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.

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.

That's good, I've always got plenty of feedback, when presented with this kind of bullshit.

[-] GamerBoy705@lemmy.world 3 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.

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.

"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)

[-] Asashin420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Isnt this the standard for alot of software?

"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

[-] Merulox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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?
