How to Remove Comodo Firewall
Comodo Free Firewall is a tool to help assist in the never-ending battle between nice friendly data and evil virus data. Should you decide to look elsewhere for third-party firewall protection and uninstall Comodo, traces will remain in your computer registry. In addition, the actual firewall may still be recognized by Windows Security Center and you might experience a choppy Internet connection. But you could say goodbye to Comodo for good by following these instructions.
