You can't uninstall this software without being forced to participate in their survey

cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/1576052

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 would literally copy paste the uncle fucker song from South Park bigger longer and uncut into that reply box

Rolive,

And now that is playing in my head. Thanks I guess.

I would just paste "fuck you" until it hit their minimum.

corey389,

Why would you install a program like that? The name alone sounds like malware. Anyways windows has a default firewall that works good and does the job, and your router is a hardware firewall that blocks all unsolicited packets too your local network.

I feel mostly indifferent about not being able to delete an app without providing feedback to the reason(s).

But to provide feedback to delete an app that was installed for you WITHOUT your knowledge…mate! Not okay!

I just type in 30 space where it’s possible. Otherwise 30 ps

One of the many benefits of a package manager

Adalast,

Revo Uninstaller. Free. Amazing. I have had stuff like this before and I just run the advanced uninstall. When this BS comes up I kill the software uninstaller process and let Revo take over. It scans the entire hard drive and registry for things “leftover” by the uninstaller. I have used it to eliminate so much corporate ransomware (cough, McAfee) and prevent shit software from shittier companies from self-reinstalling.

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff Done 👍

Write a suicide note blaming them.

That’s one way to get at least 30 characters worth of expletives.

An ‘f’, 27 'u’s, a ‘c’ and a ‘k’.
