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..

Well you can, just delete the entire folder and you're done

But that often leaves behind the registry entries which may or may not cause problems.

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
