![]() At best I found an option under settings named “Enable log” which a user can check or uncheck however there is no clear indication if this “log” refers to the data collection done by Comodo or a different program function. I looked up, down, left, right, in, and out – no where in Comodo Backup did I see an option to opt out of sending data to Comodo. Many software developers ask you if you want to send anonymous usage statistics to the developer while using their program however you can always opt out if you do not want to. Now it is not just Comodo wanting to collect data from you while you use their software. Am I understanding it properly or am I being paranoid? Not only will Comodo collect data, but the data can potentially be personally identifiable: Comodo won’t disclose the data to a third party in a manner which will personally identify you but that means if they are taking a deliberate and conscious action to make sure the data is not personally identifiable when being passed on to a third party, the data is personally identifiable when Comodo themselves have it. I am not legal mind, but to me this says if you install Comodo Backup, Comodo will collect data from your computer such as how you use Comodo Backup. While installing Comodo Backup I glanced over its EULA (End User License Agreement) and was shocked by what I saw: So, naturally, I was intrigued and went to download Comodo Backup. Today as I was checking my e-mail, I got an e-mail from a dotTechie informing me of the fact Comodo Backup, a free backup solution provided by Comodo, was recently updated to v2 with major changes and I should check it out (yes – I do read the e-mails I am sent even if I forget to reply… surprise, surprise). I am creating this post to address another (potentially more important) issue with Comodo products. ![]() Whatever side you are on for the above two issues, this post is not to discuss them that is for another time. ![]() So in the end the result was (is) Comodo Internet Security was (is) removed from Softpedia’s download database. Softpedia, standing by their high standards, refused. Of course Comodo did not like that, so they tried to get Softpedia to remove the label.
