home users and corporate networks. It features both inbound and outbound packet
filtering in combination with robust outbound application filtering at the network

full protection

such as SAFE, SPYWARE, and ADWARE.
* It uniquely passes all know 3rd party leak test utilities not seen in any
other firewalls. It also passed Comodo's Patent Injection Leak Test which
emulates a hacker technique typically used in outbound Trojan attacks.
* Windows security center integration and full Application Behavior analysis

alerts
