Comodo Personal Firewall
A firewall is essential to protect your computer from attack while it is connected to the Internet.
Windows XP includes a basic firewall, but this only guards against attacks from outside. It will not alert you to
something malicious you received or downloaded that is sending information out. Comodo Personal Firewall provides
you with the highest level of protection from both internal and external threats. And it's free, for home
and business users, for the life of the product.

Comodo Personal Firewall is a powerful Internet security software that protects your computer from unwanted intrusion and warns you about possible dangers from Trojans, spyware and other malicious software. It has a large database of applications that are known to be safe and allowed to use the Internet. For other programs, the initial Learning mode allows you to teach Comodo Personal Firewall which ones should be allowed Internet access and which should not. The initial flurry of pop-ups is a bit irritating, but it's a feature of all personal firewall products, and unavoidable given that there are so many programs in use no product could possibly know about them all "out of the box."
Wizards assist with the initial configuration. The Scan for Known Applications wizard checks for the presence of common Internet applications like Skype and MSN Messenger and creates automatic rules to allow their messages through. The Trusted Network Zone wizard can automatically create a trusted zone for your local network so that shared folders and printers are accessible and Internet Connection Sharing continues to work.
Comodo Personal Firewall has a highly attractive user interface. Features include a Highlights pane, showing security-related messages from Comodo, a traffic monitor that will highlight Internet bandwidth hogs, and a security level control. A high degree of control is provided for setting up rules for different applications. This looks, and is, pretty complicated, but again it's par for the course. Most people won't ever need to use it, but experts can be reassured that it's there.
Comodo Personal Firewall employs several advanced techniques to protect your computer from malicious intrusion. Application Component Authentication means that all components of an application are validated before allowing it Internet access. Application Behavior Analysis detects Trojan- or virus-like activity and warns you if such programs try to connect to the Internet.
Included in the package is Comodo LaunchPad, a kind of command center for Comodo Personal Firewall and other Comodo security applications. A nice benefit of this is that, no matter how many Comodo applications are running, they only take up one icon in your system notification area.
What's the catch?
You might expect to pay $40 - $50 for the kind of protection this firewall provides, but Comodo is offering this product completely free. Why? Well, Comodo is the second largest certification authority for issuing identity trust and assurance certificates. It wants to become the household name that Internet users will instantly recognize and trust. What better way to achieve this than to get branded personal security products on to every computer?
Tech-Pro.net believes there is no catch. We like Comodo's customer-focused approach which includes forums where you can get information and help about the products and even discuss product developments with the company MD! We strongly elieve that every computer should have up-to-date security protection. As a Comodo Official Partner we are happy to recommend Comodo Personal Firewall for protection of your Internet-connected PC.
