Comodo Internet Security: Custom Uninstaller2.0.0.3

Antiviruses and similar security suites crawl deeply into a system to allow real-time monitoring and deep cleaning in case of malware infections. Therefore, uninstalling them the old-fashioned way using the Control Panel might leave traces behind. To avoid such issues, security companies usually create dedicated uninstallers for their applications, which allows you to remove the setup files and the registry entries securely. The so-called Comodo Internet Security: Custom Uninstaller is an uninstaller dedicated to Comodo products, which recognizes Comodo Internet Security, Comodo Antivirus, and Comodo Firewall.

Creates a restore point before proceeding with data removal

It is recommended by Comodo itself that you create a backup of your system or the most important files before using the uninstaller. On the other hand, the application creates a restore point before removing any data so, should anything go wrong, you can quickly restore a previous Windows configuration.The uninstaller's interface is boringly simple, as you are presented with a panel for instructions and the action log, and a plain "Scan" button. Comodo Internet Security: Custom Uninstaller analyzes the entire system and looks for the default installation directory of any of the supported Comodo products. If any of the aforementioned software is found, it then prompts you for confirmation that you want to clean both setup files and registry data.

Removes setup files and registry data for Comodo products

Comodo Internet Security: Custom Uninstaller starts by removing application shortcuts and installed services, installed drivers, symbolic links, MSI components, and scheduled tasks of the Comodo product.Furthermore, it searches deeply into the system's registry, and it removes registry hives of the Comodo products, as well as Security Center entries and installation files. Normally, two system restarts are required to complete the operation.
