Press Release Summary: Newest version received 4 ½ stars out of five and is a
recommended editor\'s choice for desktop security.

Press Release Body: Jersey City, NJ, January 09, 2008 - Comodo, a leading
Certification Authority and global provider of security solutions today announced
that PC Magazine selected Comodo Firewall Pro (version 3.0) as an \"Editor\'s Choice\"
awarding it 4 ½ stars out of five. PC Magazine evaluated this solution and concluded
that, \"Comodo Firewall Pro 3.0 is all things to all people. It can act as a simple
personal firewall that handles only the basic functions. It can broaden its
protection to many critical system areas. And a super-techie can tweak just about
any part of it. Best of all, it\'s free!\"

The review continues with a detailed assessment of the solution\'s key technologies
that, together, keep computers nearly virus and malware free.

* \"Defense+\" for proactive monitoring of internal systems and processes:
Defense+ is an advanced Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) that monitors
and protects critical system resources which prevents system changes such as
rootkit installations, inter-process memory injections, key-loggers and more.
* Patent Pending \"Clean PC Mode\"
With this feature, applications already on your hard drive are assumed to be
safe and any unrecognized software will not be allowed to be installed unless;
a) the user grants installation permissions or b) the application is
recognized by Comodo\'s extensive white list of over one million applications
(and growing).
* Advanced firewall engine for preventative management of incoming, outgoing
Internet traffic:
Comodo Firewall Pro offers preventative monitoring of all inbound and outbound
traffic which will prevent hackers, malware and identity thieves from
penetrating a computer. The reporter, Neil Rubenking, explained, \"I subjected
the firewall to my usual barrage of Web-based tests, including port scans and
a variety of other sneak attacks. Comodo Firewall Pro passed with flying
colors. All ports were stealthed, making the computer invisible to hackers.
Every personal firewall needs to pass this test.\"

The review continues to highlight other innovations and features such as the
solution\'s flexible security rules interface, granular level user controls, enhanced
graphical user interface, lighter footprint and event logging. With this robust and
innovative set of technologies and features, PC Magazine rates Comodo as, \"A
well-thought-out set of protection levels [that] lets it conform to the needs of any
user, from novice to über-geek.\"
