Comodo TrustConnect

Comodo TrustConnect uses AES encryption to protect the VPN connection between the user's device and the service. AES is a widely used symmetric encryption standard, although the exact security also depends on the protocol and configuration used by the client.

TrustConnect routes internet traffic through its VPN connection so websites see the VPN endpoint's IP address instead of the user's normal address. That masks the address associated with the local connection but does not provide anonymity from logged-in accounts.

TrustConnect was intended to provide a private connection when users were browsing from networks they did not fully trust. Its core use case was secure remote access to the internet, rather than PC cleaning or antivirus scanning.

No, TrustConnect was a VPN service, while Comodo antivirus products focused on detecting and blocking malicious software. Both carried the Comodo name, but AES-encrypted tunneling and IP masking were the defining TrustConnect functions.
