Press Release Summary = On BreakfastBytes, a Popular NPR Show, Melih Abdulhayoglu,
CEO of Comodo, Describes How Consumers Can Keep their PCs Protected

Press Release Body = Jersey City, NJ (August 9, 2007) - Comodo, as a group of
Internet security companies, announced significant enhancements to their portfolio
of free desktop security and trust assurance solutions. The Comodo companies are
committed to transforming desktop security from a \"detection-based\" model to a
\"prevention-based\" model and have developed new technologies to encourage this
change.

In a recent interview with National Public Radio\'s (NPR) BreakfastBytes hosted by
Felicia King and Ray Koukari that aired on WGTD in Wisconsin (8/04/07), Melih
Abdulhayoglu CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo explained how recent
innovations in Comodo\'s desktop security solutions are changing the face of desktop
security. Unlike other security vendors, Comodo\'s approach uniquely identifies safe
applications rather than simply detecting and blocking harmful applications. This
approach employs a white list technology and only allows trusted applications access
to the PC.

This approach will evolve desktop security form a \"detection-based\" approach to a
\"prevention-based\" model. In describing Comodo\'s approach, Melih Abdulhayoglu
explained, \"The world of security has to change. It is no good to say - hey let
everyone else around the world get infected and we will protect ourselves. We have
to give security to everyone even people in countries where salaries are low [and
they] cannot afford to buy security packages for $50. We need to secure these
machines because each machine is a powerful tool with CPU and connectivity... that
can be used against us as bots. That\'s why we are doing what we are doing.\"

During the interview, Comodo outlined its strategy for upcoming releases of its free
desktop security software. Currently, over 350,000 new users are downloading Comodo
Desktop Security solutions every month.
