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 you install a program like that? The name alone sounds like malware. Anyways windows has a default firewall that works good and does the job, and your router is a hardware firewall that blocks all unsolicited packets too your local network.
