Comodo's Award-Winning Firewall Pro (V 3.0) Achieves Broad Distribution

Next Generation, Preventative Firewall Achieves High Acclaim from Leading Industry Sources in its Ability to Prevent Viruses, Spyware, Malware, Rootkits and Trojans from Infiltrating Computers

JERSEY CITY, NJ January 17, 2008 - Comodo, a leading Internet security company, today announced that the new release of Comodo Firewall Pro Version 3.0. is being downloaded and installed at a rate of almost 40,000 new users per day which makes Comodo Firewall Pro the fastest growing free firewall solution, protecting millions of computers worldwide. This new release advances computer

security from being a defensive and reactive system to a preventative and proactive solution based on a new A-VSMART™ technology architecture, (A-VSMART is short for "Anti; Virus, Spyware, Malware, Adware, Rootkit and Trojan"). While still free, Comodo's next generation firewall helps customers more effectively prevent virtually all types of threats from penetrating a computer and incorporates the latest security prevention technologies available.

Despite the sophisticated level of prevention, Comodo Firewall Pro (V3.0) remains easy for the home user to install and use "out of the box", yet does a better job of protecting computers from malware than conventional solutions because it operates from a prevention rather than a detection perspective. Unlike detection/ signature-based solutions that allow all applications to gain access to system resources to be evaluated based on their signature, Comodo Firewall Pro takes the opposite approach. Comodo A-VSMART architecture allows only those applications known to be safe to gain access to computer resources, greatly reducing the probability of damage occurring.

The feature list of Comodo Firewall Pro firewall is designed to integrate advanced technologies with a full set of features designed to optimize usability, enhance functionality and enable a high level of user configurability.

"Comodo Firewall Pro has achieved an unprecedented level of market acceptance from both industry experts and everyday users." said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. "Both PC Magazine and CNET's Download.com have given this firewall high rating for effectiveness because we developed this solution to prevent malware from damaging a PC in the first place. Since its launch less than 60 days ago, so many everyday users are embracing this solution that we are, in effect, protecting a small city every day. This solution is part of our overall strategic focus to deliver a Trusted Internet where the merchant/ customer interaction space can be secured and authenticated. At Comodo we are working to deliver this level of trust to the online world."
