i think the user should be allowed to change themes.

Thanks in advance kind sir

I just updated and my theme didn't change - I got it from the Chrome Web Store - maybe it won't let you change if it's a fresh install (?)

It does not give you the option to change in the settings menu.

I've been using Dragon instead of Iron, from SRWare, but, it seems that will now change, as I dislike being told what I can and can't have, especially since the Chromium Project has made theming the browser one of the many features.

I've also noticed that I have fewer problems with extensions that do not work. [Knowing a bit about programming allows me to know that all the problems I've had with extensions not working properly are not because of security, but because of either programmer laziness at Comodo, or a need to overtly control the users. I don't like to be micromanaged on MY computer, which is why I have resisted many of the Microsoft changes, until their shortsighted programming decisions could be ameliorated, or removed.]

I'll revisit the forums, to see when [or if]  things change for the better, but until then, I'll remain with SRWare's Iron as my secondary browser, with Opera being my number 1.

For those customers which I've installed Dragon, I'll simply do the next upgrade to Iron, with the theming and extensions they currently have, and explain why the changes were necessary.

Thumbs up for the BRILLIANT boss

Dear EricJH - every mortal can do mistakes - even people from "Commodo" - "human factor". I'm just trying to understand - which way be better - ignore the warnings and proceed with installation, or take care ? By the way - the installlation process looks strange itself - very suspicious that installation program choose directory such as "windows\temp"; directory like "C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Temp" looks more common. So which I can do ?

First, make sure you download the installer directly from the Comodo website (or this forum). Do not download it from any other site.

Second, I am using Avast and SuperAntiSpyware, none of them flag the installer as suspicious, that is why I have switched from AVG 3 years ago (I just installed a portable version of CD 18.3 to test how it prevents theme changing).

Automatic updated automatically UNINSTALLED Dragon 18.2 18.1 while I was out at lunch, but did not reinstall anything.

Came back to a PC with no default browser set. Posting from Firefox.

Dragon desktop icon removed, nothing left in Program Files/Comodo/Dragon except:

avcodec-53.dll 05/05/2012 4:28am 1,075KB
dragon_updater.exe 04/13/2012 6:59am 400KB
restart_helper.exe 05/04/2012 4:28am  134KB
wow_helper.exe 05/05/2012 4:28am 72KB

system time is US MDT (UTC-0600)

Nice job, Comodo. NOT. A failed install should never delete the previous version.

PC did not reboot, no dragon_updater process running, no dragon_exe process running. I had left Dragon open when I went out to lunch.

Secure private residence, nobody was in here. Automatically updated CIS too, so nobody got in that way unless you let them in.

Don't ask me to post more details on a bug report; you've inconvenienced me enough today by destroying my browser setup.

I just ran the installer and did not see reported it was using c:\windows\temp folder.

Can you check the digital signature of the installer and if it is intact? In case you want to do a hash check with the installer here is th SHA-1 hash: 99BE59C36DD055C66F3C95CCC3F4FBBFC5D83B1C .

At MarkXS. Usually when uninstalling the profile information does not get deleted. Try installing Dragon and it will pick up the profile information. This is only true if you did not do an installation for a portable version because then you would have had the profile information in the installation folder.

I just ran the installer and did not see reported it was using c:\windows\temp folder.

From the logs of Defense+, the dragon updater created the following file: C:\WINDOWS\Temp\ComodoLogsFolders\dragon_updater.exe.log

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it is usual when installing/updating Dragon.

[Dunstan]

At first - many thanks to all of yours, who trying to help me.

I was download the installer twice - first time from www.comodo.com and second using the built-into browser updater - it was created file in the "%user%\AppData\temp" directory. And, like Boris 3 wrote, installer make such log file and subdirectory in "windows\temp" directory.

Digital signatures in both files are:

and so on, many digits and keys.

So - what I can do the next ? Any suggestions ?

[EricJH]

Did the signature check the signature is OK? See attached image for reference.

At Boris. I only did a superficial check of what the installer. That means I may have missed it when it only showed briefly.

At Dunstan. In case the installer was compromised then CIS would have alerted you with a D+ alert asking for Unlimited Access to your system. If you have not received such alert it was an uncompromised installer.
