Upon launching Comodo Dragon (Version 36.1.1.21) on two of my desktop machines today, I was greeted with a Comodo-related Windows UAC prompt, which, when I OK’d it, led to a Dragon Setup window I’d never seen before that required the acceptance of a “Comodo Secure Browser End User License Agreement”. What’s this all about?
I’ve been using Dragon for a long time now, through various updates, and have never encountered this before. And I’ve been unable to find any info elsewhere that fully explains what this is, why it’s appearing now, and why I’m required to accept it in order to simply use a browser.
Thank you, Shane. One more question: Would I be correct in assuming that, given what you’ve said about there being no EULA notification associated with future (v.43) updates, that these same future updates will not involve a Windows UAC prompt? I ask that because I regard any UAC prompt that occurs spontaneously (i.e., I’ve done nothing to trigger it) as a “red flag”, and so would hope that Comodo Dragon will not be triggering these UAC prompts in the future.
Well . . . there’s always something. After reading Shane’s explanations (earlier in this thread), I closed and relaunched my CD browser, expecting to see the same Windows UAC prompt, which I intended to accept, and the Comodo EULA prompt, which I also intended to accept. However, nothing happened, on both of my computers, each of which had prompted me with these windows several times just prior to my initial post here. So, I decided to check for updates manually, again, on both computers. When I did that, the update check was not successful, on both computers. Instead, I received the message “unexpected error”.
Why did this happen? And what would be the best way to proceed now?
