Constant Guard From Xfinity Not So Hot


I got an email from Comcast touting their Constant Guard security package.   It’s free so I thought I would download and try it.   If you are interested just go to www.comcast.net and click on security. 


It downloaded and installed OK.   It asked a lot of questions and then had me reboot.   Interestingly after I rebooted, neither Firefox or ie9 would open.   Now I admit Comcast’s blurb about their wonderful security software sounded interesting but…

If it is so disruptive out of the box, what happens when it is entrenched?  I uninstalled it and will continue to use the variety of protection software  that have served me well.  

Alas, another disappointing experience with Comcast.

I went to START
Control Panel
Programs and Features

If that doesn't work you can always go to ZDnet.com, download cccleaner which is crap cleaner and install it. It will give you the ability to clean up your computer and under it's tools option is an uninstall feature that works very well.
Good luck!
