Comodo Firewall Update

Earlier this week, I posted information regarding the Comodo 3 "Basic Firewall" based on a report from Scot Finnie's Scot's Newsletter Blog. Scot has been "in the industry” for many years and is the Editor-in-Chief at “Computer World” (See Scot's Website and "Full Disclosure" following).

After publishing the original article, Scot received a barrage of comments and Comodo’s president and CEO, Melih Abdulhayoglu, posted a reply in the Comodo forum, including what I consider a couple rather unprofessional "rants" at the end of his reply (copied below).

Although I do not use Comodo Firewall, it was added to Vista Compatible Firewalls based the testing and designation by Matousec that
This software runs on Windows Vista.
However, please note that Comodo Firewall is not listed in the Windows Vista AppReadiness database as being "Ready" for Windows Vista.

Like Tashi at Certified Bug suggested in her updated report
Comodo’s CEO Fires Back, users of Comodo Firewall are encouraged to read the references below to make your own educated decision.

Full Disclosure:
  1. I have not personally used the Comodo Firewall.
  2. I was a subscriber of Scot's Newsletter for many years, a member of Scot's Newsletter Forum (SNF) since 2003 and am currently an Administrator of SNF Forum.

You know what pisses me off the most: Its ill-informing, mis-informing doing a disservice to users, because of our own agendas!!!! I have no problem with people liking or disliking what we have, we respect opinions, however people in the position to make a difference, abusing the trust that users have bestowed upon them by ill-informing is just plain wrong!!!
