Chromodo ... Installed Comodo AV to a system and noticed this alt browser

[DaveLembke]

So I installed Comodo AV to a system because AVG is only available through installing a cnet downloader service etc and I dont want to have to install a downloader to download what should be a direct download.

Noticed that Comodo has a Chromodo browser. Also it rounded up Firefox and IE and placed them as sandbox browsers in the interface on the top right of the desktop.

Is this Chromodo any good or is it just Google Chrome with heightened security settings? To me it looks like Comodo slapped their name on Chrome.

Found this link on google search of others who think the name is a joke and other browsers that Comodo should add their name to http://malwaretips.com/threads/chromodo-browser.41749/

Found this wiki that speaks highly of the browser and differences between itself and chrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comodo_Dragon

"Chromodo Browser is a fast and versatile Internet Browser based on Chromium technology and infused with Comodo's unparalleled level of security."

(Chromium is an open source browser family on which the commercial, closed source Google Chrome is based)

Direct link (Googled "AVG free not Cnet", took me to Techspot,  http://www.techspot.com/downloads/43-avg-anti-virus-free-edition.html )

http://files-download.avg.com/inst/av/avg_free_x86_all_2015_ltst_222.exe

That exe seems to be a standalone installer. To avoid bloatware, do the usual things, i.e.  choose "Basic protection" and "Custom install".

Thanks Salmon for your help with getting AVG without the cnet mess 

Also saved the link to bookmarks in case I need to get another copy later on.
