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…
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 use what they call the ‘cmd trick’ and it’s never not worked.
Wtf, this sound super sketchy to me…
Many people have noted how the McAfee virus scanner itself behaves like a virus.
If they didn’t do this they could no longer exist.
