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…

    Of course that you can delete all the files and folders of the program, but firewalls and such operate on a quite low level and fining all the files is a pain in the ass

      There’s also registry entries, and I imagine some of the files installed as part of a firewall end up as essential for a working network connection because they’re registered as such.
