CollaborateMD to Introduce Central Business Intelligence Feature to Cloud Software on January 14

New CBI Feature Gives Medical Practices and Billing Services Total Control Over Reporting Creation and Customization

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CollaborateMD (CMD), a leading provider of easy and affordable cloud Medical Billing Software and Practice Management Software announced today the release date of version 8.5 for January 14, 2013, which contains an innovative and proprietary Central Business Intelligence (CBI) feature within the software. CollaborateMD's innovative CBI feature, uncommon in most medical office software solutions, provides users with the ability to easily create custom reports to better manage their daily operations, work less, and get paid fast. Typically, medical practice and medical billing services are required to purchase or use a separate reporting engine to create their own comprehensive reports.

The CBI feature allows full customization and creation of reports by users and is a step above what most cloud based medical billing software programs provide for reporting.  Before CBI, users were limited on customizing reports and only at run-time. With version 8.5's elegant customization and valuable creation of reports, users now have access to the information they need right at their fingertips. 

"Allowing users to create and modify their own reports provides individual customization for each user, without sacrificing the needs and wants of other users," stated Douglas Kegler, CEO and Founder of CollaborateMD.

The CBI Report Builder allows users to copy any of the current 100 report templates or create new reports from scratch.  The Report Builder has the ease of drag-and-drop fields, filters, grouping, and charting.  It provides the user with the capability to modify report templates on their own, allowing them to visualize, analyze, and report on their data in minutes. Even non-technical users can become experts in building reports to visualize the data to meet their needs.

"Numerous users tested the new CBI feature and feedback was overwhelmingly positive," stated Darrell Turner, President of CollaborateMD. "Users were impressed with the built in intelligence and were excited they could customize and create reports on their own, without having to contact us to create custom reports for them." Mr. Turner went on to add that "Our goal is to provide everyone who uses CMD a memorable user experience."

Extra features include the sharing of report templates with other users within the account, expandable/collapsible report grouping, exporting reports, and hyperlinks to open patients or claims directly from the report.  Additional exciting enhancements to the CBI are scheduled for later 2013 and will provide valuable office optimization and further improve the user experience.

About CollaborateMD

Since 1999, CollaborateMD's innovative cloud-based healthcare software solution has contributed to the financial success of medical practices and medical billing services across the country. CollaborateMD's solution, with its simplicity, affordable monthly fees, and 99% first pass claim rate allow thousands of medical providers to see a true return on investment.

Opera Music Broadcast Introduces Online Pay-Per-View Performances, Featuring The Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia

TRENTON, Mich., Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Opera Music Broadcast, (operamusicbroadcast.com) a leader in live video webcast and 24-hour Internet radio for the opera and vocal music community, is pleased to announce the launch of their iPPV channel, combined with a commission-based affiliate program.

Broadcasting audio since 2009 and video since 2010, OMB has featured world premieres and standard rep works in its webcast lineup.

Starting with a Jan. 15th webcast with the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia, fellow non-profit performing arts organizations can implement a small Pay-Per-View fee to viewers to offset their costs to produce high quality musical events for a global audience.

"It's not just a local event anymore," says MCOP Artistic Director Janelle McCoy. "We are lucky to have world-class singers here and the world should have an opportunity to see and hear them."

Opera bloggers and any website owner will also be able to earn a commission on PPV events by signing up for the new affiliate program. Affiliates will earn a 25% commission on each ticket sold through their website or blog, a service that has already been popularized by sites such as Amazon.

None of this is limited to the current opera and vocal music community - OMB hopes to keep the tradition of classical singing relevant by using technology to build and keep new audiences. A recent rebroadcast of the Glyndebourne Tristan und Isolde brought in a large number of viewers through Twitter. Video webcasts average a viewership in the tens of thousands, far more than could fit in the opera house.

"One of our success stories was a very small non-standard rep opera, 'Ariadne auf Naxos' which was webcast to 88,000 viewers in 28 countries," states OMB board member Frank Mazzella. "Viewers live chatted online and asked repeatedly for a rebroadcast. We did the math and the opera house would have had to do 96 performances to accommodate that many in-person viewers."

