Another WinFixer clone using Comodo

Landing on the below site the visitor is presented with yet another fake scan from a known Rogue product ...
Symantec describes this as "The program reports false or exaggerated system security threats on the computer"

 

When I clicked the link to [sic] purchase the product ... as you can see this is another "WinFixer/SetupAHost" clone using a Comodo certificate.

I have contacted Comodo several times in the past and they have been very prompt in shutting down these accounts ... although I wish they would just search their records and cancel everything issued in the name of SetupAHost. It's pretty obvious by now that everything issued to SetupAHost is a Rogue program designed to do nothing more than ripoff the public ... and who knows what they will do with your personal information once submitted via their website ...

Update Mar 16: After contacting Comodo ... "this account is now closed" ... kudos!
