Press Release Summary = Comodo Firewall has been rated as the top firewall product
in a recent independent test of the security capabilities of major personal
firewalls

Press Release Body = Jersey City, NJ (Dec 4, 2006) - Comodo, a leading provider of
Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions, today announced that Comodo
Firewall 2.3 has been rated as the top firewall product in a recent independent test
of the security capabilities of major personal firewalls. The analysis, conducted by
security specialists Matousec, tested 21 of the most popular firewall programs
available (including paid versions from Norton, Zone Alarm and McAfee) with an array
of leak testing programs to determine which product provided the best protection.
The results confirm that Comodo Firewall 2.3 is the most secure personal firewall
solution in the marketplace. Comodo Personal Firewall 2.3 is currently available
with a free license. This highly rated security product is designed to be easy to
use \"out of the box\".

Since its launch earlier this year, Comodo Firewall has continued to gain acclaim
from the media and the public alike, garnering PC Magazine's 'Editor's Choice'
recommendation (September 2006). It features both inbound and outbound packet
filtering in combination with robust outbound application filtering at the network
layer and allows fast and easy access to all major settings through a streamlined
user interface.

Testing Summary

Matousec (http://www.matousec.com) is an independent Internet security research
company created by a group of software security experts with the stated goal of
improving end-user security through its security related projects and research.
Matousec's testing required that each firewall be tested twice against 26 of the
most exacting firewall 'leak test' programs available, including 3 that Matousec
developed especially for this survey. Leak test programs are non-destructive
simulations of the attack techniques typically used by spyware and other hacker
programs to deliberately attempt to bypass a firewall\'s outgoing security measures
to identify a firewall\'s security flaws.

Matousec (www.matousec.com) tested each firewall once with the default,
'out-of-the-box' settings, and then once with the product's highest security
settings. Each firewall was then awarded an overall score derived from its pass/fail
results against each test. The higher the score, the better the firewall performed
against the range of leak tests. Although no single product passed every single leak
test, Comodo came out on top of the list with a score of 9350 out of a maximum 9625.
