Is the AntiVirus biggest fraud in the security world?

Saying something with all certainty suggests you have a solid foundation. But only at the end of your post you post a somewhat disjointed IMHO of which is not immediately clear what it refers to.

"...but when companies add scanning signatures into their databases for viruses or what many would call "malware" before any such payloads are even reported in any way, even to the companies themselves, it makes one wonder.

There has always been speculation that security software companies themselves have even released malware that their software is ready to detect.

IMHO of course. \m/ Rock On COMODO!

Thank you, Joe!

I used to work in computer mfg. many years ago in the Silicone Valley and my circle of friends reflected that. Also due to my position it was required that I be present at top level meetings with all dept. heads. I had no activity in the programming area there, knew next to nothing about it. Regardless, I 'heard stuff'.

I was privy to the most intimate knowledge exchanged at all levels and in corporate meetings or afterwards at Happy Hour when lips were loosened. That's part of the reason I posted what I did about the possible source of some malware. Far as I know there was no more desperately competitive, cut-throat aggressive, anything goes and no holds barred industry in the history of manufacturing. The intrigues were beyond amazing.

Imagine another company inserting insiders into the company to attempt the highjacking of a semi-truck double trailer load of components just to delay promised delivery date and cause a contract failure! Assembly line equipment sabotage? Sure, why not!? ANYTHING GOES were the operative words.

Why? Because the 'Lifetime' of a product from the day it was first thought up through design, R&D, testing, marketing, introduction and to the end of its 'New Product' market-advantage life was no more than 12 months - Obsolete! That is Competitive with a capital C when $Billions are at stake...

I'm not surprised at all. Big corporations will do just about anything to get money. I bet my money that some ppl here will think that Coca-Cola is a good organisation while in fact they are not. But that's a bit

The best example to this is current events between Samsung and Apple.

[SyNSatioN]

every one is behind money or the benefit of others  nothing comes free ... but we the user need to choose the best that money can buy for there suitable needs ..  i would say no  antivirus is the must .. choosing the best is in the hands of the User  .

This is bad and ugly marketing. This is lie, a big one.
Comodo never do this thing, and because of that we are loving it.

.. This is bad and ugly marketing. ..

I agree, that is bad. On wonder on what basis their marketing people support these claims. What's the source of these images?

Shame on them. I really dont know how to react on this kind of terrible marketing tricks. For the worst, people dont know too much, and they belive in this false results.

[clockwork]

terrible marketing tricks

Rather shame on the marketing. Not just terrible.

The amount of convinced people will tend to zero.

I hope the advertised product is a bad one. Because the advertising would at least protect users by de-convincing

In theory, that could work, but in practice, it's called censorship and opens a whole new can of works.
