Comodo TV – Taking Security Awareness to Another Level

Hearing it through the ‘‘grapevine” might be ok, when you want to hear the latest neighborhood, or office gossip. The problem with the “grapevine’, as we all know though, is the facts tend to get distorted and twisted.

Listening to “grapevine” type news on Internet threats, or computer system tweaks, or listening to advice from Uncle Joe (who heard it from his buddy Steve, who’s an “expert” with computers), is almost sure to lead to unsatisfactory results. Just like the neighborhood/office “grapevine”, information from these sources tends to get distorted and twisted.

I’m a big fan of companies that do their utmost to educate users on Internet security related issues, or who offer advice on system related issues so that computer users don’t have to rely on second hand information.

In some cases, these same companies are well known for providing free security applications, which are often supplemented by additional system applications.

Comodo Group, the developers of a number of very well known free applications including, Comodo Antivirus, Comodo Firewall, Comodo Time Machine, System Cleaner, Comodo BackUp, and you may be surprised to learn, many, many more, is now offering a series of instructional and informative videos that are extremely interesting, persuasive, and in some cases, rather humorous (not a bad thing when all is considered).

Watching these informative videos, will definitely help an average user increase Internet security awareness, as well as gaining answers to some very common system issues.

The Comodo TV site, is broken down very neatly into the following areas:

ComodoVision - Covers Internet trust and security news, solutions and important developments.

Solution Spotlight - Profiles the features and benefits of specific Comodo products and services.

Smart Strategies – Examines major Internet trust and security challenges and what to do about them.
