Press Release Summary: Free CD-ROM Will Contain Software from Comodo and other major
manufacturers as part of a large campaign to help users be more secure in everyday
computing

Press Release Body: Jersey City, NJ (October 16, 2007) -- Comodo, a leading security
company and ICOS UNESCO IFAP (an NGO based in Russia) in collaboration with the
LinuxCenter is announcing today the distribution of a new collection of software
launched through a joint project called the \"Free Software for Education, Science
and Culture\". The software will be distributed via CD-ROMs and includes a diverse
set of applications to enable improved desktop security and to help users manage
documents, graphic, audio and video data and office programs.

This initiative is privately funded by ICOS UNESCO IFAP, an NGO (Non Government
Organization) focused on stimulating educational, science and cultural outreach
within many ex-USSR regions. ICOS UNESCO IFAP will distribute this CD-ROM free of
charge, and it includes a complete set of the most popular software products -
Comodo Firewall Pro, Comodo AntiSPAM, office productivity software, graphic editors,
FTP-client, etc.

\"The total cost of these proprietary software products, would normally be around USD
$4,000\", noted project coordinator and ICOS UNESCO IFAP (Russia) representative
Eugene Altovsky., \"We are launching this initiative to stem the use of pirated
copies of commercial software products by distributing users this free alternative.
The CD-ROM gives users all this software at no cost to encourage people to use
authorized versions of software rather than pirated versions\".

In addition to combating software piracy in Russia, this initiative also serves
another important purpose - to improve the cyber security of Russian PCs. This
CD-ROM includes security software such as the award winning Comodo Firewall Pro,
Comodo AntiSPAM and utilities for timely updating of operational systems.

\"The release of this CD-ROM will protect many computers from harmful malware and
viruses,\" said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. \"Our
goal is to make the Internet safer for all users by making our high quality security
products, like Comodo Firewall Pro, accessible to all. They are free, have the
multilingual interface, and are available to all organizations to distribute as part
of a worldwide effort to improve cyber security for all PCs users.\"

Other software copyright holders included in CD-ROM have been supportive of this
initiative and include Solveig Multimedia and Adobe Systems Incorporated. The CD-ROM
for Windows will be available at ICOS UNESCO IFAP (Russia) events and through an
extended network of community centers within the framework of PCLI Programme. The
CD-ROM can be copied and duplicated freely without further permission.
