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…

    Yeah Comodo and basically all other free AV or Firewall platforms are just voluntary malware.

    Windows has a solid firewall and very good AV with defender already though, so the good news is you don’t need any of that third party crap.

      I haven’t used third party firewalls or AV since Windows 7 or so, especially when these programs started to act more like malware themselves with the constant nagging.
