I wouldn't touch another Comodo application with a barge pole even if someone were tempting to pay me. Edit: My son tried Comodo when he got his Laptop recently. Played all sorts of havoc. McAfee couldn't care less about what we write!
Just tested SiteAdvisor by searching for McAfee Sucks on Google and SiteAdvisor still goes to the commercial page when clicking the more info link in the pop-up. Of course there's no need in complaining about it because I'm sure it doesn't exist in the commercial version which I'll never buy. Yeah of course they don't care about what we think as they will always sell a lot of copies of there software and everyone seems to slag Norton off but it still hasn't stopped me from using it Doesn't McAfee get American government founding into developing there software or was that just some rummer that i heard?
If you think about it a lot of people really give Microsoft a slatting about there software but i doubt if they give two monkeys also and how many of the users that visit CCleaner forums use Microsoft, i would say that the vast majority do. Tried it a number of times. Whichever way I do it, "more info" or left click "view site details" on the McAfee icon, I do not go to the commercial page. Tried it a number of times with different sites, and goes direct each time.
Tried FF and IE. Same result. Anyone that actually reads the ad page will know why as it tells you there or at least it did last time I saw it. LOL I guess we cant read. Same here. I guess I hate ad's so much that I never even read that page not even once. I knew that. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy!

AnGrA Posted February 13, TwistedMetal Posted February 13, But any viruses that do manage to make it past the gateway firewall and onto your device s are on there to stay unless you have an antivirus app on the device that can detect it and remove it. The thing is Comcast themselves say as much in this Xfinity Community forum thread.
