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..
That’s one way to get at least 30 characters worth of expletives.
An 'f', 27 'u's, a 'c' and a 'k'.
Other arrangements are available.
No it's 7 f's 12 u's.
Like the old school rage comic?
I'm glad someone got it.
Revo Uninstaller. Free. Amazing. I have had stuff like this before and I just run the advanced uninstall. When this BS comes up I kill the software uninstaller process and let Revo take over. It scans the entire hard drive and registry for things "leftover" by the uninstaller. I have used it to eliminate so much corporate ransomware (cough, McAfee) and prevent shit software from shittier companies from self-reinstalling.
Write a suicide note blaming them.
sudo dpkg -P stupidprogram Done.
One of the many benefits of a package manager
I would literally copy paste the uncle fucker song from South Park bigger longer and uncut into that reply box
And now that is playing in my head. Thanks I guess.
Copy paste a bunch of Lorem Ipsum and you're done
I would just paste "fuck you" until it hit their minimum.
Why would you install a program like that? The name alone sounds like malware. Anyways windows has a default firewall that works good and does the job, and your router is a hardware firewall that blocks all unsolicited packets too your local network.
I feel mostly indifferent about not being able to delete an app without providing feedback to the reason(s).
But to provide feedback to delete an app that was installed for you WITHOUT your knowledge...mate! Not okay!
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff Done 👍
