I initially only installed "Comodo Firewall" but for some reason they also installed a "Comodo Dragon Browser", which I did not consent to. I always choose the "advanced" installation to uncheck bloatware, but in this case there was none and when you try to uninstall the browser, they force you to participate in their survey otherwise you won't be able to uninstall the software..

If you are really angry at them, you should just write "I've switched to Norton/McAfee/other competitor for [ridiculous but plausible reasons]", depending on your creativity.

They definitely will read these and debate them since it's likely a corporate initiative from the top down.

I'm glad this era of software is over. I'm really far from full stallman approval but I still never have a reason to install software like this anymore.

I wouldn't trust that uninstaller to actually uninstall any of the malware that "firewall" installed. Purge the program directories manually.

I would have used Revo Uninstaller - the free version to remove it. After it runs the uninstaller it finds registry and file items left behind by the uninstaller.

I had Comodo installed once, about 14 years ago. I had the immediate feeling that it's malware only. There is no protection, just annoying stuff that digs deep into your system, making it vulnerable.

Isnt this the standard for alot of software?

[–] Merulox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Isn't it that they don't wanna get spammed with BS under 30 characters and didn't think to leave out a "None of these answers" checkbox?

[–] SJ_Zero@lemmy.fbxl.net 2 points 1 year ago

"no" followed by 28 null characters and a small code payload that'll crash their server (ok won't work but it'd be funny)

“This software installer is almost as good as the one I used back in 1998 when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.”

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

get your own act.

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Comodo was pimping a free RMM that they claimed or implied rivaled Kaseya for a while back in 2016ish...

I don't think they're a trustworthy company though.
