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..
For you Windows users. Check out chocolatey.org kind of like apt-get for Windows without stuff like this
Shit like this is what lorem ipsum is for.
That or a in depth description of your last bowel movement.
My feedback: fuck you, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Or just fuck you with U repeating till the character limit.
The real question is why you installed sketchy firewall software I've never even heard of.
In the early 2000's Commodo was actually a reputable consumer-grade firewall vendor. Like all security software vendors, they eventually became that which they fought against.
Huh. TIL. So why did they fade away?
Because built in security tools in Windows are much better and free. And enabled by default. Installing 3rd party tools is dumb at the very least.
Windows firewall and defender are hot garbage. It is one of the first thing I disable on a fresh install.
It's better than most, if not all free options, as long as it stays online, which it doesn't really require much data and it's updates are separate from windows updates so you can let defender do its thing while limiting/blocking windows updates.
The online thing is what my issue is. Plus I take my security seriously so I have no issue paying for ESET. I don't trust any free anti virus.
Well, you're just plain wrong.
Look you like fondling Microsoft, go ahead. Don't go around telling people how good it feels. Too many false positive, too much information being sent back to Microsoft. No where near enough personalization or settings. Don't get me started on the firewall. Might as well not have one.
Because they already downloaded all the RAM they could so this is the next logical step.

It also had options (framed as "levels" of ptotection) that would make more of those pop up prompts at completely nonsensical times about nonsense things - like declareing whatever you just tried to run was using a global hook. I had virtualdub up and opened windows notepad and it tried to tell me that virtualdub was using a global hook as if virtualdub was a threat.
In all my years in IT thats still im the top 10 dumbest things I've seen in software even all these years later.

The issue and why it wss stupid wasn't that it was a hook, its that it was attributing it to any app you opened when by definition a global hook is GLOBAL - you do users no gppd by scarinh them into thinking every global hool is malware frpm whatever random thing they ran. Those alert even would trigger on windows notepad. There is no reasom amy comnination of iser options should do this.
That was piss poor design and they evenyually walked it ba k after months of defending it by implying users amd security researchers were stupid on their forum, simce deleted. Its not in the wayback machine or I'd show you. Thier "fans" dogpiled on the topic after thier staff replied condesdingly.

Not a bug exactly - they didn't think it through. To see what I was talking about you'd need a very very old version. Like way back when it was new. It seemed the that it was the developers that didn't know what a global hook was. They were just very obnoxious about it before finally seeing reason and correcting the behaviour. At the time, it woild fire for -every- global hook. To my knowledge you can mo longer reproduce this, but the reaction they had to someone trying to suggest this wasn't right was enough for me to never go near anything under thier brand ever again.
Send them this: Comodo Dragon browser, where do I even begin? Strap in, because this is going to be a wild ride through the depths of disappointment and frustration.
Let's start with the interface. Oh boy, where to even start? It's like they took all the worst design elements from every other browser and threw them together in a blender without bothering to hit the "blend" button. Tabs are scattered haphazardly across the top of the window, buttons are strewn about like confetti at a clown convention, and don't even get me started on the menu layout. It's a maze of confusion that would make even the most seasoned navigators feel like they're lost in the Bermuda Triangle.
But hey, maybe you can overlook the interface if the performance is decent, right? Wrong. Comodo Dragon moves at the speed of a snail stuck in molasses. Pages take ages to load, even on a high-speed connection, and once they finally do, good luck trying to scroll through them without feeling like you're trying to push a boulder up a mountain. It's enough to make you want to throw your computer out the window and go back to using carrier pigeons to communicate.
And then there's the security features. Oh boy, don't even get me started. Supposedly, Comodo Dragon offers top-of-the-line security measures to keep your data safe from prying eyes. But in reality, it's about as effective as putting a "Beware of Dog" sign on a house with a pet goldfish. Malware scanning? Phishing protection? More like wishful thinking and crossed fingers. You'd have better luck protecting your data by writing it on a piece of paper and burying it in your backyard.
But wait, there's more! Let's talk about customization options. Or should I say, lack thereof. Sure, you can change the color scheme or add some fancy themes, but good luck finding anything that actually improves your browsing experience. It's like trying to decorate a dumpster fire with sparklers - no matter how much you try to pretty it up, it's still a dumpster fire.
In conclusion, Comodo Dragon is a dumpster fire of a browser that should be avoided at all costs. Save yourself the headache and stick with something more reliable, like banging two rocks together to communicate. At least then you won't have to deal with the soul-crushing disappointment of trying to use this monstrosity of a browser.
I think it's funny how it says "Uninstall feedback", like ... duh I'm not uninstalling the feedback
Windows ☕
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Conditions met
why would you ever want to use a 3p firewall, especially something like Comodo?
My laptop was bundled with McAffee's garbage software, their uninstaller DOES NOT work. They have a tool to get rid of their software on their website but the links were down and when I finally downloaded it, it didn't fully uninstall it. Revo uninstaller wasn't able to get rid of it either, it's like a rootkit! I was only able to get rid of it by contacting McAffee and talking to their tech support
This is why I install a fresh Windows install anytime I get a new machine. Its super easy to do and only requires a flash drive.
Buy what about the key. Won't someone think of the keys!

If anyone's wondering. The text above is actually a placeholder commonly known as "Lorem Ipsum" and is used in the design and typesetting industry. It doesn't have a specific meaning or translation because it consists of scrambled Latin words and doesn't form coherent sentences.

Just check one of the other bullets.
even better, write the 'never gonna give you up' lyrics. be as useless as possible
I seen people suggesting comments like "fuck you" over and over again, but I would actually reply with an actual lecture on how it's immoral to install a secondary software with a primary software install. Be very explicit.
They'll probably not care about your comments, but at least they'll know why you uninstalled, and have it as a data point. And if enough of their customers do the same thing, then they may change policy about it.
About forcing the need to leave a comment when you're trying to uninstall that secondary software, I think that's happening just because you selected the 'other' option, and unfortunately that's something of a standard with these kind of question dialogs.
Or just admit that you just hit next without looking at what you're are agreeing to. Not hard to pay attention and deselect that option.
