Press Release Summary: Comodo Firewall Pro, One of Most Popular Firewalls on the
Market Today, Continues to Power Ahead of Most Other Firewall Solutions in Downloads


Press Release Body: Jersey City, NJ, July 11, 2008 - Comodo, a leading security
company, recently announced that its Firewall Pro application continues to grow in
popularity with consumers and Internet security industry experts which accounts for
why tens of thousands of users every day are switching from other firewalls to
Comodo Firewall Pro.

Comodo Firewall Pro is free software that outperforms virtually all other firewall
solutions - paid or free because Comodo Firewall Pro (V3.0) operates from a
sophisticated, preventative, multi layered threat management approach. This approach
is considered leading edge by the security industry and is seen as being far
superior to most other traditional \"detection\" approaches used by other security
vendors. As a result, Comodo Firewall Pro has garnered many awards and distinctions
such as:

* PC Magazine: Editor\'s Choice (2008)
* PC World: \'101 Fantastic Freebies\' (2008)
* Computerworld: \'10 Essential (and free) Security Downloads for Windows\' (2008)
* Download.com: 5-Star Review Rating (2008)

Unlike most other firewalls that operate from detection/ signature-based platform,
Comodo uses a new model focused on system protection by restricting Internet or
system application downloads to only those known to be trusted. This approach
mitigates the need to \"clean\" viruses that detection-based firewalls would allow
onto a computer.
Comodo Firewall Pro is one of the most technologically advanced and compatible
solutions available

Comodo Firewall Pro is a flexible application that is compatible with any 32 or
64-bit Windows-based operating system, and the only free application that is
compatible with Vista. In addition, Comodo Firewall Pro is compatible with Windows
XP. Comodo Firewall Pro provides the highest levels of security against inbound and
outbound threats through its latest technologies:

* A-VSMARTT technology architecture that helps customers more effectively
prevent virtually all types of threats from penetrating a computer and
incorporates the latest security prevention technologies available.
* Defense+ is an advanced Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) that
proactively monitors systems and system processes to detect and prevent system
changes such as rootkit installations, inter-process memory injections,
key-loggers and more.
* Patent Pending \"Clean PC Mode\" allows the firewall to create a profile of the
computer with all existing applications registered as safe. The firewall then
carefully controls \"unsafe\" or \"unauthorized\" applications from gaining system
access. This prevents any unrecognized (and potentially dangerous) applications
from being installed. It also prevents any suspicious system processes from
running.
* Comodo Firewall Pro offers the highest levels of preventative monitoring of
all inbound and outbound traffic which will prevent hackers and identity thieves
from penetrating a computer.
* New user interface and configuration features provide further protection and
include:
o Stealth mode to make a PC completely invisible to opportunistic port scans
o Wizard based auto-detection of trusted zones
o Password protection of firewall settings
o Diagnostics to analyze system for potential conflicts with other
applications

\"Comodo Firewall Pro continues to secure more and more people everyday worldwide,\"
said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. \"Comodo
Firewall Pro with its A-VSMART architecture provides a highly effective, efficient
and lightweight system for worry-free desktop security to better protect users in
today\'s highly fluid threat landscape.\"
