Comodo kicks SetupAHost to the curb
Good news gang ... I was informed by Comodo that they have revoked all certificates issues to the WinFixer/SetUpAHost ... I know it's only a small victory but it causes them to look elsewhere, and I'm sure it won't take them long to establish another bogus setup ...
In other related news ... remember how long it took to get ValueClick to drop it's association with WinFixer/SetupAHost?
Well it seems yesterday was a really bad day for ValueClick!
The FTC on Monday fined online advertiser ValueClick $2.9 million for sponsoring deceptive online advertisements, and not adequately securing customers' personal information ... [report here]
And then on the same day ... "eBay dumps ValueClick" in favor of it's own in house advertising ... ouch!
While the $2.9 million fine may not mean much to the company, combined with the above and another report that states ...
"The ValueClick stock hit its 52 week high of 36.70 in May and set its 52 week low of 16.31 today" ... wow!!! think about that if you were a stockholder ...
