Comodo's service creates a shield around your laptop, desktop or handheld. This prevents criminals from attacking or scanning your system from the local network that you're using to connect to the Internet. It also encrypts all of your traffic destined for the Internet. Web site addresses, instant messaging, personal information, plain text usernames and passwords and other important information can be broadcast in the clear when using publicly accessible wireless Internet connections. Cyber criminals can easily intercept these broadcasts.
