Free
Software: Comodo
Comodo, a leading
Certificate Authority and worldwide provider of quality security solutions,
recently released its latest product, Comdo Firewall Pro Version 3.0 . This phenomenal application has already
received a perfect 5 out of 5 star review by CNET's Download.com. For the second consecutive time, Comodo
Firewall Pro was praised for being simple enough for beginners and very
prestigious to expert users as well.
With the release of
Version 3.0, Comodo has steered away from the traditional desktop security
based on detection methods. The company
has now moved towards a revolutionary new approach that goes by the name of
A-VSMART, which is their abbreviation for Anti- Virus, Spyware, Malware,
Adware, Rootkit, Trojan prevention.
A-VSMART provides front line defense, stopping destructive malware right
at the firewall. This keeps your system
safe because if an infection cannot execute itself, it cannot cause any
damage.
Overview of A-VSMART
Technology
The greatest feature of
Comodo Firewill Pro is it' brand new AV-SMART technology. This advanced system takes a proactive
approach at monitoring the internal applications of your system while actively
monitoring all incoming and outgoing web traffic. This extraordinary structure protects you
against security exploits in three ways: by providing much tighter control of
web traffic, effectively managing which programs will be allowed to access the
system's central processing unit, and by limiting the number of access to
critical system alterations.
Key A-VSMART Features
Defense+ - Comodo's advanced Host Intrusion
Prevention System that actively monitors your system and all of it's
processes. Defense+ prevents system
changes that may occur from rootkit installations, keyloggers and more.
Whitelist Database - A
helpful module that files your trusted applications. This database also includes more than one
million applications, one of the largest of it's kind in the industry.
Patent Pending - Also
referred to as Clean PC Mode, this innovation was specifically designed to keep
your computer free of viruses in effortless fashion. This feature helps the Comodo firewall to
keep malicious items away and also prevents any hostile processes from
running.
Advanced Firewall
Engine - This component manages all incoming and outgoing web traffic. It uses the highest level of system
monitoring to prevent malicious hackers and identity thieves from breaking into
your computer.
Comodo's industry leading
technology has led to more users implementing this new approach to protect
their systems; more and more users are turning to full-featured firewall
applications instead of anti-virus suites. Comodo Firewall Pro Version 3.0 is
rather versatile, able to act as a standard firewall while also capable of
handling more complicated tasks such as preventing sophisticated malware from
penetrating your system. The best part
of all, this amazing, innovative software is absolutely free.
Conclusion - Excellent Protection
Hands down, Comodo
Firewall Pro Version 3.0 is by far one of the best security programs available
today - free or paid. This software uses
advanced technology that is sure to be mimicked in the near future by competing
brands. The only knock on this program
appears to be the lack of spam regulation.
And while it doesn't include a virus scanner, the new A-VSMART
technology ensures that potential threats don't stand a chance at infecting
your system.