Upcoming and archived events include the Center City Opera on Jan 20th, another MCOP event and the Opera America Conference in May. Past events have featured the opera companies of Minnesota, Toledo and the Pine Mountain Music Festival, and singers such as James Valenti and Barbara Quintiliani. OMB hopes to sign more companies and organizations to fill out its broadcast schedule.

Viewers to the webcasts really enjoy the performances: "...love it when stuff like this is done because it says LOOK AT US, no we are not the Met, or la Scala, but we are relevant and we are putting out a product worth showcasing and worth being excited about" - Can Belto

A recent OMB live webcast from the Pine Mountain Music Festival was successfully moved to broadcast television, where the TV world premiere of "Rockland" will air on PBS Jan. 27th, originating from WNMU in Michigan.

OMB is a non-profit organization through its parent, Classical Music Broadcast.

aisle411 Announces Scalable Indoor Location Geo-Fence Alerts API to Expand In-Store Mobile Search and Navigation Solutions

Las Vegas area Walgreens Stores Showcased during CES in the aisle411 Android Application. Technology allows Retailers and App Developers to message shoppers based on in-store presence and their in-store location.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- aisle411, the premier mobile retail navigation service, today announced their Indoor Location Geo-Fence Alerts API being showcased in the aisle411 Android application at Las Vegas area Walgreens stores. aisle411 acquired the technology assets and multiple patents pending from Sunnyvale, CA Wilocate in September 2012 to provide precise indoor positioning information and has now integrated that technology into it's native mobile iOS and Android platforms expanding aisle411's unique in-store search and navigation offering.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130110/CG40378)

Indoor Location is believed to be the next billion-dollar market according to many industry experts. A recent article in VentureBeat predicts 2013 to be a break out year for this market.

With aisle411's scalable Indoor Geo-Fence Alerts solution, aisle411's platform allows retailers and 3(rd) party developers to deliver welcome messages as shoppers enter a store on Android and iOS devices and deliver messages based on in-store geo-fences on Android devices. The Indoor Geo-Fence Alerts solution builds on top of aisle411's established and growing indoor map and search solution covering over 10,000 indoor retail locations.

"One of the most powerful assets brick-and-mortar retailers have is their physical store.  Our Indoor Geo-Fence Alerts API combined with our indoor map and product search platform allows retailers to leverage their stores to its fullest extent by digitizing and making their stores mobile," said Nathan Pettyjohn, CEO of aisle411.  "For example, if a shopper enters a particular area of the store, a retailer might remind them with an Alert message on their phone that they can find a bigger selection of related items via the retailer's mobile website, or suggest a special offer located in a different aisle. This truly extends the shopper experience into an endless aisle where the in-store and online purchasing experience is blurred. Retailers can own that complete experience with this new Indoor Geo-Fence Alerts API from aisle411."

aisle411's positioning solution leverages a building's existing Wi-Fi infrastructure and sensor information from mobile devices, such as data provided by the gyroscope, pedometer and compass, to deliver precise location information indoors without the need for any specialized hardware or additional infrastructure.

aisle411's indoor searchable maps platform is live in over 10,000 retail locations and multiple major retailers and partners have embedded the aisle411 platform within their own mobile applications.  Now, aisle411 is signing up retail and app developer partners at http://www.aisle411.com who want to also leverage the Indoor Geo-Fence Alerts API that will go live in market in 2013.

"aisle411's indoor location positioning technology is a hybrid software-only solution that complements existing and emerging Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and sensor based solutions," said Kris Kolodziej, VP of Location Services at aisle411. "We look forward to announcing new solutions with other partners in 2013 that bring together the best indoor location technologies for the benefit of retailers and shoppers."

aisle411 empowers anyone with a smartphone to find products and promotions quickly and easily in retail stores with a unique in-store search and comprehensive mobile retail shopping solution. The aisle411 app is available for free from the iPhone App Store at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/aisle411/id394218369?mt=8 and the Google Play store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aisle411.

Getting Free Tablets with Your New Smartphone

LONDON, January 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    There are clear benefits to getting a pay monthly contract with your smartphone. The
inclusive extras such as minutes, texts and Internet data mean you can use your phone
freely without spending too much, and you can upgrade every so often to a new phone for
less. It also means you won't run out of credit. Increasingly, though, there are monthly
deals available that include other freebies, such as free gifts. One of the most popular
destinations for such deals is Carphone Warehouse.

