    Hi, I was looking to purchase a security certificate from
    http://instantssl.com/, but I don't want to waste money on a
    certificate if they're not one of my browser's default trusted
    authorities. They told me,

    "We are included in IE as an intermediate certificate friendly name
    being Comodo Class 3 Security Services"

    Does anyone have them as a trusted authority? I have checked my IE 6
    settings on both my Win2000 machine and WinXP at work, and I cannot
    find them. I used these steps to check trusted authorities on IE:

    tools -> Internet Options
    Then Select the Content tab
    There is a Certificates section
    select Certificates...
    Select Intermediate certificate authorities and Trusted root
    certificate authorities

    Appreciate your insight, - Dave
