January 31, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — IT security solutions provider Comodo (comodo.com) announced on Wednesday that its recently launched Comodo Firewall Pro v3.0 with A-VSMART technology is an effective protection tool against the growing threat of malware code on legitimate sites that could compromise end users.
According to a recent report by ComputerWorld, 51 percent of websites that were classified as malicious were actually legitimate sites that had been compromised with attack code that infects unsuspecting visitors. Comodo says this statistic demonstrates the significant new challenges online users have in staying safe online and that its firewall solution is an effective tool against these threats.
“We are empowering end users to be proactive in the protection of their PCs and we deliver this level of technology for free,” says Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and chief security architect of Comodo. “While an e-commerce site may have all the security in the world, some types of threats may bypass these solutions. With Comodo Firewall Pro end users can be confident that their machines are secure even if the site they are on may not be. That is a revolution in the way consumers can stay safe online and we are giving consumers this powerful technology for free so they protect themselves.”
Last week, Miva Merchant partnered with Comodo to offer SSL certificates to Miva Merchant’s eMerchant customer base.
