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..

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

[–] dilligasatall@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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.

I'm sure that would be illegal in the EU

I thought about using comodo firewall a while back, but their software just seems so shady..

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I wonder how much of their business has been absolutely ham-fucked by Let's Encrypt.

Instant wildcard SSLs for free vs. 100 or so a year from Comodo - every year.

I'll just choose the first option in such situations if I'm not given a chance to skip.

I think it's funny how it says "Uninstall feedback", like ... duh I'm not uninstalling the feedback

[–] GamerBoy705@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

If I was to be forced to write that, maybe the people that read the feedback will either have a blast or be disgusted, lol.

Is there no other way to purge the software? Doesn't Windows offer any alternate means to purge software, apart from wiping the drive clean?

[–] Martinligabue@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Windows doesn't manage installed applications, only those from the Store, but you can still manually go to the installation folder and remove it.

just spam it with fuck yous

I feel like "Your software is bad and you should feel bad about it" covers most bases.

[–] Hobo@lzrprt.sbs 4 points 1 year ago

Just name over 30 characters from tv shows or movies.

[–] ssm@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wouldn't trust that uninstaller to actually uninstall any of the malware that "firewall" installed. Purge the program directories manually.

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_do_not_agree@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.
