email
encryption, secure BackUp for backing up files on your PC and iVault for password
management and launching secured Internet sessions. Most consumers now have to spend
upwards of $200 to achieve a comparable level of Internet security and safety. All
these products are offered free for the lifetime of the PC - without any annual
subscription fees or licenses because Comodo, as one of the world's leading
Certification Authority is setting the standard for Identity and Trust Assurance
online, ensuring that consumers and businesses establish trust online with true
e-identity and e-business authenticity.

"Internet security threats are rising at an alarming pace, and while consumers are
increasingly aware of the risks, to date they have very little ammunition to combat
and defend against these threats that are easy to use and cost effective." said
Melih Abdulhayoglu, President and CEO of Comodo. "Comodo developed these advanced
solutions so consumers will have access to simple, reliable and free tools for
trusted communication and commerce because consumers need to protect themselves by
knowing they are conducting business with legitimate organizations."
