Default Uninstalling Comodo Firewall.

For any one who is having trouble with the Comodo personal firewall, it appears it can be hell on wheels to uninstall it. Basically it won't go away without a fight, there is a very useful article here on Comodo's own forum. Beware, it is long and complicated to do, and may not always work.
If you have Comodo personal firewall and it is working correctly, be thankful.

The method I used:

* Disconnected from the Internet.
* Ran the regular uninstall tool.
* Rebooted.
* Searched the disk for 'Comodo' and manually deleted anything found.
* Used Regseeker's 'Find in Registry' function to seek out Comodo entries and deleted any found.
* Used the tool that TOOLS has linked to, just to be sure (although that probably could have been used instead of some of the above steps).

No sign of Comodo on the system after that. Very important (I believe) to remove all traces of old security programs before installing anything new of a similar nature.

Note: The above use of RegSeeker makes changes to the Registry. The usual cautions apply. Always make a backup of the Registry before making any changes.
