Re: Comodo DNS vs OpenDNS..... I have no dog in this fight, and I only care about making an accurate assessment of risk. I am seriously open to input (I'm considering a code-signing cert from Comodo).
My suspicion: they offer domain-validated certs cheaper than others, so they get lots of interest... including from the bad guys. I don't have any evidence that they have done anything to encourage the bad guys in particular, other than offering a product that the broad market finds attractive.
I don't know anything about the Boclean matter, and (as a disinterested party) am not sure I'd care all that much.

I don't have a code-signing certificate from Comodo, but I (and several clients) do have web server certificates from Comodo, and in each case only a temporary 30 day certificate was initially issued until Comodo checked to verify the validity of the applicant. In my case, I know that they contacted D&B because I got a heads up from them that Comodo had made an inquiry.
I think most of the animosity from some of the regulars here and in other "security" forums is due to dissatisfaction with some of the Comodo PC software. I don't have a dog in that fight either since I have never used any of their PC software.
