Comodo
puts an end to SPAM with a Free tool [May 18,
2005]
New
Jersey 18th May 2005 Comodo, the online security specialists,
today announced the release of Comodo AntiSpam Desktop
2005. Free to install and use, AntiSpam 2005 employs
a unique authentication technology to thwart spammers.
The application also forms another component in Comodo’s
expanding portfolio of state of the art consumer protection
technologies which are provided to end users at no cost.
Comodo
AntiSpam is based around a highly effective challenge-response
system - an active filtering algorithm that requires
the sender of each message to validate themselves before
they can be accepted onto a user’s authorized
senders list. Each ‘challenge’ email contains
a non-machine readable graphic of the user’s antispam
passcode that must be read, understood and typed into
the body of the ‘response’ email –
a system that automated spam bots cannot easily circumvent.
Melih Abdulhayoglu, President and CEO
Comodo, believes that eradicating junk mail is an essential
part of maintaining consumer confidence in e-commerce:
“Spam provides the most popular vehicle for a
range of privacy and security attacks, including phishing
scams, adware, Trojans and viruses. Comodo has declared
war on these threats. We are committed to an ongoing
program of providing security tools to end-users. Our
range includes Verification Engine, TrustToolBar, free
Email certificates and now, AntiSpam – and more
will be arriving shortly.”
Comodo AntiSpam supports all major mail
clients, protects multiple email accounts and features
a proactive spam reporting facility. The easy to use
interface provides
fast, centralised access to quarantined
mails, authentication lists and mail server settings.
Furthermore, Server Synchronisation enables users to
automatically transfer their antispam policies to whichever
machine they are seated at.
“Apart from being invasive and
time consuming, junk mail has become one of the most
lucrative business models for today’s cyber- criminals.
The only way we will ever
beat the fraudsters is through vendor
provisioning of client side security software and collateral
to the consumer. Comodo is proud to be at the vanguard
of this movement.”
Comodo AntiSpam is 100% free to install
and use.
