Please note - the following instructions may be considered a "brute force" removal. If you are not comfortable editing your registry or with ANY steps outlined below, DO NOT CONTINUE.
Comodo are not responsible for this procedure or any consequences from its use. I've done this off my own bat, but also don't wear any responsibility for any consequences of running these steps on your PC.
These steps are purely for informational purposes only. Use at your own risk.
Whew! With that out of the way, there's no reason for this to screw anything up. It's a series of file deletions and registry removals. It's definitely not 100%, there will still be class entries (among others) left behind, but these should be picked up by most registry cleaning utilities.
******************************************
You can manually remove it by following these steps;
1. CTRL - ALT - DEL to bring up task manager. Click PROCESSES, locate CLPtray.exe and END it.
1a. Launch Pad should now disappear from the system tray.
2. Delete the C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMODO\LAUNCH PAD folder
2a. Executable now gone.
3. Click START - RUN and type in MSCONFIG. Click the STARTUP tab, locate the startup entry for CLPTRAY.EXE and unselect it. Click OK but don't reboot your PC yet.
3a. Startup entry for Launch Pad gone.
4. Click START - RUN and type in REGEDIT. Click on the VERY TOP entry in the left hand column (My Computer). Navigate to HKLM-SOFTWARE. Since you no longer wish to use any Comodo products, you can simply delete the following two keys form the left hand pane - COMODO and COMODOGROUP. Then navigate to HKLM-SYSTEM and delete the COMODO key from the left hand pane. Navigate to HKCU-Software and delete the COMODO and COMODOGROUP keys.
4a. Entries responsible for starting Launch Pad are now gone (along with other Comodo related keys).
5. Exit REGEDIT and reboot your PC.
5a. MSConfig should appear after the PC has rebooted but Launch Pad should not.
You should now tidy up your Start menu and or desktop to remove comodo related entries.
