Comodo Internet Security – Free Version

Why Use Comodo Internet Security?

Comodo Internet Security is the free, multi-layered security application that keeps hackers out and personal information in.

Built from the ground upwards with your security in mind, CIS offers 360° protection by combining powerful Antivirus protection, an enterprise class packet filtering firewall, and an advanced host intrusion prevention system called Defense+.

Unlike the stripped down versions of commercial software that other software vendors offer for free, this is the full, completely functional version of the product.

Alternatively, users can upgrade to CIS Pro for just $49 per year and receive two additional services—LivePCSupport (Total Security & Support Package)—a 24 hour per day, unlimited incident support services package which usually markets for $99 per year and TrustConnect - a secure Internet proxy service that ensures 128 bit encrypted connectivity from any public wireless hot-spot.

CIS Includes:

• Firewall: Slam the door shut on hackers and identity thieves.
• Antivirus: Track down and destroy any existing malware hiding in a PC.
• Defense+: Protects critical system files and blocks malware before it installs.
• Memory Firewall: Cutting-edge protection against sophisticated buffer overflow attacks.
• Anti-Malware Kills malicious processes before they can do harm.

Frequent Questions

What makes CIS better than my current Antivirus and Firewall combo?

CIS is a security suite plus. More than just an antivirus program, it also includes an award-winning firewall, host intrusion prevention, anti-malware system 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 letting in PC files it knows are not malicious.

Will the Firewall let me execute a program it doesn't recognize?

Sure! Just tell our Firewall the program is okay to run. The Firewall will remember selected answers, so when you download or run the same program our firewall won't ask you again.

Is it free for business users too?

Yes. However, enterprises looking to implement CIS 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 only the components you want during setup.

What's the difference between the free version and the pro version?

The two products are identical in terms of software but with the Pro version you get two additional services – TrustConnect total Wi-Fi protection and LivePCSupport – your own personal, real-life technology expert who solves PC problems for you over remote desktop connection.

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 Pro version before I buy?

Yes - we offer a free 30-day trial which provides full access to our LivePCSupport operatives and full TrustConnect connectivity. Check it out, and see how CIS Pro (including LivePCSupport) improves your PC's performance and security
