Below are interview highlights:
COMODO FIREWALL PRO (NEW VERSION 3.0) AVAILABILITY

Carey Holzman: Welcome back to the show. Melih is with Comodo. When you were here last time you were speaking about Comodo firewall version 2.0?

Melih: Correct

Carey Holzman: And now?

Melih: And now it’s Version 3. It’s in beta now and it’s going to be released very soon.

Carey Holzman: So where shall we start.

Melih: Well let’s start with when its going to come out first.

Carey Holzman: Is it out yet?

Melih: It’s out in our forum as a BETA version. People can go download it and play with it.
WHY CURRENT APPROACH FROM OTHER VENDORS IS FLAWED

Carey Holzman: This new firewall would include HIPS. What does that mean if it is going to include HIPS?

Melih: The name of the game now is prevention not detection. Detection is dead -- long live prevention and that’s what we are going to talk about today.

Detection is good but now it is all about prevention. You know it’s like having a burglar alarm that only recognizes certain burglars. There is malware which we do not know about – and these unrecognized viruses go through without notice and that’s why we have a huge problem. The days of the anti virus, and the way we fight viruses are, well, gone and dead. We have to start preventing malware. There are 3 steps that one has to follow: Prevention, Detection and Cure. Just like you have a house with a door. The door prevents people from coming in and then you have the burglar alarm in case the door breaks down. Then, you have insurance if both fail. We need to start bringing that into computers. Today we only have a half working burglar alarm. That’s called the anti virus unfortunately.

Carey Holzman: Well, I like your analogy there.

Melih: I am looking at a site, VirusTotal, that reports on malware. In the last 24 hours, there has been 18,135 new malware and only 2 of them have been detected by at least one anti virus engine. So what happens to the rest – they get onto your computer without being detected. And that’s what we want to change.

Carey Holzman: Well I am glad to hear to that.
