Well, that would've worked too, but then I would have had some explaining to do!

With power comes responsibility. Perhaps it's time to abuse both. <evil grin="">

I managed to get out of the role as the IT guy a when smart phones & pads appeared:
1. act dumber then the source person when handed a phone/pad to be fixed ('how do you get to main screen')
2. point at somebody half your age using a similar device doing all sorts of magic (like taking a picture of his lunch) and tell the original person to see them
...in honesty that's not all BS, how fast and what kids can do with those things twiddling one thumb is streets past my skills using all my digits - sometimes takes me more than a few pokes just to hit the right spot on the tiny little screen even when I go full-on serious and take off my glasses,... mutter mutter ... stupid smart sh*t, bring back the rotary

Many moons ago installed comodo antivir on a win2k machine, about 1 month later uninstalled it (slowing too much). But it never really properly uninstalled, left crap everywhere (files, temp folder logs, registry, seven system folders that time). Couldn't even re-install it to re-try the official uninstaller, ever - uninstall helper utilities couldn't suck it out either.
Never trusted the dodo again.
This week (Wed), W7 box, client request 'take a look at comodo backup', OK, their choice (their box)
late afternoon, install - ok,
hey, it's almost 4:30pm, well past time to go home (reboot to be sure install complete ...)
next day (teamv) try it out, schedules etc, seemed - ok, but missing features wanted,
uninstall, binge watch some shows, quick teamv connect to check no errors, reboot, go to bed
Sat, bored, start download of another backup software, doing a little file housekeeping,
helloo, comodo log file in temp: kill ... "file in use," ... What!!
task manager - yup, comodo services running,
kill, kill, take ownership of Program Files directory (coz the scrambled the perms), delete,
registry - also full of comodo crap, virtual disk, file formats, services (again scrambled perms), delete
And now I know why so many people "like" comdodo's crap ware...
... it's because they don't have the skill set to remove it, and so being stuck in place they just pretend it's fine.
It's like removing blood from carpet. (Remember: lay plastic before taking the shot).
What a huge POS; never again! Even if asked by nice people giving me money I'll say no (in official speak "out of scope.").

This from the above link:

Achieved same result (kill services rather then reboot twice - hammers vs screwdrivers),
Point was why the dodo uninstallers do such a piss poor job?
Yeah I know many uninstallers leave little bits of fluff here and there,
but dodo leaves huge steaming piles of ...

I got rid of them very soon after they decided to install their "ultra-safe" browser on my machines without so much as a "by your leave" or "kiss my @rse".
Mind, I'll grant that it was ultra safe -- the few times I tried to start it (each time on a different machine), it froze immediately, then crashed. No way could any malicious web-page infect my boxes then, eh?

He's still not very active.
I would have expected at least a little activity every day.

Fresh pasta, pesto, lasagna, cacciatore, pizza come vuoi, salsicci veri, diavolati, verdure fresche da moririe. ecc, ecc, ecc.
And you'd go for macdonalds!
What a world!
I want to go somewhere else, too.

And costs about the same as a Big Cr@p Mac meal.

Not the ones I've had.
Still worth the difference though.
