CEO/Founder

Welcome
I am Melih Abdulhayoglu, founder of Comodo. But it's my blog's viewpoint that is important. I believe human achievement can't be optimized until its central communications engine, the Internet, is a trusted environment. My mission is to help lead the effort to achieve this trust.

Enough is enough! Time for accountability for the Desktop Security industry!

Enough is enough! Well over 20 years the industry has been selling solution to a problem, that seems to have gotten worse!

Thats like selling headache pills and your headache gets worse! Something is wrong with that picture!

When you get your haircut, you don’t then go home and finish it off yourself! Thats why you pay the hairdresser!

When you go to a restaurant, you don’t go and cook with the chef! (even though I have been to a few in my time, where I wished I had :) )

You get the gist!…Enough is enough for paying for desktop protection where I am not guaranteed protection nor offered a remediation when I need it!

So what do I pay for? Partial security?

 The truth is yes! Unaccountable, partial security is what you get!

 Enough is enough!!! NO MORE

Today, 4th February 2008, is the day Comodo puts accountability in the dictionary of Desktop Security Vendors!

-> First time ever, You getting infected with malware will cost the Security vendor money!

-> First time ever, You never have to deal with malware!

-> First time ever, A security vendor will put itself between you and the malware!

-> First time ever, A security vendor will give you a peace of mind from malware!

-> First time ever, A security vendor will put themselves Accountable for your Protection!

Its been far too long, but enough is enough! Now with Comodo AVSMART Warranty users will get total peace of mind and protection!

We are the first desktop security company who has put itself between its users and malware. what that means is we are the only company whereby if you get infected it will cost us money, unlike other security vendors! We are like the insurance company rather than a drug company where it is not in our interest for you to be sick because it will cost us money!

 This is the revolution long overdue! This is the revolution you the endusers deserve!

Enough  is enough. End users deserve accountability!!!! Security industry can only smile at endusers’s face while taking their money and in return provide no accountability!

 IT STOPS TODAY, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!

Thank you

Melih

Enduser: Why is my computer slow? Is it because  the Hard Disk getting old?

Wisevoice: NO!!

Enduser: Why does my computer keep connecting to Internet without me asking?

Wisevoice :( hey, Melih, pls… stop using me for these kind of silly talking points!!! pls use some other name than mine)..

Melih: ok, ok Wisevoice.. chill will you..

Wisevoice1: (Melih.. thats not very original is it now!!!)..

Melih: oh bug it!!

WV (:)) : because you have a malware on your machine!!!!

Enduser: urgh?

Enduser: But what did i do?

WV: remember you visited that adult site that offered you free pics no questions asked?

Enduser: yeah

WV: remember it wanted you to download a viewer so that you can view things better?

Enduser: yeah

WV: remember you pressed YES and installed it

Enduser: yeah…..so?

WV: That is it!!! Melih, I resign!!!!

Melih: Come on WV, thats customer care… not everyone knows as much as you and I do. There are many areas we both don’t know that others do, so be patient pls, I know you are good, wise and patient come on WV. Enduser needs help.. pls help him..

WV: ok, ok… but you owe me a beer for this!!!

Melih: deal!

WV: well when you pressed YES to install that “viewer” you practically installed a malware on your system. Of course there are many other ways they could have installed that malware on your machine but knowing you, they chose the easiest method :)

Enduser: yeah but I paid $$$ for this AV protection…

WV: sure, whatever….

Enduser: *picks up the phone and dials 1800RingSalesman*

Phone: Ring! Ring!

Phone (again): Ring! Ring!

Someone: Si…

Enduser: Hi, I just purchased this AV protection from you and I got infected

Someone: Qué?

Enduser: hello, is that salesman?

Someone: No senior, this is Xaviar!

Enduser: damn!! *puts the phone down*

Enduser: *picks up the phone and dials 1800RingSalesman*

Phone: Ring! Ring!

Phone (again): Ring! Ring!

Salesman: Hello, NoVirus Inc, how can I help?

Enduser: ehm.. yes, thank you.. I purchased your product 3 months ago, I was very pleased with it but I now have a malware :( Can you pls clean it for me?

Salesman: we only sell you a subscription service to update our product sir! We don’t clean your pc if you get infected by malware!

**Melih butting in: Go ahead and visit this URL http://winnow.oitc.com/malewarestats.php  to see the detection ratio of products we all pay $billions for!! Average is less than 50%.. which means 50% of the new malware will hit us without us knowing about it! Whether you pay for AV or not**

Enduser: So what you are saying is: I pay you $$ you fail to catch 50% of the new malware and when I get infected you offer me no recourse!!?

Salesman: Pretty much sir!

WV: what did you expect Enduser?

Enduser:  Well, I certainly did not expect to pay for a service that will fail me WV!

WV: welcome to the world of AV protection, this is how its done!

Enduser: I now see it WV, But I want for my money, a service where I never have to deal with malware ever again! I want to have piece of mind where I never have to deal with it!

**Melih butting in**

TA DAAAAA….. Allow me Introduce Comodo A-VSMART WARRANTY :)

Hey Enduser, here is a service where you can pay similar amount of $$ but Comodo will take the responsibility of failure on your behalf!

WV: What Melih means is, you pay him $$, you get infected, then he will clean it up, so you never have to deal with malware ever again! The reason why he can do that is because he has this funky product that prevents malware getting into your machine in the first place! Of course nothing is 100% when it comes to security, but his product called Comodo V3 Firewall A-VSMART (patent pending) allows him to able to that.

Enduser: Interesting, so I buy this service and if I get infected you clean my machine?

WV: isn’t that what i just said???

Melih: yes!

Melih: Now you can tick off malware from your list of worries!!!

Come and checkout… the evolution of Desktop Security!