    Carphone Warehouse
[http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/SAMSUNG_GALAXY_TAB_2_7_WIFI_8GB_WHT ]
has a huge selection of free gifts available online and in store, with everything from
TVs, games consoles, eReaders and tablets. One of the most popular at the moment is the
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Why's it so popular?

    Well, the tablet itself is a great bit of kit. The 7" screen makes it nice and
portable, but also easier to use for children who don't have to struggle with a large and
heavy device. This gives it lots of uses, it's family friendly, and a great bonus in a
contract. It also has pretty impressive hardware, with powerful insides such as a 1GHz
dual core processor, meaning it powers through apps, even running more than one program at
once, and is perfect for browsing the Internet away from a computer. Apps are also a
factor; as popular now as ever, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 has access to 700,000+ apps
via the Google Play(TM) Store, so there's plenty of choice for everyone.

    Price is also a factor. With the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 available from just GBP15.50
per month as part of a smartphone contract, it's extremely bank balance friendly.
Remember, that price includes a tablet and a smartphone, both worth well over GBP100 each.

    The selection of phones is also great at Carphone Warehouse. At the high end you can
pick up a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with a Samsung Galaxy S III Mini, a smartphone packed
with features, that delivers a great battery life and looks great to boot. There are also
offerings from HTC, BlackBerry, Nokia, and LG, totalling 14 phones for you to choose from.

    Fancy a free tablet? The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with a phone contract is one of the
best deals you're likely to find.

Steelcase at CES: Video Is Impacting The Way We Live, Work and Learn

Company to Showcase Concept Spaces at Consumer Electronic Show That Augment Human Interactions and Improve the Video Experience for Universities and Organizations

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As video becomes a dominate communication tool in the workplace and in the classroom, challenges such as inadequate space, lack of privacy, and concern over physical appearance are making the transition difficult for many people. Steelcase, a global leader in office and education environments, is displaying concept spaces and technology, this week at the HigherEd TECH Summit at CES, that better address these key barriers and create a more intuitive, dynamic, and natural videoconferencing experience.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130110/NY40126-INFO )

Video traffic has increased significantly, with large companies experiencing an increase of 70 percent annually according to recent Cisco research. Sixty two percent of employees regularly collaborate with people in different time zones and geographies. Today, people are living on video.

"Workers and students today are at the epicenter of a major shift in work styles -- they are using video in their personal and professional lives and are working and learning virtually more than ever before,"  says Allan Smith, Vice President, Marketing at Steelcase. "Work and education are more global than ever before - we need to interact with people all over the world. Meanwhile, video technology has grown rapidly and become more accessible -- it's portable, one-button simple and cheap.  But we realized that the physical spaces for video conferencing haven't kept pace with the technology. People would use video even more if the experience was more comfortable. At Steelcase, we're bringing together people, place and technology to enhance human interactions - at work, school and other places."

Whether connecting across the world, country, classroom or even town, people are using video more than ever. But  Steelcase research found people get distracted when they see themselves on video. According to a 2012 study conducted by Harris Interactive for Steelcase:

    --  72 percent of responders said they notice their physical appearance on
        screen.
    --  58 percent said they worried about looking tired, or washed out, due to
        the lighting conditions or camera quality on their computer.
    --  36 percent said that their workplace doesn't provide enough privacy to
        have one-on-one video conferencing.
Steelcase is showcasing concepts at CES that are designed to enhance the interactions people have at work or school by integrating technology with the physical environment -- all based on a human-centered design process that identifies the changes in how people really work today.

For example, one of the concepts Steelcase created is optimized for one-on-one interaction, but can also accommodate two people for impromptu meetings or calls. These units, which are visually reminiscent of a photo booth, feature a  display screen that contains everything needed for a high-quality video call:  the monitor, microphone, speakers, processor and a camera are all embedded in a display that can be height-adjusted so it feels like you're really making eye contact.  The spaces offer controlled lighting, a flattering background and is acoustically enhanced - the outside surface reflects sound and the inside surface absorbs it.

Additionally, Steelcase built on its successful media:scape® product line, with its iconic "puck" that allows multiple users to switch between data and video.  The company transformed the physical "puck" into a virtual app for iPod® or iPhone® which allows users to control the sound and lighting and also any additional content or media users want to display.

