| Comodo Releases Internet Security Manager 2011 Comodo announces the release of its Internet Security Manager 2011 software. Comodo Internet Security 2011 (CIS 2011) offers unparalleled malware prevention together with powerful central administration features for businesses with dozens to thousands of PCs. New in version 2011 are behavior analytics and fully integrated cloud scanning. Comodo Internet Security Complete 2011 guarantees protection of PCs against viruses and malware through Comodo's patent pending Default Deny Protection. This system uses a combination of firewall, antivirus, host intrusion prevention, automatic sandboxing and behavior analysis to create an impenetrable shield that identifies safe, unsafe and questionable files. Also included in the Complete version is livePCsupport, allowing users to instantly contact a human support technician whenever they require assistance with a computer problem. Uniquely, Comodo guarantee that their product will deliver on their promises by providing each customer with a $500 warranty to pay for repair costs should their PC become infected while under the protection of CIS 2011. Businesses of all sizes are increasingly targeted by hackers, with a disturbing trend of attacks directed at specific personnel or groups, such as corporate finance staff with access to electronic banking systems. Starting in mid 2009, small businesses, local governments, educational institutions and not-for-profit organizations began reporting staggering financial losses due to malware attacks. These mounting losses are due in part to weaknesses in conventional PC security solutions that have long relied on a "blacklisting" approach that blocks only known threats from executing. Because most threats are unknown at the initial point of contact, they are unlikely to be blocked by conventional security software. Coupled with the fact that many users do not keep their computers or security software regularly updated, it's no surprise that businesses continue to encounter financial loss and other problems stemming from malware infection. New in Comodo Internet Security 2011: - Application Whitelisting. CIS 2011 provides a usable application white list control. - Spyware Scanner and Improved Malware Cleaning. CIS 2011 adds to the formidable arsenal of protection technologies offered by its predecessors by providing a new spyware scanner which is capable of scanning the windows registry and file system. - Cloud Based Antivirus Scanning. CIS 2011 has integrated cloud based scanning throughout its entire architecture. From on-demand scanning to process execution control, it checks if the file is known in the cloud. - Cloud Based Behavior Analysis. Apart from being run in a local sandbox, untrusted files are now simultaneously uploaded to Comodo's Instant Malware Analysis servers where they are subjected to a rigourous, automated, behavior analysis test. This new system greatly improves the ability of CIS 2011to detect zero day threats. - Game Mode. Game mode can be activated within couple of mouse clicks and allows users to play games without fear of interruption from CIS. While active, all CIS alerts will be suppressed and virus database updates and scheduled tasks will be postponed. - Improved New User Interface. CIS 2011 also sports an eye catching new design which is friendlier and easier to use than ever before. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Computing News :: home page |
