Hello hiro,

This as always been known, and if users who install the firewall do not know this, then they obviously dont take note of the popups during installation:-

But, as I have mentioned, if no e-mail is entered, and the option "Sign me up" is unchecked, I do not see any attempt by the firewall to connect out.

Again, this just shows an ID is made. This does not mean that the Vendor is then going to "Track you". If this was the case, then we should also look at all other firewalls that have a "Unique ID", which they have, they are called a "License". We would also need to look at windows itself, the AV`s we install, and anything else that has a license(Unique ID) that connects to the internet.
This only shows that an ID is generated, nothing else.

Thank you Stem!
If anyone is to be believed here, it is certainly you, not the Spreader of FUD - hiro.
hiro - You are posting crap on Wilder Security Forums, and that is not welcome here. You really need to leave now!
People - I am definitely not the biggest supporter of Comodo around, but, I do NOT believe this FUD at all, and I encourage you all to reject it, as well!! (I'm talking about any of their software products doing any illicit tracking. Whether they use Google Analytics or not on their website is not the issue. Tens of thousands of sites use that. But, no reputable vendor codes tracking calls into their firewall software - Comodo included!)
I totally and completely doubt they are tracking everyone in the way Hiro has posted. I encourage everyone to read the threads over at the Comodo forums, and draw your own conclusions which I believe will tell you that they are not bad people at all. 
hiro - take your FUD to some other place on the Internet.

对于所谓的证据,Stem给予了有力的反驳。
对于整个事件,Wilders的管理员做了总结。
对于FUD 的散布者,下场就是封号,
