Comodo Inc, a provider of identity and trust assurance management solutions today announced the release of Comodo Personal Firewall.

According to the company, it is the only personal firewall which provides a full parent application control in its rules. This feature helps to detect illegal usages of allowed applications such as the case when a malicious trojan application is using IE to connect to the Internet to transmit confidential user information. Technologies include advanced TCP/IP filtering, IP fragmentation handling, denial of service resistance and a full application based traffic filtering layer. The firewall offers home users protection against hackers, trojan horse programs, keyloggers and other internet borne threats.

"As leaders in the online security and identity assurance market, we recognize that one of the roots of the explosion in online fraud lies with the vulnerability of home users. As an industry we must take responsibility to empower such users with tools that enable them to proactively fight back against the threats they face. Our personal firewall is powerful enough to be integrated into the toughest of layered network security architectures yet easy enough for even a novice to figure out," said Melih Abdulhayoglu, President and CEO, Comodo Inc.
