Mike Burgess response to Comodo’s CEO

I sent an email on 04-21-09 alerting Comodo and never received a reply … so why would I bother sending another when I find more of the same (Malware sites using Comodo certificates) … however after “going public” it sure didn’t take long for these certificates to be revoked. Imagine that … I got a reply today … “your email got buried” = buried? … if you notice I sent it to both the address I was given and “CC’d” to the person I dealt with previously …

Let me put a little perspective on this … “Conficker systems being updated with SpywareProtect2009
Conficker is now believed to be the largest computer worm infection since the 2003 … and Comodo issued the certificate to “SpywareProtector-2009″ … now you can’t tell me that this domain name isn’t a cause for concern? It gives me chills to think how many people were duped into purchasing this product.