Learning on Video

Steelcase research revealed today's students are increasingly learning on video. The 21(st) century learning styles aim to prepare students for long distance collaboration in a global workforce that is increasingly living on video.

"Universities across the country have embraced distance learning through video technology, allowing students and educators to share information in and outside of the classroom, and helping shift a professor-centric experience to an interactive, participant-friendly environment," said Sean Corcorran, general manager of Steelcase Education Solutions. "By augmenting the interactions with video technology in the classroom and on campus, we can help students focus on the task at hand, increase trust among participants and minimize distractions, ultimately improving student success."

To help classrooms and organizations realize their full potential, Steelcase has provided recommendations for universities to enhance the physical learning environment to better enable optimum collaboration - and the strongest return on their technology investments.

Kenshoo Study Reveals U.K. Retailers Spent 27% More on Paid Search in Christmas Season with Nearly One-Third of all Clicks from Mobile

LONDON, January 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    - UK consumers spent 34% more on Boxing Day 2012 online purchases through paid search
ads than in 2011

    UK retailers spent 27% more on search marketing through Google and other major search
engines during this past Christmas season than in 2011 with more than 31% of all paid
search clicks coming from mobile phones and tablets according to data from global digital
marketing technology leader, Kenshoo [http://www.kenshoo.com ].

    The Kenshoo 2012 Global Online Retail Holiday Shopping Report
[http://www.kenshoo.com/2012GlobalOnlineRetailShoppingSeasonReport ] reveals UK retailers'
Boxing Day search ads generated a 34% increase in online sales revenue with a 43% increase
in conversion rates year-on-year (YoY) . Overall, for the season, advertisers in the
Kenshoo U.K. retail index generated GBP12.95 return on ad spend or nearly 13 GBP for every
1 Pound invested in paid search.

    "Savvy U.K. retailers planned ahead for post-Christmas shopping and allocated budgets
to capture Boxing Day peaks," said Aaron Goldman, chief marketing officer at Kenshoo.
"Despite increased competition throughout the Christmas season, Kenshoo U.K. clients
adapted their strategies to achieve strong results including creating bespoke campaigns to
target consumers by device type."

    The Kenshoo study found that tablets emerged as a critical consumer shopping device,
generating 18% of all paid search clicks and 21% of total revenue. More affluent tablet
owners produced an average order value (AOV) of GBP88.48 from search ads, significantly
higher than the GBP73.78 AOV for computers. Despite the strong performance, the average
paid search cost-per-click (CPC) for tablets is 31% less expensive than computers.

    Other key U.K. findings revealed in Kenshoo's report include:

       
        - When comparing paid search ads across mobile phone operating systems,

          Blackberry drew just 2.18% of clicks
        - For paid search ads delivered through tablet devices, 98.3% of clicks came
          from iOS (iPad) with just 1.07% coming from Blackberry and 0.62% from Android
        - Paid search conversion rates in the U.K. grew steadily from late November
          through the first three weeks in December and did not drop until the final few days

          impressions were up 18% but clicks were down 2%

Kenshoo 2012 Global Online Retail Holiday Shopping Report: Online Retailers Grew Revenue from Paid Search 36 Percent

Mobile phones generated more than 20 percent of U.S. paid search clicks; Google Product Listing Ads continued to deliver high return on ad spend

SAN FRANCISCO, January 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Kenshoo [http://www.kenshoo.com ], the global leader in premium digital marketing
technology, today unveiled the Kenshoo 2012 Global Online Retail Holiday Shopping Report
[http://www.Kenshoo.com/2012GlobalOnlineRetailShoppingSeasonReport ]. The research
presents aggregate search engine marketing data and analysis culled from more than 24
billion paid impressions and clicks on Google, Yahoo!, Bing and other global search
engines during the holiday season.

    (Logo:

    "Smart retailers capitalized on increased online consumer shopping activity this past
year by proactively creating product-level search campaigns and optimizing them throughout
the holiday season," said Aaron Goldman, chief marketing officer at Kenshoo. "Overall,
retailers using Kenshoo drove big gains in paid search revenue and increased return on ad
spend (ROAS), an impressive feat considering heightened competition and rising costs."

    Globally, the average paid search cost per click (CPC) rate increased 11 percent
year-over-year (YoY) to $0.48. Clicks increased 23 percent and converted at a rate 25
percent higher than 2011, helping produce considerable YoY growth in revenue from paid
search.

