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…

I think even then, they’d recognize fast that it’s just fake text. For maximum impact, get an LLM to generate a long winded but realistic sounding response. It’ll probably be obvious eventually that it was an LLM because their writing style is so distinct, but it takes much longer to recognize.

They would probably experience my swear word vocabulary in very, very graphic and vulgar ways.
That or a in depth description of your last bowel movement.
I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

Comodo Dragon Browser, much like the mythical chameleon, adapts to the whims of its user, offering a myriad of features and customization options. From tab management to ad-blockers, from password managers to incognito modes, the browser is a cornucopia of digital tools that empowers the user with a sense of control.

This is flippin great actually xD
Babe wake up, new copypasta just dropped
Epic choice
There once was a browser called Comodo
That promised to be fast and modo
But it was so slow and full of woe
That it made its users go loco
Someone made a ChatGPT lemmy bot, forgot the username though lol. Would’ve been handy to ask it…
The real question is why you installed sketchy firewall software I’ve never even heard of.
In the early 2000’s Commodo was actually a reputable consumer-grade firewall vendor. Like all security software vendors, they eventually became that which they fought against.
Create the problem, sell the solution
Huh. TIL. So why did they fade away?
Because built in security tools in Windows are much better and free. And enabled by default. Installing 3rd party tools is dumb at the very least.
Especially free ones that aren’t FOSS… 😂
Windows firewall and defender are hot garbage. It is one of the first thing I disable on a fresh install.
It’s better than most, if not all free options, as long as it stays online, which it doesn’t really require much data and it’s updates are separate from windows updates so you can let defender do its thing while limiting/blocking windows updates.
The online thing is what my issue is. Plus I take my security seriously so I have no issue paying for ESET. I don’t trust any free anti virus.
If you have serious security needs, yeah paying for a proper one makes sense, I’m not denying that. Just for the 99% of people who don’t need beefy security, defender is better than everything else free, and you were already giving your data to microsoft anyway so you might as well get some benefit from it. Defender is actually quite effective, and it has been since W10 at least.
Well, you’re just plain wrong.
Look you like fondling Microsoft, go ahead. Don’t go around telling people how good it feels. Too many false positive, too much information being sent back to Microsoft. No where near enough personalization or settings. Don’t get me started on the firewall. Might as well not have one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIaNZXgDtRU Here’s a documentary on a similar security company.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=yIaNZXgDtRU
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Wait did the Comodo guy also go crazy and kill a guy in Belize?
😂
Because you’re too young to remember a time when Comodo was a decent firewall option for Windows XP.
Because they already downloaded all the RAM they could so this is the next logical step.

It also had options (framed as “levels” of ptotection) that would make more of those pop up prompts at completely nonsensical times about nonsense things - like declareing whatever you just tried to run was using a global hook. I had virtualdub up and opened windows notepad and it tried to tell me that virtualdub was using a global hook as if virtualdub was a threat.
In all my years in IT thats still im the top 10 dumbest things I’ve seen in software even all these years later.
deleted by creator
The issue and why it wss stupid wasn’t that it was a hook, its that it was attributing it to any app you opened when by definition a global hook is GLOBAL - you do users no gppd by scarinh them into thinking every global hool is malware frpm whatever random thing they ran. Those alert even would trigger on windows notepad. There is no reasom amy comnination of iser options should do this.
That was piss poor design and they evenyually walked it ba k after months of defending it by implying users amd security researchers were stupid on their forum, simce deleted. Its not in the wayback machine or I’d show you. Thier “fans” dogpiled on the topic after thier staff replied condesdingly.
deleted by creator
Not a bug exactly - they didn’t think it through. To see what I was talking about you’d need a very very old version. Like way back when it was new. It seemed the that it was the developers that didn’t know what a global hook was. They were just very obnoxious about it before finally seeing reason and correcting the behaviour. At the time, it woild fire for -every- global hook. To my knowledge you can mo longer reproduce this, but the reaction they had to someone trying to suggest this wasn’t right was enough for me to never go near anything under thier brand ever again.
Comodo was reputable for quite a while
Similar to McAfee.
McAfee was reputable but trash from damn near the get go… Same as Norton
For many years comodo firewall and AV were one of the best, least obtrusive and consistently did well in detection charts etc.
Then I stopped using Windows so no idea what they are like now
I’ve seen a quick video about it on YouTube from a reputable Windows security YouTuber. Can’t remember which exactly, probably “ThioJoe” or “The PC Security Channel”. I wrote the softwares name down a long time ago and decided to give it a try today.
That’s a mistake, always gotta be updated when it comes to these things and look up recent videos for suggestions instead. If you haven’t already, make sure to delete everything comodo related from every nook and corner.
People are telling me it used to be a big thing in the 2000’s. No hate intended here.
Yeah, they should’ve asked you about it first! Duh!

What makes you think this? There’s no “Right to uninstall software”.

They lost? Do you have a source? I don’t think you can downgrade e.g iOS 16 to 14 on supported devices?
You could fill the report with loads of sensitive personal information and then report them…
…for handling information that you volunteered?
Doesn’t matter if you volunteered it, they still have to treat it responsibly.
Wait a minute, you’re saying that in every web input field I develop, I have to create checks to make sure the entered value isn’t personal data? Boy, that will add quite a bit of work.
If you hold any data about people in Europe then that falls under GDPR, regardless of what the data is. It does get more complex if they data is sensitive or confidential.
I’ll defend everybody’s right to run Arch or Manjaro then they are in full control of what software runs on their kernel.

Navy SEAL copy pasta.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Now do Vaporeon.
Exactly what my first thought was, but I’d just paste the whole thing in again, just for good measure.
Isn’t the option above “other”, “I don’t want to use it” or something along those lines? just tick that? Never found these to be that annoying. Just pick at random and be done with it.
Get yer logic outta here! This is an outrage post!

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.
