Comodo Reveals New Website for Internet Safety
Comodo, a leading security company, has announced the launch of a new website that will house one of the largest collections of computer security tests anywhere. These tests include a combination of widely
available firewall leak and Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) tests in addition to proprietary firewall tests from Comodo. The tests were created as safe way for users of all abilities to determine the effectiveness of their security software at eliminating vulnerabilities that could leave their computer system susceptible to identity-stealing malware. Users can determine their risk of being victimized from stolen identities, corrupted data, crashing computers, and other problems.
Created as part of its Trusted Internet initiative, the site provides
means to objectively determine how effective a PC's security system is at protecting sensitive information from hackers, fraudsters, and malware, said the company. These tests can be downloaded and run individually, or they can be downloaded as an entire suite in one operation.
The site was designed to be both a testing and education resource for users and includes:
- Detailed and technical explanations about firewall leak tests and HIPS testing,
- Downloads of individual and batch security individual tests,
- Information on other people's test results and comments, and
- The ability to become part of the Test My PC Security testing community
