Comodo Firewall Pro is constantly evolving. Each new release sees the addition of more sophisticated features designed to improve your security and user experience
What's new in Comodo's Firewall:
New in version 3.0
New!! Clean PC Mode
This is PATENT-PENDING feature takes a profile of a new PC and all the applications in it and registers them as safe. Then, any new application trying to gain access to a computer will be denied access to the PC unless the user expressly permits it since it is assumed to be potentially unsafe. This feature prevents most types of malware and rootkits from getting installed and keeps a new PC virus and malware free.
New!! Defense+ Host Intrusion Prevention System
Defense+ is one of the most advanced Host Intrusion Prevention Systems available in any desktop security program. This new addition helps to secure desktops and servers against rootkits, inter-process memory injections, key-loggers and more. Leveraging Comodo's safe-list database of nearly 1,000,000 trusted executable files, Defense+ can block malware and viruses before they ever get a chance to install on your system.
Improved!! Advanced Network Firewall Engine
Comodo Firewall Pro has always offered the highest levels of perimeter security against inbound and outbound threats - meaning you get the strongest possible protection against hackers, malware and identity thieves. Now we've improved it again by adding new features such as Stealth Mode to make your PC completely invisible to opportunistic port scans; Wizard based auto-detection of trusted zones; Password protection of firewall settings; Diagnostics to analyze your system for potential conflicts with the firewall and much more.
Improved!! Security rules interface
Version 3.0 gives offers more control over security settings than ever before. Users can quickly set granular internet access rights and privileges on a global or per application basis using the flexible and easy to understand GUI. This version also sees the introduction of pre-set security policies which allow you to deploy a sophisticated hierarchy of firewall rules with a couple of mouse clicks.
Improved!! Graphical User Interface
We've completely redesigned the look and feel of Comodo Firewall to make it even easier for you to do what you need to do. The default summary screen gives you an immediate heads-up on all vital security settings and provides a central point of navigation to every part of the application. We've also built in context sensitive help throughout the program so you'll never be far from advice if you run into difficulties.
Improved!! Pop-Up Alerts
Whenever the firewall detects a potential threat, you are immediately informed with a pop-up alert. Each alert includes a Security Considerations section which provides clear advice on whether you should allow or block a process.
New!! Training Mode
Comodo Firewall Pro version 3.0 won't needlessly stop your workflow with alerts for applications you obviously want to trust. By selecting 'Train with Safe Mode', the firewall will learn how your trusted applications work and silently create rules for them.
New!! Application Recognition Database
Comodo Firewall Pro now includes a proprietary and continually updated white list of nearly 1,000,000 safe executables. The integrity of every executable is checked against this database to determine whether or not it is genuine before it allows it installation rights. Firewall Pro will alert users of potentially damaging applications before they are installed. In many cases, this proactive approach averts damage from viruses or root-kits that are not known to anti-virus software.
Improved!! Event logging
Version 3.0 features a vastly improved log management module - allowing users to export records of firewall activity according to several user-defined filters. Beginners and advanced users alike will greatly benefit from this essential troubleshooting feature.

Application Behavior Analysis
Comodo Firewall Pro analyses each application's behavior and detects any suspicious activity before allowing internet access. This powerful new feature enables it to detect more Trojan activity than any other firewall - including:
DLL/Code injections
Hidden Connection Attempts
CFP 3.0 also features advanced protocol driver level protection - essential for the defense of your PC against Trojans that run their own protocol drivers.
The Firewall That Learns
New 'Training Mode' enables the firewall and host intrusion prevention systems to automatically create 'allow' rules for new components of applications you have decided to trust. In short - you won't receive pointless alerts for those programs you trust - the firewall will learn how they work and only warn you when it detects truly suspicious behavior.
Windows Security Center Integration
Comodo Personal Firewall 3.0 is fully recognized by Windows Vista/XP Security Center as a trusted personal firewall.
Self Protection against Critical Process Termination
After breaking into your house, the first thing a burglar does is try to switch off your alarm. Similarly, viruses and Trojans often try to disable your computer's security applications so they can operate without detection. Comodo Firewall Pro protects its own registry entries, system files and processes so malware can never shut it down or sabotage the installation.
Application Recognition Database
Comodo Firewall Pro includes a proprietary and continually updated white list of 1,000,000 safe executables. The integrity of every executable is checked against this database and Firewall Pro will alert users of potentially damaging applications before they are installed. In many cases, this proactive approach averts damage from viruses or root-kits that are not known to anti-virus software.
Automatic Updates
Comodo Firewall Pro automatically downloads updates every time you start your computer - making sure you are 100% protected at all times. Updates can also be scheduled according to your preferences or can be manually downloaded with a single click.
Submit Suspicious Files to Comodo
Are you the first victim of a brand new type of spyware? Users can help combat zero-hour threats by using the built in submit feature to send files to Comodo for analysis. Comodo will then analyze the files for any potential threats and update our database for all users.
Firewall Event Logging
Version 3.0 features a vastly improved log management module - allowing users to export records of firewall activity according to several user-defined filters. Beginners and advanced users alike will greatly benefit from this essential troubleshooting feature.
