I also received a newsletter from Comodo in my mailbox
However I never subscribed to the newsletter from Comodo (and never received any for years, that was OK)
In my profile > Modify Profile > Notifications and EMails : the checkbox
“Receive forum newsletters, announcements and important notifications by email.”
was now checked.
The checkbox auto-checked itself by itself…
I have unchecked it myself this time, but I hope it is only a one-time bug (not a new habit on this site).
(In any case I will never click a link to unsubscribe to a newsletter, inside a mail that I must consider as a spam :
it would be a insecure action of me, since I can have some doubt about the source of the message
it would not solve the bug that leaded to the unwanted subscription to the newsletter
it’s not my job to correct site bugs)
This only event does not significantly lower the good opinion I have of the Comodo Apps (CIS especially)
Nevermind, it said “The Comodo Forum” for sender, not subject.
Not sure if it’s the same announcement as the others got, but it’s the one I got.

Did you ever fill in your email address during the installation process of a Comodo product over the years?
Yes : for some testing purpose, I just re-installed the discontinued Comodo Memory Firewall 2.0.4.20 (CMF) a few days ago,
who asked for my mail during the installation, but I did not fill the field with my mail address this time.
However I may have given my mail to CMF a few years ago when I first registered it, and he might have remembered it
Currently I have in the registry :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ComodoGroup\cmf\License\E_Mail → a unreadable binary value
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ComodoGroup\cmf\License\Newsletter → dword=0
My current CMF option :
‘Automatically check for the updates’ → unchecked
‘I am going to use e-mail alerts’ → unchecked
If I reinstall a Comodo product I will be more cautious :
un-plug the internet/install the program/uncheck the mail alerts & newsletter options/reboot/re-plug the internet
