Comodo adds VPN, attacks competitors
20.05.12
An on-demand Virtual Private Network and a better "quick scan" take their bows in Comodo Internet Security 5.9 (download) , released today. Along with the new features, a Comodo Security Solutions spokesman had some tough words for the competition.
Comodo Internet Security 5.9, which despite following the security industry naming convention for paid suites is actually the name of Comodo's free suite, now supports the company's TrustConnect VPN service. TrustConnect uses 128-bit encryption to provide addition Wi-Fi protection, although it doesn't anonymize your traffic like Hotspot Shield does. The TrustConnect integration will automatically detect unsecure Wi-Fi networks and offer to activate the VPN.
The inclusion of support for TrustConnect in Comodo Internet Security does not make the VPN free. Users can pay for the tunnel access on demand, starting at $3.99 for a 24-hour pass, a monthly unlimited subscription for $8.99 a month, or a yearly unlimited subscription for $99.95.
