12. Functions in Comodo Firewall 10
Firewall provides vital protection to keep your
Windows PC protected from illegitimate access
With a broadband connection always turned on,
Firewall treats the possible risk well in advance.
As such Firewall cannot remove malware from
the system – However it is integrated with other
security application like antivirus to gain holistic
resistance against malware attacks.

Functions
14. Features in Comodo Firewall 10
Block All Mode
• This mode defies the system to access
any networks and does not create traffic
rules for any applications. The Block All
Mode does not let the user/administrator
create traffic rules for any applications or
network including the internet.
15. Safe Mode (Default)
• With the safe mode on, the firewall
instantly generates rules to permit traffic of
the applications that are labelled SAFE by
Comodo. Users are alerted, when any
other application that is new and that are
not marked SAFE, when it tries to access
the network. The users are given an
option to either select it as a Trusted
Application or Untrusted Application during
the alert.
16. Training Mode
• When the user/administrator chooses
Training Mode, there will not be any rules,
for the firewall to restrict any applications
entry until the security level is balanced.
The user must be sure that the
applications that are installed are allowed
to access the right networks.

21. Features in Windows Firewall
• Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security is an
important part of a layered security model.
• By providing host-based, two-way network traffic filtering
for a device, Windows Defender Firewall blocks
unauthorized network traffic flowing into or out of the
local device.
• Windows Defender Firewall also works with Network
Awareness so that it can apply security settings
appropriate to the types of networks to which the device
is connected.
Featues
22. • Windows Defender Firewall and Internet
Protocol Security (IPsec) configuration
settings are integrated into a single
Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
named Windows Defender Firewall, so
Windows Defender Firewall is also an
important part of your network’s isolation
strategy.
