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..

Hey OP. Check your DNS settings after your uninstall. I don’t know if this is still the case but there were reports this browser hijacks DNS by changing where requests are sent to.

I take the opportunity to really tell these guys how I feel about this kind of shit popping up. You want some honesty and how you "value" feedback? Okay, here you go.

For you Windows users. Check out chocolatey.org kind of like apt-get for Windows without stuff like this

With the exception of one machine, I’m fully Linux already. Roughly 20 computers and all Linux. One PC with Windows 7 and a tablet with 10. Special needs for those so they have to stay for the time being. But everything else Linux. Never been happier.

A good chance to tell them how shitty their software is.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Just repeat "I am moving to Linux" over and over again until you reached 30 characters

lol. *uses operating system with built-in firewall* *installs crapware 3rd party firewall*

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I remember Comodo as an antivirus, back when those things were kinda needed on windows XP. Ever since 7, those types of software ended up more as bloat than actual security. They never blocked Baidu

I tried using Comodo software way back in the day. It is incredibly intrusive and even after uninstalling it, I had so many issues with errors and performance hits that I eventually had to reinstall Windows. Never again

On windows is there no other way of uninstalling a program beside their own uninstaller? If so that seems like it would be really easy to abuse.

Yeah Comodo and basically all other free AV or Firewall platforms are just voluntary malware.

Windows has a solid firewall and very good AV with defender already though, so the good news is you don't need any of that third party crap.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I haven't used third party firewalls or AV since Windows 7 or so, especially when these programs started to act more like malware themselves with the constant nagging.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I would uninstall the firewall too, they seem like creeps.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

why would you ever want to use a 3p firewall, especially something like Comodo?