    In the United States, revenues driven by paid search increased 23 percent YoY. Mobile
phones generated more than 20 percent of paid search clicks, more than triple the year
prior. Meanwhile, tablets generated eight percent of U.S. paid search clicks and ad spend
while delivering six percent of total conversions and nearly seven percent of revenue.

    Google's Product Listing Ads (PLAs) experienced spikes in ROAS on Black Friday and
Cyber Monday in the U.S., while maintaining a very high ROAS for the first three weeks of
December. The PLA format appeared much less prone to the weekly fluctuations observed from
the overall holiday numbers including paid search text ads.

    Some of the other key U.S. insights presented in the report include:

       
        1) Thanksgiving Day saw the highest average order value, topping $150, as
          consumers loaded up their shopping carts.
        2) The days after Christmas and Thanksgiving are big spending days for
          consumers.
        3) Cyber Monday delivered the biggest increases in YoY clicks and ad spend
          reflecting heightened consumer interest and search marketing activity.
        4) Consumers are marking their calendars for Free Shipping Day as impression
          volumes jump 75 percent YoY.

    The Kenshoo 2012 Global Online Retail Holiday Shopping Report provides charts, graphs
and insights supporting these trends along with search marketing imperatives for
advertisers in the year ahead for search, social and mobile.

'Coffee Meets Bagel' Data Reveals Online Dating Does Not Threaten Monogamy

Social dating site's survey of more than 500 members shows that 67 percent of men and 79 percent of women are looking for a serious relationship or spouse.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Coffee Meets Bagel, a social dating site that utilizes its members' social graphs to find daily matches, today announced the results of its survey on the effects that online dating has on singles. Findings include what users are looking for out of online dating services, how online dating affects their views on long-term relationships and their outlook on dating in today's society.

Coming off the heels of the recent controversy surrounding online dating's negative effect on monogamy, coupled with a spike in New Years resolutions surrounding dating, Coffee Meets Bagel sought to find out about its users' preferences when it comes to using an online dating service.

Survey results reveal that online dating does not threaten monogamy, and it often times causes users to desire more serious relationships instead of continuous casual dates.

Online Dating Users Are Serious About Relationships:
Nearly 65 percent of Coffee Meets Bagel users said they are primarily looking for a serious relationship from online dating, with an almost even amount of men and women responding accordingly. An additional 13 percent of women and 4 percent of men claimed they are looking for a spouse.

When asked if online dating causes users to seek casual dates with multiple partners instead of serious relationships, 60 percent of men and 50 percent of women said it has no impact. In fact, another 14 percent of men and 40 percent of women said it has the opposite effect - online dating actually causes them to want more serious, monogamous relationships. The main reason mentioned for this was that meeting people via online dating reminded them of "how difficult it is to find the right person."

In a comparison of online and offline dating, the majority said that online dating makes it easier to meet new, interesting people and go on casual dates without causing any difference in their ability to find a serious partner. Only 18 percent of men and women believe that online dating makes it more difficult to find a serious partner.

"The survey findings show us that there's an opportunity for services like ours to help our members find what they're looking for in the dating world without tainting their overall perspective on relationships," said Dawoon Kang, co-founder of Coffee Meets Bagel. "What's interesting is that the majority of our users are fairly young [in their twenties], yet they're still looking for something serious. The survey results also break some of the gender stereotypes about dating - we think it's encouraging to see that an equal number of men and women are looking for serious relationships from online dating and believe that it makes it easier to meet interesting people."

How Do Men and Women Measure Up?
Just about half (49 percent) of men and exactly half of women say that online dating does not make their ability to find a serious partner any harder. The majority of both sexes agree that, in comparison to offline dating, it is much easier to meet new, interesting people via online services.

However, men and women have different opinions when it comes to pickiness. Of the 18 percent of respondents who believe online dating makes finding a serious relationship difficult, more than 50 percent of men believe this is the case because online dating has caused people to become pickier, whereas less than half of women find this to be true.

