Comodo Launches 'Test My PC Security

Testing resource is part of company's trusted internet initiative to secure PCs for free for all online users.Comodo, an Internet security company, announced the launch of a new website that will house one of the largest collections of computer security tests anywhere. The company claims that these tests include a combination of widely available firewall leak and Host Intrusion Prevention System tests in addition to proprietary firewall tests from them. It further adds that these 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. The company articulated that as user dependence on the Internet continues to increase, it has created the 'Test My PC Security' site as part of its trusted internet initiative to meet people's need to ensure safe and secure online business and communication. The site provides a unique means to objectively determine how effective a PC's security system is at protecting sensitive information from hackers, fraudsters, and malware."Users depend on the Internet more and more, and they need to know that the Internet can be trusted with their most personal and sensitive information." said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. "It is important that we provide the tools for users to test their current security system along with solutions that allow them to protect themselves better. We offer these testing tools and our desktop security software for free because it is part of how we intend to create a trusted Internet where users and online organizations can interact securely and with reciprocal identity verification."
