Comcast Adds Security Feature to High-Speed Internet Customers
Posted on: Tuesday, 16 August 2005, 21:00 CDT
Aug. 17--NASHUA -- Comcast has launched a new security offering for all of its 7.7 million High-Speed Internet customers, providing them with one powerful, easy-to-use security solution for protection against online threats.
For no additional charge, customers can receive nearly $115 in value to protect their households and enhance their online experience with Internet security solutions available through various virus scan and firewall products.
Customers can receive the Comcast Toolbar, a free download, which is being designed to give one-click access at the top of their browser to the most popular features on Comcast.net.
The customizable Toolbar features spyware detection and removal, fast and easy access to pop-up blocker, as well as integrated search functionality.
Early this fall, Comcast plans to introduce an anti-phishing security solution within the Comcast Toolbar, which will help further protect customers from the growing threat of identity theft.
"We want our customers to have the best broadband Internet experience.
Security is a critical component to that," said Greg Butz, senior vice president of marketing and business development for Comcast Online, in a prepared statement.
The Comcast.net Security Channel is integrated into the same Comcast.net portal customers already use to check their e-mail, send Video Mail messages, and access their photos, news, entertainment, sports scores, kid's features, games, and other content found on Comcast.net.
Comcast customers can also turn to the Comcast.net Security Channel for education about the latest threats and learn how they can stay protected.
For example, whenever a new virus is uncovered, Comcast updates its security channel to make its customers aware of any potential dangers and provides links to critical updates.
Customers can access the Comcast.net Security Channel and download the complete security solution by visiting www.comcast.net/security/.
