TrustConnect Wi-Fi Security

Why do you need TrustConnect for Wi-Fi security?

You would never intentionally provide a criminal with personal and private information. They would probably take this information and use it to take whatever they could from you.

TrustConnect Wi-Fi network security keeps you and your information private, secure, and out of the hands of criminals during an online session. Wherever you are located, whatever type of hardware, using a public Wi-Fi connection or not, TrustConnect's wireless internet security software keeps users securely connected and any identity information private. No one can intercept or steal any information sent or received during online sessions. They can't even determine where the information is coming from.

TrustConnect is a part of Comodo Internet Security Complete 2012, which gives you the most robust defense and includes other components like our award winning Firewall, Antivirus, and live 24/7 expert assistance for numerous computing needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a software for wireless internet security like TrustConnect?

If you're using Wi-Fi public hotspots, then all information sent of the Internet is in a readable, plain text format that cyber criminals can sniff. Sniffable wireless networks are fairly common - scary but true.

What is a Sniffer?

Typically, a computer will only receive traffic aimed at its TCP/IP address. Sniffer software allows a computer to record traffic headed to (and from) every computer on the local network.

What Operating Systems does TrustConnect support?

TrustConnect will work on Windows XP and Vista, Mac OS X, all versions of Linux that have kernel 2.4 and greater, FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

Do I have to use a wireless connection to use TrustConnect?

No. Some networks, even if they are hard-wired and not wireless, don't have secure connections. Feel free to use TrustConnect even from a wired connection to encrypt the session or hide your destination.

I have a Wi-Fi at home with WEP turned on. Am I safe?

No. Cyber criminals can break WEP encryption with easy-to-acquire tools that are available on the Internet. For complete protection from cyber criminals, check out Comodo Internet Security Complete 2012.

I'm a cyber criminal, and I'd like to use this service to do all of my dirty work: breaking into others' personal information, stealing credit cards, sending SPAM and breaking other laws.
