How to Remove Comodo Firewall

How to Remove Comodo Firewall thumbnail
Comodo Firewall is a great free tool, but it can leave a lot of traces of itself behind.

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.

Instructions

      Navigate to the "Start" menu and select "Run." In the Run dialog, type "services.msc" (without quotes) and click "OK." The Services dialog opens. Scroll down to locate the Windows Management Instrumentation. Right-click it and select "Stop" from the pop-up menu.

      Close Windows Explorer. Navigate to the "Start" menu and select "Run." In the Run dialog, type "services.msc" (without quotes) and click "OK." The Services dialog opens. Scroll down to locate the Windows Management Instrumentation. Right-click it and select "Start" from the pop-up menu. Now restart your computer. Upon reboot, Comodo will no longer be listed as a firewall option in Windows Security Center. To fully clean out registry entries, download and run a registry cleaner, such as CCleaner (piriform.com/ccleaner/download).
