Could be Co-Brand I suppose.

(Edit) I guess not then.

Thanks for reporting this zinarali. I hope that Comodo will take legal actions against the site owners.
Looks like they're some idiots that just've done some modification of the GUI in Paint. It seems like all of their products are stolen...
Their Parental Control is from PureSight. Note how they're using the PureSight-logo in the screenshots.
And isn't Spyware 24x7 a nice copy of Ad-Aware 2007 Pro?

By the way, I'll post on the Lavasoft Support Forums.

I've sent him a PM.

Here's Melih's reply:

They are a decent company who is using Comodo as their engine.

thanks.

I guess "using Comodo as their engine" means they've done a complete rip-off and sells it for $19.99...

Oh please Comodo don't follow Kaspersky's footsteps and don't sell or give licenses to use your firewall engine to other companys  It will ruin the brand 

I mean Kaspersky's brand is good, but I don't like that they are selling there AV's engine to everyone.

anyone try to contact this rip off company yet?

[Goose18]

I got ahold of this company and this is what they said.




Renee: Your are correct, our firewall is powered by Comodo, it doesnot mean it is illegal to sale it. We have a contract with Comodo

Renee: Is there anything else I can assist you with today.


After me telling them it is illegal to resell the firewall without purchasing the Comodo Engine this is what they had to say.



Renee: We are not using Comodo or any other software, we are a very established company.

Renee: Thank you for chatting with us today. Have a nice day.

Melih !!! Cancel the contract  Pretty please

 Melih, i'm not trying to say that you're wrong on that at all. Just to me this doesn't seem like a good move...
