Comodo Launches Latest Version of its Free, Award-Winning Firewall Pro (V 3.0) and takes Desktop Security to a New LevelNovember 28, 2007; 01:39 AM
Jersey City, NJ, November 27, 2007 - To help consumers protect their computers from all forms of viruses and malware, Comodo, a leading Internet security company today announced the release of Comodo Firewall Pro Version 3.0. Comodo Firewall Pro protects millions of computers worldwide and this new release advances computer security from being a defensive, 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, Rootkit and Trojan" and represents a breakthrough in PC security architecture. 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, the software remains easy for the home user to install and use "out of the box". Comodo Firewall Pro (V3.0) does a better job of protecting computers from malware than conventional solutions because it operates from a prevention rather than a detection perspective, and incorporates a sophisticated, layered threat management approach. Unlike detection/ signature-based firewalls and anti-virus solutions that allow all applications to gain access to system resources and then try to detect previously identified viruses by 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. Breakthrough Technology: A-VSMART™ Technology ArchitectureThe key component of this next generation firewall lies in its A-VSMART (Anti: Virus, Spyware, Malware, Rootkit, Trojan) technology architecture that both proactively monitors internal system applications and processes while also actively monitoring all incoming and outgoing Internet traffic. Specifically, this architecture proactively protects against potential security breaches by; 1) enabling tighter control of internet traffic, b) controlling which applications are allowed to gain access to a computer's CPU (central processing unit) and 3) limiting critical system access to allow only trusted system modifications. To deliver this high level of protection, Comodo Firewall Pro A-VSMART architecture utilizes key proprietary technologies:
In total, this innovative A-VSMART architecture combines security features, multilayer intelligence, application protection and threat containment within high-performance, yet easy to use solution. Key Features HighlightsThis firewall integrates advanced technologies described above with a full set of features designed to optimize usability, enhance functionality and enable a high level of user configurability. Some selected features include:
Prevention Technologies Delivers Better Protections and BenefitsThe culmination of years of development, Comodo Firewall Pro delivers advanced preventative protection that offers a number of key benefits designed to:
"Comodo Firewall Pro represents a paradigm shift in the way we protect our PCs from security threats such as viruses, trojans and malware of all sorts." said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. "Today most security solutions are detection based and detection can no longer be the first line of defense. Rather, prevention must become the first line of defense in computer security and Comodo Firewall Pro was engineered with that capability. We should no longer accept security solutions, such as anti virus products, that allow all applications access to our computers and then these solutions attempt to detect the harmful applications. Instead, we need to start denying malware access the CPU and proceed from the position of allowing only trusted applications CPU access. The Comodo companies are able to deliver this breakthrough approach because we leverage our Certification Authority heritage to authenticate trusted applications and executables. Now, consumers can expect security to deliver on its promise – preventing viruses and malware from ever reaching a computer in the first place." Comodo Firewall Pro with its A-VSMART architecture provides a highly effective, efficient and lightweight system for worry-free desktop security to manage the variable and fluid threat landscape.
