Press Release Summary: Testmypcsecurity.com has become a respected \"Virtual Security
Community Watch Group\" that is reflective of a diverse set of testers who better
represent real world environments

Press Release Body: Jersey City, NJ (April 09, 2008) - Comodo, a leading security
company, announced today that the recent launch of Testmypcsecurity.com has ignited
a new model in security that is, in effect, acting as a \"Virtual Security Community
Watch Group\", helping community members with issues and questions about computer
security. Importantly this site, which will house one of the largest collections of
computer security tests, provides an independent presentation of test results from a
diverse set of community testers. Its credibility is driven by the fact that all
information is gathered and created by the users, for the users and does not promote
any specific commercial interest whatsoever. Comodo provides the infrastructure for
the site but in no way affects the information represented.

Testmypcsecurity.com was launched as a new website to address an emerging concern in
the security industry - the lack of an independent testing resource that gathers all
of the tests and testers needed to objectively assess the effectiveness of PC
security solutions. Existing testing sites provide a limited number of tests with
information that is often dated and reflective a very limited set of testers. The
appeal of Testmypcsecurity.com is that it provides a broad array of computer
security tests, including firewall leak and Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS)
tests that all community members can use for testing purposes. The tests were
created as a safe way for users of all abilities to determine the effectiveness of
their security software at preventing viruses from damaging a computer system. This
approach permits a broader set of testers that can post their results for all
community members to see and is likely to be more representative of the \"real
world\". Further, results are posted almost immediately and are more current than
many other testing sites that delay posting results for weeks or even months at a
time. The site been highly successful at attracting a wide variety of testers and
the site actively encourages site visitors to join the community as testers.

Testmypcsecurity.com 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.

\"Testmypcsecurity.com creates a new type of community - a virtual community of like
minded people concerned with creating better desktop security for all.\" said Melih
Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. \"The power of a community
to test security software and help other community members stay safe represents the
new way forward in online security. This type of community can only operate
effectively if the environment is independent of commercial interests. That\'s what
we created with Testmypcsecurity.com and it\'s why the site has exceeded our
expectations in terms of impact and influence within the security industry.\"
