How to remove
Uninstall COMODO Internet Security 2017
from Windows

I used COMODO Internet Security 2017 from the time it was released, but I’ve noticed that my computer behaves strangely (displays pop-ups, redirects me to dodgy websites, etc.) even tough the web protection is on.

I tried to remove it, but it keeps reinstalling somehow. I see it in Program Files and User Data. I tried to delete it in Safe Mode, but it still won’t go away. What am I doing wrong?

COMODO Internet Security 2017 is an anti-virus tool developed and distributed by Comodo Group, Inc. It is depicted as a multi-layered security application, which combines antivirus protection, filtering firewall, advanced host intrusion prevention,[ref en-1] and automatic sandboxing[ref en-2] of unknown files.

The full anti-virus version with both removal and protection features can be downloaded from the official website for free. Nevertheless, people can purchase a Pro version for $27.99 per year and receive live expert virus removal service and exclusive Virus-Free Guarantee. Additionally, users can also opt for a Complete version for $ 89.99/year, which includes 50GB Online Storage & Backup and 10GB TrustConnect WiFi Security.

Judging from people’s reports related to COMODO Internet Security, the tool usually meet people’s expectations. However, those who opt for COMODO removal may face some difficulties.

Be aware that internet security software is essential in order to stay safe online. Therefore, do not leave your computer unprotected at any time during when you are switching to a different application, i.e., once you uninstall the program make sure you replace it with something else immediately.
