Today, consumers spend over $5 Billion on anti-virus and/ or firewall solutions tokeep computers safe from viruses, malware and Trojans. Most other anti-virussolutions operate on a detection-based model - allowing all applications access to acomputer to then be evaluated based on their "signature". This model is especiallyflawed in protecting PCs from Zero Day attacks - attacks from new viruses, spyware,and trojans that do not have an identifying "signature". Therefore, while securitycompanies sell AV or security solutions for $40 or more that fail at least 50% ofthe time, (according to Australian Computer Emergency Response Team - AusCERT) andthen charge again about $100 "per incident" to have their systems cleaned, the netresult is that end users can spend hundreds per year to maintain a clean PC.
Comodo's revolutionary approach using A-VSMART technology includes Comodo's freeFirewall Pro with A-VSMART technology platform to protect PCs from malware over 90%of the time and A-VSMART Warranty freeing users from worrying about the time, cost,frustration, and risk of ever dealing with a malware-infected PC again.
