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.

I think even then, they’d recognize fast that it’s just fake text. For maximum impact, get an LLM to generate a long winded but realistic sounding response. It’ll probably be obvious eventually that it was an LLM because their writing style is so distinct, but it takes much longer to recognize.

I think it’s funny how it says “Uninstall feedback”, like … duh I’m not uninstalling the feedback
why would you ever want to use a 3p firewall, especially something like Comodo?
My feedback: fuck you, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
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!
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.
Just check one of the other bullets.
even better, write the ‘never gonna give you up’ lyrics. be as useless as possible
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.
