SiteAdvisor by McAfee gave CIS a "yellow" rating because it contacted several web servers.

I'd like to know if the "web server contact" is true or not for CFP with Defense+, only.

Where? which web page?
What do you mean? CIS
comodo.com is green

Not overly concerned just curious.

McAfee SiteAdvisor does give comodo.com a green rating, but it checked a RC version of CIS and assigned it with a yellow label (warning) for contacting the web servers:

www.comodo.com
static.ask.com
a1230.b.akamai.net
wzpo.ask.com
www170.mywebsearch.com

(Note that this yellow label has been on the Firewall since version 3 something, and I was getting uncomfortable using Comodo)

The link of the McAfee site report is http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/comodo.com?ref=safe&client_ver=FF_26.6_6275&locale=en-US&premium=false&client_type=FF&aff_id=0  (Although I'm unsure if it will work on computers w/o the SiteAdvisor extension.)

So you're saying these ratings are false, then?

(If so I'll post to the SiteAdvisor homepage, the unofficial forum)

I think what it's detecting is comodo's tool bar (Which is totally optional!!)


But yes, If you could please report that it would be much appreciated Smiley

I would, but if it is detecting the tool bar and Comodo Safe Search (and it's not false), then I can't really report anything (because it would be true). I'll make a comment, but still... are you sure Comodo doesn't contact any ports on its own?

   Ummm......okay.  If SiteAdvisor is worried about CIS having a toolbar, then what the h--l are they doing to people trying to install SiteAdvisor?  See my earlier post on this.

   As I remember my last (and final) install of SiteAdvisor I chose the do not install option for the Yahoo! Toolbar, and it installed itself anyway.  Maybe SA should paint its own site with a red rating.
