Confidence
The domain has been registered for over 28 years, which is a primary indicator of an established business rather than a temporary scam site. Our antivirus network shows a perfect clean record across 92 different engines, and the site holds a valid high-assurance SSL certificate. While our automated filters flagged a 'tech-support' pattern, this is a false positive triggered by the site's legitimate sale of antivirus and remote security tools. Business registration data confirms the company is active and headquartered in New Jersey. We have high confidence in its legitimacy despite some negative consumer feedback regarding billing practices.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The website features a professional corporate layout for a cybersecurity vendor, offering endpoint protection, DNS services, and website security tools. It includes clear contact information, a physical headquarters address, and links to legitimate partner programs.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a reputable IP with no history of abuse reports. It utilizes a Sectigo-issued SSL certificate and integrates with standard enterprise services like Google Tag Manager and HubSpot.

Domain History

Registered in 1998, the domain age of 10,477 days is exceptional. This longevity is inconsistent with phishing or scam operations which typically use fresh domains.

Web Reputation

The site maintains a high reputation score in our internal database. While some independent review sites contain complaints about 'hidden' subscriptions and refund difficulties, these are typical of large-scale software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers and do not indicate a malicious scam operation.

What to do

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on comodo.com and not a lookalike like c-omodo.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on comodo.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • comodo.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 92/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. comodo.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Sectigo Limited · Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA OV R36, expiring in 135 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • comodo.com is 28.7 years old, registered on 10/28/1997 through Gandi SAS. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report comodo.com as clean.
  • No. comodo.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • comodo.com resolves to an IP operated by Vultr Holdings, LLC in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • Yes. comodo.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
