You can't uninstall this software without being forced to participate in their survey
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..
My feedback: fuck you, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Isn't the option above "other", "I don't want to use it" or something along those lines? just tick that? Never found these to be that annoying. Just pick at random and be done with it.
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
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.
"I had the misfortune to come across a leaked video of your CEO <Google name> having some really questionable sexual intercourse with a really sketchy character, and it was truly disgusting. I can not in good conscience support a company led by such a horrible individual"
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.
The dumbest part about this is that if you force people to complete it, they’re more likely to select a random option and click “next”. Any information they get from this survey will be mostly useless.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Reply with The software's uninstallation process was flawless, just like its existence. It left no trace, reminding me of an imaginary friend's departure.
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 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 was just trying to install this bloatware but now that I'm forced to provide feedback about software I didn't want in the first place, I'm now going to uninstall all of your software and no longer be your customer."
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 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.
“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.”
If you insist on using an inferior operating system that lets third-party software manage its own uninstallation instead of having the system-provided package manager control it, you're gonna have a bad time.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic, he could save others from death, but not himself.
Am I missing something? The user selected Other; of course there will be required input. Select one of the other options that doesn't require user input.
