    This is the umptheen time but here we go again :-)

    Launchpad's purpose: To show what other products were available from
    Comodo.
    Replacement: Nothing... you have to go our website to find out what
    products available.

    Do you think that having adware in your product has heart your
    business reputation?

    The answer is no, because we never had adware in our product!

    The way I see it; any product specifically designed to advertise
    products is adware. You obviously decided it was better to remove the
    adware, which is a good thing, but for those who have never used your
    products (I'm one of them) the stain of that initial bad decision is
    bad for your business. I had hoped you would have realized that and
    acknowledge it as a mistake.

    i would tend to agree, more or less... my feeling is that a good
    functional definition for adware is software that displays ads for
    something other than itself...

    that said, i'm also aware that most people don't use the term that
    way... most only bother with the label at all when the software also
    has trojan properties...

    So, I'm assuming you don't use Google, or any of their products, since
    they advertise everywhere.

    Well, duh, one would think the fact they removed launchpad from the product
    supports that they ackowledge a mistake was made. The product is free, give
    the guy a freakin' break!

    Comodo has never had adware in their product.

    And Comodo's reputation improves all the time, because Melih listens to
    his users. Every time an issue arises, he's there to deal with it. You
    don't see too many other company heads taking the time and making the
    effort he does to keep his customers happy.

    From my perspective they did.

    I'm not disputing that at all. What I'm saying is that the Launchpad
    addition to their product did more harm to them the they are
    apparently willing to admit. There have been enough testimonials to
    satisfy me that Comodo has very good products, but if they can't admit
    to making a mistake with Launchpad, that just puts me (and I would
    suspect many other people) off.

    I think perhaps you are making a mountain out of a molehill.

    I didn't like the LaunchPad. I thought it was a pain in the ass, and I
    stopped using the associated product as a result. Still, the product I
    continue to use (one for which I have paid), is excellent. And the free
    products just continue to get better.

    If one removes a feature, I'd say that's a pretty substantive admission
    that it was not a good feature. Were you hoping for a press release and
    a mea culpa? If so, I think you're asking too much.

    I'm really more interested in the fact that Comodo listens to the users
    of its (free) products and accomodates their needs. Positive action
    speaks a whole lot more loudly than apologies, IMO.
