How to handle surreptitious promotions

This question's answer has a couple of comments of a rather suspicious nature which left me with the impression that the author is trying really hard to drive the discussion towards a certain product. And indeed, a short search revealed that he is seemingly affiliated with the mentioned company. As neither the question nor any answers mention the syscomgroup's stuff directly, I wondered how such cases are handled.

  1. should I just comment upon the question, downvote it and leave it as a memorial?
  2. should I flag it for moderation attention?
  3. should I vote to close it with some obscure reason?

For now I opted for 1. but I am open to suggestions to do otherwise.
