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’m half surprised that you can’t force uninstall from windows, I guess it’s due to MS requiring software to provide its own uninstaller

    apt uninstall <blah>

    doesn’t mess around

          And whatever menus and shortcuts, which are usually cleaned up by the uninstaller

        Even with the uninstaller with some shady software (Wondershare, CCleaner, antivirus softwares for example) the registry entries is still there
