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..

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.

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.

Send them 30gig of characters

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.

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 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.

That's when you just list all the swear words you can think of

"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."

That's what I would say

Comodo was pimping a free RMM that they claimed or implied rivaled Kaseya for a while back in 2016ish...

I don't think they're a trustworthy company though.

Isn't it that they don't wanna get spammed with BS under 30 characters and didn't think to leave out a "None of these answers" checkbox?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

"no" followed by 28 null characters and a small code payload that'll crash their server (ok won't work but it'd be funny)

Isnt this the standard for alot of software?

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.

“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.”

I'd type something like "Eat my nuts nuts nuts nuts nuts nuts nuts". Is that 30 characters?
