Comodo Verification Engine for Windows

Used Comodo Verification Engine for Windows?

Developer’s Description

Protect yourself while surfing the Web.

Phony Web sites abound on the World Wide Web, created by scammers hoping to infect your PC with malware or steal your personal information. Eliminate this risk with Comodo Verification Engine, a free program helping all Web users separate the real from the fake. Verification Engine (VE) couldn't be simpler: download the free application, then move your mouse over any logos or log-in boxes on a page you'd like to verify. If it's the real deal, a green border will appear around your browser. (Or, if you prefer, you can program any .WAV file to play upon verifying a site's identity.) A green border means you can rest assured that the site you're accessing is not trying to scam you or infect your PC. VE is also the safest way to protect yourself from email-based "phishing attacks", a common scam on the Web. VE uses browser-independent technology, so attacks on certain browsers won't be able to trick it. Verification Engine is quick to install, easy to use, and provides the ultimate layer of security for shopping online, banking online, or simply surfing your favorite sites.

Pros
Correctly verifies the type and status of SSL certificate a web-site holds.
Cons
Only occasionally stops working after an update to Windows or Mozilla. But that is corrected in short order, in my experience.
Summary
This handy utility goes farther than the built in browser certificate checker to let you know if the SSL certificate is actually up to standards and verifiable. If not, you don't really know who could be operating that certificate, and could easily be a front uperation only looking like the site you though you were on!!! It is a good idea to go to a trusted source like networking4all to find out just exactly what all else might be wrong with the certificate, as this can help you understand such things; and also provides information on how to correct the problems, to provide web-masters suggestions on how to get their prospective certifications in order. Surprisingly Comodo does no sale pushing on this process, and it would be tempting for them to do so. But it is enough that they have their venerable name associated with the service utility. Only the problem with the site is shown when you click the padlock on your browser denoting the SSL symbol for security in communications. Comodo does a good job keeping it updated for Internet Explorer and FireFox updates. It DOES NOT slow your computer down! I use this utility on fast and slow old PCs and I notice NO hit in performance at all! I do not work for any company or person; I just expect web safety for shoppers everywhere!
very good glad i down loaded it

Pros
it works kinda for 2 or 3 websites
Cons
slows your computer down and is annoying with pop up frame around websites you know are real (ex: yes i know google is real no duh)
Summary
only has a few verified sites not worth getting until comodo makes some improvments
