    Reading the borncity blog articles - does that mean that everybody here has Comodo Internet Security installed on their Win10 machines? And if so that you can get rid of sedlauncher and such after installing another, non-Comodo internet security or firewall?

    I don't, as it comes with advertisement and is a moderate strain on your performance if you don't own a high-end PC. Worse, upon a false positive,  you get spammed out of your mind by "Geek Buddy" advertisements offering you to deal with the threat for $24,99. And, if like me you're into (legit) nostalgiaware, you're in for 2 or 3 false positives per hour.

    I got rid of sedlauncher.exe the same way I do with all Microsoft spyware:

    -Kill all relevant tasks in the task manager;

    -Assume ownership of the .exe;

    -Give yourself full control;

    -Delete the .exe;

    -Have CCleaner go over the loose ends in the registry;

    -Repeat next month when Microsoft will illicitly reinstall said spyware without your knowledge nor consent.
