Rather than answer my own question, may I let the folks who made it do that? Here's what they say in their Help section's introduction of it:-
Overview
Comodo Firewall Pro offers 360° protection against internal and external threats by combining an enterprise class packet filtering firewall with an advanced host intrusion prevention system. The new-look interface facilitates quick and easy access to all major settings, including the powerful and highly configurable security rules interface.
Built from the ground upwards with your security in mind, this award winning firewall constantly monitors and defends your system from inbound and outbound attacks. Version 3.0 now features a fully fledged Host Intrusion Prevention System called Defense+ to protect your critical operating system files and block viruses and malware before they ever get the chance to install. In fact, Defense+ is so good at blocking malware, you may never need a dedicated anti-virus program ever again.
The new-look firewall features a friendly graphical user interface; highly granular configuration options; easily understood and informative alerts; wizard-based detection of trusted zones and much more. It delivers enterprise class protection yet can be used ‘out of the box’ - so even the most inexperienced users will not have to deal with complex configuration issues after installation.
