COMODO FIREWALL CRUCIFIED!

FreewheelinFrank · 2007-08-11T20:51:43.000Z

For heavens sake, it’s just FUD:

TrustToolbar description TrustToolbar Plug-in - Realtime website identity authentication TrustToolbar is a Free Internet Explorer Plug-in - Provides you with realtime visual identity assurance of who your current website really is!
Here are some key features of “TrustToolbar”:

· Let’s
you surf to the website you want simply by entering their brand, company or product names - remembering complex URLs is a thing of the past!
· Let’s you search for specific products and services offered within the validated and Trusted Commercial Web containing millions of companies selling the prodcut or service you want!
· Bring the power of your favourite search engines right to your fingertips
· simply search directly from TrustToolbar. With TrustToolbar you’ve got the search power of Google, Excite, MSN, Bay9 & more right on your browser tool bar!
· Allows Homepage Owners to register friendly names for replacements to their complex URLs that will be easily remembered by family and friends.

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Browser-Tweak/TrustToolbar.shtml

Softpedia guarantees that TrustToolbar 3.0.0.69 is 100% CLEAN, which means it does not contain any form of malware, including but not limited to: spyware, viruses, trojans and backdoors.
This software product was tested thoroughly and was found absolutely clean, therefore it can be installed with no concern by any computer user.

The keyword here is tested.

The toolbar is detected by a few scanners, most don’t detect it, some detected it in the past but withdrew the detection on re-examination.

The Comodo forum gives a reasonable explanation of why the toolbar might have mistakenly been detected as malware, but stresses that it’s not.

So either some anti-spyware progs are making a mistake, or Softpedia is wrong, as is PC World:

I’m going to try the damn thing just to clear this up once and for all!!

Yes Tech, but let us look at various info and the facts, for instance CastleCops for me still an authority states:
http://www.castlecops.com/tk586-Ttbbho_dll.html
and it is given a clear bill;
while here you have another opinion:
http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/browser_helper_objects/623-Ttbbhodll.html
or here: http://descriptions.securescout.com/tc/19016
And I think it is on dubious grounds, just because the workings of the BHO it is classified as a hijacker, not every BHO is bad for the way it behaves. Then they state that through the workings of this hijacker this could be able to load smut through associative search engines. That is a very heavy accusation and it means that you install the trustbar to load explicit adult content unto your machines, duh!
Who is trying to run COMODO into the ground just because of an outlay of a Browser Helper Object and the way in behaves inside IE?
It is just like with other things to-day, I think that COMODO is not guilty until proven to be, and not in the way of the Napoleonic law so popular now everywhere - you are guilty until you can prove your innocence, as many here like to present this case, waiting for reactions,

Well, I gave the toolbar a try.

Accusations against TrustToolbar:

Displays ads.
Hijacks browser
Difficult to uninstall

My findings:

Displays ads - false
Hijacks browser - false
Difficult to uninstall - false

At least some of the reasons given for the classification as spyware are unfounded.

Absolutely accord with you polonus, but is on "Spybot-Search & Destroy Imunize list, “Lawasoft” list, “F-Secure”, “CastleCops”, “SpySweeper”, “pestpatrol”, “Computer Assoicates”, “PC Tools”, etc.

CEO-Comodo say on all this: “It really frustrates me to have such cowboys in the “security” field, charge customers and don’t deliver decent enough product.”

Put on balance!

Why aren't you blaming these companies who have detected this False Positives? What makes them the good guys??? If avast! detects a false positive, we harp Alwil to correct it. We don't go to the company whos software was erroneously tagged as malware. Why is this any different?

Lisandro · 2007-08-11T22:56:45.000Z

These kind of people do not acknowledge errors.
These kind of people do not apologize.
We’re feeding FUD rumors here…

system · 2007-08-11T23:29:21.000Z

Guess there is one other way to look at all of this. This thread and all of the posts are certainly free advertisement for Comodo. Too bad it’s not a case of “out of sight, out of mind”.

If that is so, my dear FwF, what then is the scheme behind this? If it is a scheme for free advertisement for COMODO? I do not believe this, some leave the program because some doubts have arisen in their minds, some that believe in a certain program anyways become ever greater fanboys. I think this comes just by itself, it might be generated by a mole or troll for such matter for reasons we can only guess about. Some people feed their energies on controversy, each knows enough of these people from one’s own experience. Then their is envy one of the great propelling forces in the universe, created by the demiurge and put on forth by other forces, next when people loose the ability to judge by or for themselves, then we have the situation we find ourselves in here. Just ignore it.

I was trying not to change its mind of anyone, only simple exchange of information.
If you think that there is global conspiracy against Comodo? your choice.

Add one more “participant of global conspiracy” against Comodo if you wish?

PeerGuardian :

Into this list, even Google servers will be listed.
In fact, the purpose of PeerGuardian is to improve P2P usage, avoid servers that block P2P action, so this in on contrary that you’re posting, showing that Comodo is trying to avoid access of P2P traffic.
Comodo, in this list, is safer that you can imagine…

Hi All! I have read all 5 pages of this thread, & IMHO my conclusion will be:

PLEASE STOP FIGHTING WITH THE WINDMILL, CPF is A great firewall, that make it’s job very well to me. If the soft is good for me (& I think not only for me), than why on earth we are sticking to this thread???
IF you like it - you use it, if not - than not.
