Clean PC Mode
This is a PATENT-PENDING feature that takes a profile of a new PC and
all the applications in it and registers them as safe. Then, the only
applications that get installed onto your PC are those applications
listed in Comodo’s extensive white list database of trusted
applications (which contains nearly one million applications and
growing) or new applications that you expressly permit to be installed.
This feature prevents most types of malware and rootkits from getting
installed and keeps a new PC virus and malware free.
Advanced Network Firewall Engine
Comodo Firewall Pro offers the highest levels of perimeter security against inbound and outbound threats
Protection against hackers, malware and identity thieves
New Stealth Mode to make your P.C. completely invisible to hackers and port scans
Highly configurable rules interface suitable for advanced users
Wizard based auto-detection of trusted zones
Defense+ Host Intrusion Prevention System
With Comodo Firewall Pro 3.0, we added another critical layer of
protection to an already excellent firewall. Defense+ is one of the
most advanced Host Intrusion Prevention Systems available in any
desktop security program.
- Bulletproof protection against root-kits, inter-process memory injections, key-loggers and more
- Authenticates the integrity of every program before allowing it to load into your computer's memory.
- Alerts you every time an unknown or untrusted applications attempts to run or install
- Blocks Viruses, Trojans and Spy-ware before they can ever get onto your system
- Prevents unauthorized modification of critical operating system files and registry entries
Comodo Firewall Pro 3.0 has a completely redesigned security rules interface. Users can quickly set granular access rights and privileges on a global or per application basis using the flexible and easy to understand GUI. The firewall also contains pre-set policies and wizards that help simplify the rule setting process.
Intuitive Graphical User Interface
The GUI of Comodo Personal Firewall 3.0 features significant improvements over previous versions.
- Summary screen gives an at-a-glance snapshot of your security settings
- Easy and quick navigation between each module of the firewall
- Context relevant help and advice available throughout the application
- Simple point and click configuration - no steep learning curves
Smart Pop-up Alerts
Whenever the firewall detects a potential threat, you are immediately
informed with a pop-up alert. Each alert includes a Security
Considerations section which provides clear advice on whether you
should allow or block a process. Users can easily configure how many
alerts they see by adjusting a slider within the interface.
Application Behavior Analysis
Comodo Firewall Pro analyses each application's behavior and
detects any suspicious activity before allowing internet access. This
powerful new feature enables it to detect more Trojan activity than any
other firewall - including:
- DLL/Code injections
- Hidden Connection Attempts
CFP 3.0 also features advanced protocol driver level protection - essential for the defense of your PC against Trojans that run their own protocol drivers.
The Firewall That Learns
New 'Training Mode' enables the firewall and host intrusion
prevention systems to automatically create 'allow' rules for new
components of applications you have decided to trust. In short - you
won't receive pointless alerts for those programs you trust - the
firewall will learn how they work and only warn you when it detects
truly suspicious behavior.
Windows Security Center Integration
Comodo Personal Firewall 3.0 is fully recognized by Windows Vista/XP Security Center as a trusted personal firewall.
Self Protection against Critical Process Termination
After breaking into your house, the first thing a burglar does is
try to switch off your alarm. Similarly, viruses and Trojans often try
to disable your computer's security applications so they can operate
without detection. Comodo Firewall Pro protects its own registry
entries, system files and processes so malware can never shut it down
or sabotage the installation.
Application Recognition Database
Comodo Firewall Pro includes a proprietary and continually updated
white list of 1,000,000 safe executables. The integrity of every
executable is checked against this database and Firewall Pro will alert
users of potentially damaging applications before they are installed.
In many cases, this proactive approach averts damage from viruses or
root-kits that are not known to anti-virus software.
Automatic Updates
Comodo Firewall Pro automatically downloads updates every time you
start your computer - making sure you are 100% protected at all times.
Updates can also be scheduled according to your preferences or can be
manually downloaded with a single click.
Submit Suspicious Files to Comodo
Are you the first victim of a brand new type of spyware? Users can
help combat zero-hour threats by using the built in submit feature to
send files to Comodo for analysis. Comodo will then analyze the files
for any potential threats and update our database for all users.
Firewall Event Logging
Version 3.0 features a vastly improved log management module -
allowing users to export records of firewall activity according to
several user-defined filters. Beginners and advanced users alike will
greatly benefit from this essential troubleshooting feature.
So, welcome. Please have a look around.
