It only pops up in a browser.

Thanks.

Hi Andy go into Google and type in Remove COMCAST's Constant guard .
You should find something to help you.
It will probably need to be removed in SAFE mode.

I already did that.

If I knew the name of the executable, I could delete it.

OK. Andy. restart your machine in SAFE mode, then go to Add/Remove programs
and delete it.
Then restart your machine as normal. Best wishes..meerkat

I love how, on the one hand, Comcast give away a "security suite".
Then on the other, offer...

"XFINITY Signature Support. Subscribers to our affordable,
premium support service..."

In other words, *pay* to remove the product they trapped
you into accepting.

Good business.

It's like the door to door vacuum salesman, who dumps
a can of dirt on your carpet as part of a vacuum cleaner
demonstration.

And that Comcast web page, only recommends the standard "Add/Remove" path.

There is a reference to a removal tool here, but the original poster
doesn't comment on it. So we don't know whether you run this instead
of using Add/Remove, or after running Add/Remove. (The tool is either
a full uninstaller, or it's a cleanup afterwards tool.)

This is the tool.

That also suggests the company that sources the software (IDVault?).
One of those dead-end style support pages. Typically, an OEM software
product, the company "giving it away" provides support. So IDVault would
say "it's Comcast's problem".

Help is as near as... traversing the entire web, looking for it...
This is a Comcast customer, with Constant Guard installed...

I installed No Script again and the problem has not returned so far.

(If it's a browser add-on, check the browser's add-on controls; in
Firefox they're under Tools [or Ctrl-Shift-A] and each one has a disable
button. I can't speak for other browsers.)

From that I take it that it isn't in the add/remove list. This probably
means that the uninstaller didn't complete for whatever reason. One
solution to this often suggested (I don't know for this ComCast thing,
but in general) is to reinstall the offending software (yes, however
much it grates to do so!), after which its entry in add/remove may
reappear, and can be invoked and will work.
