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.

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

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.

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

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

Years ago I used to use Comodo, but quit because each update felt like one step closer to sketchiness from them. I ended up finding Simplewall on github, (a nice, simple, straight to the point firewall) and never looked back.
