Maybe its just a misunderstanding, but for me, from these findings it seems that this "company" is in deep sh*t and sinking....I hope it doesn't pull Comodo with itself. (Ok this obviously wont happen Smiley but it can harm the reputation.)

Yeah, but selling another company's payware product under license is a different story from selling a freeware, isn't it?
Do you see the contradiction between the two underlined words?  lol..

It is not just Site Advisor which doesn't like this.   I tried to look at the web site but cannot go there, so I guess my MVPS hosts file has it blocked.

Yes, they are blocked by MVPS Hosts file too :

Forgive me (Embarrassed) for this off topic post:

Every time I see the title "What is this" I come to think of Ozzy Osbourne singing that line (+ "that stands before me"), in the song Black Sabbath, of Black Sabbath. I even sing it myself when I read this line. Cool

although Comodo do make claims that their firewall is and will always be free, so now that they are making money “through the back door” they may well have a false advertising case to answer.

Luudicrous.

They have every legal right to license their propretary code for commercial gain. The fact that they have chosen to distribute their firewall for free to end users, does not, in any manner, obligate any licensee of their code to continue giving it away for free. Under Australian law, this is held true as the licensed components are proprietary information, written, developed, owned and copyrighted by Comodo (in several commercial guises) and Comodo (in their several guises) can set the terms for the distribution, licensing and re-distribution of said code, or fragments thereof. In fact, they can set different licensing terms for each instance of the code that is licensed.

The licensee is not marketing the firewall containing the licensed code as "Comodo Firewall Pro" are they?

A product called "Comodo Firewall Pro" is still available for free from http://personalfirewall.comodo.com, isn't it?

Spend six years, do a law degree, then come back and speak with some authority.

so far the info:

background: they are licensing our engine from us (yes they pay too.. well bloody worth it imo Smiley )

new info: what was reported about them in this forum about they are a malware provider etc etc..

our reaction: oh dear.. lets check this further....

our results so far: so far our investigation reveals that they are legitimate entity (which backs up our original investigation on them prior to signingi), legal entity, BBB member, has similar deals with other security firms etc etc.

thanks

All of us can remeber how the toolbar of COMODO was considered "spyware", and a lot of people considered COMODO a rogue company.
Perhaps, here is the same.

Commodus you are making assumptions without a shred of information. Thumb Down

Try a bit of patience.   Melih is looking into it isn't he?

Nobody is hiding anything here!
