Comment on Is PrivDog another Superfish

Comments

Yes, it is!

The fact that you're getting this result from the Badfish test page means that Privdog is not validating SSL certificates correctly. This is incredibly bad -- uninstall this software immediately.

Its bad enough because this was bundled with Comodo Internet Security ( https://help.comodo.com/topic-72-1-451-6840-.html and https://help.comodo.com/topic-169-1-413-6109-.html )

Neither of those links imply that PrivDog is bundled with those apps. It just mentions it as something you can download.

Edit : Just re-read the linked document. Yes, it does indicate that it's an install-time option. However, I've yet to see confirmation that Comodo software comes bundled with the SSL-intercepting version of PrivDog.

It auto-installs via nagware however.