About Coffee Meets Bagel:
Coffee Meets Bagel is a leader in the new wave of social dating sites that utilize social graphs to find matches for its users. The company brings the social nature of Facebook and the engagement of casual games to the dating space. Coffee Meets Bagel is a "freemium" model that introduces its members to a friend-of-a-friend from their social network every day at noon via email. Members must LIKE or PASS on their match within 24 hours, and mutual LIKE's lead to direct connections via text message. For additional information, please visit http://coffeemeetsbagel.com.

Callaway Golf Signs 21-Year Old Japanese Sensation Ryo Ishikawa

CARLSBAD, Calif., Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced the signing of Ryo Ishikawa to a multi-year contract. Ishikawa, a ten-time winner on the Japanese Tour by the age of 21, joins Callaway as a full staff professional to play the Company's cutting-edge equipment, including its new RAZR Fit Xtreme(TM) Driver and the Odyssey putters Ishikawa has relied on throughout his career, including nine of his professional victories. Beyond the equipment, the Saitama, Japan native will wear Callaway-branded apparel, caps, gloves and footwear. Terms of the contract will not be disclosed.

"I am very happy to join the Callaway team," said Ryo Ishikawa. "I believe the wonderful innovation and support Callaway gives to its many great staff players with help me grow as I compete on the PGA Tour this year."

In May of 2007, when Ishikawa was just 15 years and eight months old, he became the youngest golfer to win a men's tournament on the Japan Golf Tour, winning the Munsingwear Open KSB Cup. Since then his rise to golf stardom in Japan has been swift and steady. Ishikawa turned professional in 2008 and by the end of that season, he became the youngest player to break into the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings. He went on to dominate the 2009 season in Japan. With four wins on Tour, he was the leading money winner on Tour and was named the Japan GTO MVP. In September of that year, Ishikawa became the youngest golfer to ever reach the top 50 on the Official World Golf Rankings.

"Ryo is an exciting, young international talent who has proven he can compete and win at the highest level," said Chip Brewer, President and Chief Executive Office, Callaway Golf. "And not only is he an accomplished golfer, Ryo is an extraordinary and generous young man. We are proud that he has chosen our products for their exceptional performance, and we are excited to welcome Ryo to Team Callaway."

Ishikawa played several events on the PGA Tour for the first time in 2009. He caught the attention of the American golfing community at the 2010 U.S. Open, however, where his pink attire and low scores piqued interest in the Japanese phenom. His best major performance came at The Masters in 2011, where he finished T20. Further endearing him to the golfing public across the globe, Ishikawa announced in March 2011 that he would donate his 2011 tour earnings - plus an additional 100,000 yen for every birdie he made - to the Japan earthquake relief efforts.

Ryo Ishikawa officially became a member of the PGA Tour in March 2012. His first event in 2013 as a Callaway staff professional will be the Humana Challenge in La Quinta, Calif., followed by the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego, Calif.

Comodo Launches Groundbreaking 2013 Internet Security

Default Deny Protection(TM) Raises the Bar for Anti-Virus Protection Solutions

CLIFTON, N.J., Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Comodo, one of the leading certificate authorities and Internet security organizations, recently announced the release of its Internet Security 2013 software.

Comodo's Default Deny Protection, however, uses a combination of firewall, antivirus, host intrusion prevention, automatic sandboxing and behavior analysis to create an nearly impenetrable shield that identifies safe, unsafe and questionable files and thereby decreases the chances a new virus can cause harm. Comodo guarantees customers with up to a $500 warranty for repair costs by an authorized Comodo representative should a PC become infected while under its protection.

"The rate at which new viruses and malware entering the market is staggering," said Melih Abdulhayoglu, Comodo's CEO and chief security architect. "Only Comodo, through its unmatched ability to prevent viruses and other malware infections from even reaching your PC, can offer consumers and businesses alike a product guaranteed to protect your PC."

CIS 2013 integrates cutting-edge technology such as Comodo's Auto Sandbox Technology(TM) and Virtual Kiosk. The CIS 2013 sandbox is a virtual operating environment for untrusted programs - ensuring viruses and other malicious software are completely isolated from the rest of your computer. The new Virtual Kiosk gives you and extra level of security by allowing you to run a virtual desktop right inside of the sandbox.

Additionally CIS 2013 includes an advanced system activity utility called Killswitch and improved Firewall and Rescue Disk tools. With an intuitive user interface, Windows 8 compatibility and enhanced performance CIS 2013 sets the standard for anti-virus protection solutions.
