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 seen people suggesting comments like “fuck you” over and over again, but I would actually reply with an actual lecture on how it’s immoral to install a secondary software with a primary software install. Be very explicit.

    They’ll probably not care about your comments, but at least they’ll know why you uninstalled, and have it as a data point. And if enough of their customers do the same thing, then they may change policy about it.

    About forcing the need to leave a comment when you’re trying to uninstall that secondary software, I think that’s happening just because you selected the ‘other’ option, and unfortunately that’s something of a standard with these kind of question dialogs.

      Or just admit that you just hit next without looking at what you’re are agreeing to. Not hard to pay attention and deselect that option.
