[QUOTE="Deleted member 21043, post: 316158"] A well known vendor claiming that a website may contain malware hurts reputation. What if someone using Comodo SecureDNS wanted to download CCleaner or another Piriform product and then they see that red alert claiming it contains malware? It's misleading, because not only is Piriform clean and not malicious, but they seem to not have actually checked the website. Not only this, however that user will most likely be put off continuing after knowing that Comodo have said they may be a unsafe action, meaning that Piriform don't get that extra customer who could have indeed become a paid customer (meaning they now lose money). Poor effort. --- [SPOILER] [url]https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/5607e03bbaa0ce6e9be4259aabea89429a894dabad590adca96934fd4d4d4f9d/analysis/1418772464/[/url] Now Comodo seem clear (probably realized the detection quickly). 2 other products, which, funnily enough I have never heard of... detect the website. Who knows, maybe Comodo just saw the report on VirusTotal and decided to detect it based on the other false positive detections from the other 2 products listed on VT. One of them most likely messed up, then the other just most likely saw one detected and added it. If so, poor effort... This is why I like companies like ESET. They actually check the sample them self instead of copy-pasting detections. [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
