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

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'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.

People are telling me it used to be a big thing in the 2000's. No hate intended here.

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.
