Comodo Personal Firewall Review

Internet, which is part of life of billions of people like you and me. The place which changed the life of many and made them millionaires and changing the world at each and every point of time. But, the bad part of the Internet is also present (there is always other side of the coin as well.) and if on one side it is making people millionaires then on the other hand it is also the cause of taking the hard earned money from many, we know it as cyber crime. Anyway, again the good part of the Internet is still alive and give a hard time to the bad people on the Internet and Comodo Group is one of those good people that contribute to make Trusted Internet. They are giving away free personal firewall software, which protects you from various threat.

Criminals are never at a loss for new materials. Professional malcode authors are constantly evolving their tactics at the expense of unsuspecting victims, driven by the goal of detection evasion and greater profitability. Authors, like those behind Storm Worm, have automation systems designed to pump out new variants every hour, minute, or even second. With malware authors releasing new variants at a blazing pace, 2008 will be another record year of malware.

There is a raft of anti-malware solutions on the market, but Comodo Firewall Pro 3.0 is a little different - it’s a highly effective and totally free software firewall application. It’s a proactive solution based on Comodo’s new ‘A-VSMART’ technology architecture - short for ‘Anti-Virus, Spyware, Malware, Rootkit and Trojan’ - and helps prevent virtually all types of threats from penetrating your computer. Yet despite its sophisticated level of prevention, the software remains easy to install and use, and offers plenty of customisation options for the advanced user.

1. Free means free! : Comodo firewall is a completely free software and they actually mean free. They don’t give any nag screens, no promotional offers, nothing. They are giving away the software at zero cost. They just require you to supply you with your email address, so that they can send you the registration key at no cost. They send registration keys to keep a track on how many people are using their software.

2. Great security : It delivers, what it is supposed to and thus qualifies itself as one of the better security softwares available on the Internet. In various tests, it has proved its worth and helped in identifying the unwanted elements. It blocks attacks from outside world and blocks malware-style leak tests. Let’s you take control of the softwares or programs which will access the Internet connection. Watch out bad guys, the firewall will not let you break into the computer so easily.

3. Simple Interface : The interface of the software is also simple. It is good enough for any user and most of the users will find ease in using and going through the options it has to offer. However, still there is scope of improvement but I’m sure that most of the users will be fine with it.

4. Recognize know programs : One of the good thing about this software is that it lets you scan your computer first and then automatically puts the known programs in the safe list and doesn’t give alerts for those softwares.
