Comodo Personal Firewall is the 'endpoint security enforcer' that integrates several protection layers for the ultimate safety of the desktop and server

PR9.NET October 19, 2005 - New York, NY US. Comodo Inc, a global leader in Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions today announced the release of Comodo Personal Firewall. The announcement means users can benefit from the security afforded by a full network and application level personal firewall and forms another plank of Comodo's strategy to help eradicate identity theft and online fraud by providing users with essential security tools free of charge.

Comodo Personal Firewall makes use of the same methods as expensive, enterprise firewalls but simplifies the operation of the product to meet the needs of a less technically savvy consumer. Technologies include advanced TCP/IP filtering, IP fragmentation handling, denial of service resistance and a full application based traffic filtering layer. The firewall hands home users out of the box protection against hackers, trojan horse programs, keyloggers and other internet borne threats

Comodo's latest offrering is the only personal firewall which provides full parent application control in its rules. This feature helps to detect illegal usages of allowed applications such as the case when a malicious trojan application is using Internet Explorer to connect to the Internet to transmit confidential user information.

Our personal firewall is powerful enough to be integrated into the toughest of layered network security architectures yet easy enough for even a novice to figure out. The investment cost of developing such powerful, free tools as these is a small price to pay if the result is a safer e-commerce environment", commented Melih Abdulhayoglu, President and CEO Comodo Inc.
