Is detecting ASK-toolbar a FP or not ?

Well, it is detected as a FP.

True, but Comodo is bundling it in CIS, so it seems a bit funny to detect it then…

Yes, I found it a bit funny, too.

Since your image is from Softpedia…
This is a bit strange:

What does that version of Ask Toolbar have to do with CIS? ???

Will CIS or any other AV detect the SafeSurf toolbar as malware?

AFAIK the safesurf toolbar is detected by several products…

I think this is the best description;
potentially unwanted program ASKToolbar

HopSurf is not detected by any AV, yet.

VirusTotal, askBarSetup.exe (Comodo DB 1141).
