Frequent Questions
What makes Internet Security better than my current Antivirus and Firewall combo? Internet Security is a security suite plus. More than just an antivirus program, it also includes an award-winning firewall, host intrusion prevention, a sandbox for untrusted software, anti-malware and buffer overflow protection to deliver comprehensive protection against today's diverse range of threats. What makes Comodo's Internet Security product different from the others? It's simple: prevention-based, Default Deny Protection. It works by only allowing trusted files to run on your system. Files that are not trusted are run inside the new sandbox What is the sandbox and how does it protect me? The sandbox is a virtual operating environment created within your computer for unknown and untrusted programs. Internet Security automatically runs untrusted programs in the sandbox where they cannot make changes to processes, programs or data on your 'real' system. This protection goes well beyond traditional Antivirus software by ensuring any brand new viruses are completely isolated and cannot cause damage. Will programs run OK in the Sandbox? Yes. Applications in the sandbox are run under a carefully selected set of privileges and will write to a virtual file system and registry instead of the real system. This means untrusted (but harmless) applications have the freedom to operate as usual while malicious programs are prevented from accessing or infecting your computer. This provides smoothest and most secure user experience possible. Do programs stay in the Sandbox forever? No – the sandbox is the first part of a trust decision engine. After an unknown application has been placed in the sandbox, Internet Security will also automatically queue it for submission to Comodo labs where it will be analyzed by our technicians. If it is found to be harmless then it will be added to the global safe list that will be downloaded by all Internet Security users in the next round of updates. Once it is added to the safe list, the application will no longer be run in the sandbox by Internet Security. If it is found to be malicious then it will be added to Comodo's list of malware signatures and will be deleted after the next round of updates. Is it free for business users too? Yes. However, enterprises looking to implement Internet Security on large networks of workstations would benefit from the centralized management capabilities of Comodo Endpoint Security Manager (CESM). Can I install only the Firewall or only the Antivirus? Yes – you are given the option to install exactly the components you want during setup. What's the difference between the free version and the Plus/Pro versions? All Internet Security products are identical in terms of software but with the Plus and Pro versions you get additional services:

Comodo Internet Security Plus 2012 includes:

• LivePCSupport – Limited Version. Virus Diagnosis and Removal Service. Includes scanning and removal of virus and spyware from your computer for an unlimited number of incidents on 3 home or work PC's.

Comodo Internet Security Pro 2012 includes:

• LivePCSupport – (Full version) Includes the Virus Diagnosis and Removal Service plus General PC Troubleshooting, PC Tune Up and Optimization, Internet Login Protection, Email Account Setup, Software Installation, Printer Setup/Troubleshooting
  
• Virus Free Guarantee - If your computer becomes damaged as a result of malware and Comodo support services cannot return it to a working condition then we’ll pay the costs of getting it repaired Comodo's Virus-Free Guarantee covers your PC up to $500 for damage costs that could occur as a result of malware. You get Security Software plus peace of mind

What happens if my PC is infected by a virus? Should your PC get infected by a virus, you are urged to contact us right away. You can do so by chatting with a live support representative in your software console or by contacting customer service. Our experts will troubleshoot the issue and rid your PC of viruses in the unlikely event that it gets infected. See the End User License Agreement for complete details What is TrustConnect? How does it work? TrustConnect is a secure Internet proxy service that encrypts all data a PC transmits over wireless connections, preventing hackers from accessing the connection and stealing personal and private information. And how does LivePCSupport work? Is it like traditional tech support? After activating a subscription, click on the desktop icon and a chat window will open. Tell a Comodo tech expert what you need help with, then just sit back and watch. It's better than traditional tech support since it's 24/7 and unlimited! The truth is, our antivirus and firewall software keeps a PC so secure that you'll find yourself needing live support much less than if using another security suite. We pass those savings right back to you! Can I try the Plus or Pro version before I buy? Yes - we offer a free 30-day trial of Comodo Internet Security Pro which provides full access to the software. Check it out, and see how Comodo Internet Security Plus 2012 or Pro 2012 (including GeekBuddy) improves your PC's performance and security.

COMODO Rescue Disk 2.0 combats even deeply embedded malware

• By Mike Williams

COMODO has released COMODO Rescue Disk 2.0, a bootable environment which includes a copy of Cleaning Essentials for Linux to help remove even the most deeply embedded malware.

Changes from the previous 1.x betas are fairly basic, and for instance include some bug fixes and the inclusion of the very latest COMODO Antivirus Engine for Linux (1.2.3). Otherwise the package remains a capable rescue disc which is worth considering for your emergency toolkit.

The system is relatively lightweight, for instance, coming in the form of a 50MB ISO image.

And it’s focused very much on ease of use. There are no technicalities here: the system boots directly to COMODO Cleaning Essentials and you’re able to fire off a full scan of your system in just a couple of clicks.

If you’re willing to go a little further, though, the Rescue Disk provides extra tools which can help.

Are you having problems reaching the internet, for instance? Click the icon of two monitors top-right and you’re able to view and reconfigure your network settings via SliTaz Network Manager.

COMODO Cleaning Essentials itself can manually import a virus update, if you’re able to download the file elsewhere (click Tools > Import Signature Database from within the program).

And if you click the Applications button top-left you’ll find links to a file manager, and a web browser (very useful if you need more help in solving your problem). All of which are very usable, even if you’re a total Linux newbie.

COMODO Rescue Disk 2.0 isn’t just a single function tool, then. And if you find your PC is no longer booting properly then it just might prove a useful addition to your system.

Rescue Disk 2.0



Operating Systems: Linux, Windows 2000, Windows 7 (32 bit), Windows 7 (64 bit), Windows 8, Windows Server, Windows Vista (32 bit), Windows Vista (64 bit), Windows XP
