It's alright with me if people are trying to find a catch in important security apps like a firewall. But I think you should at least have some proof that something is wrong before starting to shout.
In this case it looks to me like what I (and many others) did in my childhood: ringing a bell, running away and hiding, and looking what happened. Big fun of course when somebody got really angry. But I stopped doing this when I was about 12 years old.
In newsgroups it's getting less, luckily. Now it's more somebody doesn't like the interface and things like that, but less about ads and spyware. And interfaces etc. are merely a matter of taste.
But I still don't understand why it's almost alone about Comodo when it comes to spyware etc.
McAfee is a commercial firm too. They own SiteAdvisor, so they can collect EVERY site you ever visit. Don't know if they keep that information, but they can, if they want. And they never say they're in it for the money, which they certainly are. So if you are afraid about spying...
Comodo is very open about also using CPF as a way to get their brand known and make money that way. Since Comodo is so open about that, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. (Well, hmm, in my paradise there's no money, but I'm probably the last dinosaur on this earth dreaming of such a world
)
So I still don't understand why it's almost always Comodo that gets attacked.
