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…
Why would they need you to send a message to collect your IP? They can send any request to their servers. Plus, what can they do with the public IP? Just know your general location, that’s it. It’s not like it tells them exactly where you live.
