Can this version/release be downloaded "on top of" the existing 4.21? Or should users uninstall and do a clean installation of 4.22?

EDIT: Oops, just discovered that it can be installed by shutting down and uninstalling BOClean first....

Hi JRCATES,

According to the e-mail from PSC (with 4.22 attached) and from the page http://www.nsclean.com/supboc.html, users are advised to uninstall 4.21 first before installing 4.22.

-{ Quote: "If you're REPLACING an existing version of BOClean, then you'll want to first doubleclick the traybar icon and click "Shutdown BOClean" on the button menu which appears. Then UNINSTALL the earlier BOClean from the BOClean program group on the start menu, or from the Windows control panel's "add/remove programs." BOClean should appear on the list. If your previous BOClean cannot be uninstalled, then go ahead and install the 4.22 version, then UNINSTALL it, and then finally install it again. This will remove all prior traces of your old BOClean and install the new one "squeaky clean."" }-

[Trooper]

Wow another new version huh? Figures, I just got done building a new PC and getting it the way I want. Now I gotta uninstall reinstall BOClean. I hate it when that happens.

On topic tho, its a good thing we get updates from them, and for free! I just sent an e-mail earlier today to obtain my copy of the latest and greatest.

Thanks to Kevin and Nancy as always. ;D

[muf]

I sent my e-mail request and received my updated version 2 1/2 hours later. Pretty good if i say so myself! And uninstalled old version installed new version and up and running in about 3 minutes. None of this silly "You need to reboot your pc" pilarva.

Running sweet.

That is good news muf. I am glad to hear it.

I see you are a Half Life fan as well by looking at your avatar and signature. Sweet!

Cheers to you,

P.S. I already received my update emails from them. It took less than one hour! :o

[beetlejuice69]

Same here. Fast and painless install. :)

[QBgreen]

I also requested and received the new version in a couple of hours. Great service, great program. Been using and recommending for a long time. :thumb:

Exactly what i think of this proggie

[FanJ]

I've got it too.
Thanks Kevin, Nancy and all at PSC !!!

A few screenshots will follow of the installation procedure.

[FanJ]

The file BOC422.001 was attached in the email.
The file decode.exe was downloaded.
Both files were put on the desktop.

[FanJ]

Existing BOClean was shutdown.
In add/remove existing BOClean clicked to uninstall.

[FanJ]

Back to the desktop.

Double-clicked on the decode icon.
A new box opens.

Now drag that BOC422.001 (left-clicking it) into that new box.

[FanJ]

A new box comes up.

[FanJ]

Clicked OK, and the actual installation box comes up.

[FanJ]

Clicked on INSTALL.

The new BOClean is installing.
Then it is installed.

A new box comes up.

[FanJ]

You will see that the original BOC422.001 icon on the desktop is now changed into BOC422.exe

The file BOC422.exe is the actual installation file.
As adviced, it is a very good idea to save that file in case you ever need to re-install the new BOClean.

In Windows Explorer I navigated to the folder of my desktop, and from there I copied that file BOC422.exe to a safe place.

Then I removed those two icons from my desktop.

That's it ;)

[muf]

Thanks FanJ. It's appreciated you taking the time to display and explain the uninstall/install process. Exactly how mine went and i'm sure anyone out there a little nervous about upgrading will find your guide most useful.

Cheers,
muf

[Trooper]

Un-install re-install was smooth for me last night. Thanks again to Kevin and Nancy. :)

More a fan of TFC. Done the clan thing and still play TFC online even though it's been around since 1999. Now that's getting your money's worth!!!

Sorry to go OT there for a moment.

Just upgraded.It took 45 min to recieve my e-mail.nice.uninstall & reinstall went as smooth as i could have hoped.Great program,very happy with it.thanks to all at nsclean.

[JRCATES]

Is running any registry cleaners, etc., recommended after uninstallation of 4.21 and before the installation of 4.22 takes place, or not?

Also, the BOC422.EXE icon that Jan showed on the desktop....can that be kept on the desktop, to access and open the GUI? Or SHOULD it be removed/deleted after installation?

[SSK]

The BOC422.EXE file on FanJ's desktop is the original install file. I would move it to a storage place in case you need to reinstall sometime in the future! :)

[FanJ]

Hi JRCATES,

-{ Quote: "Is running any registry cleaners, etc., recommended after uninstallation of 4.21 and before the installation of 4.22 takes place, or not?" }-

No, it is not needed.
I didn't do that on my XP-home machine.
So far everything is OK on it with respect to the new BOClean.

-{ Quote: "

That BOC422.exe icon points to the actual installation file of your new BOClean.
It is NOT pointing to the GUI.
If you want to open the GUI of your BOClean, then it is the same as it was:
Double left click on your BOClean-icon in the systray near the clock, and then click on its tab "Configure BOClean".
I hope that I did understand you right.

As for your question "the BOC422.EXE icon that Jan showed on the desktop....can that be kept on the desktop":
Of course it is your own decision whether you want to leave it on your desktop.
As I said, that icon only points to the actual installation file of your new BOClean.
If you want to locate in which folder on your system that actual file is put, right-click on it and then properties. Then you will see its location. Go to that location in your Windows Explorer; from there copy it into a safe location.

I hope this helps a little bit.

[FanJ]

Oops, I didn't see that SSK also replied ;)

[dukebluedevil]

Thank you Nancy & Kevin, got your email right away and the update went smoothly as expected.

Not only is this program top notch but so are the people behind it.

[FanJ]

Now for the NOD32 users among us:

In the past several of us did put some of the BOClean files in the Exclusion-list of Amon.
I'm not quite sure whether that is still "needed" (that word "needed" is a little bit strong word here (excuse my poor English)).
Anyhow, if you did that with your BOClean version 4.21, then you might want to check your exclusion-list in Amon and make the appropriate changes with respect to BOC422.exe

[FanJ]

Now more in general, about installing as admin:

Look at my screenshot in reply # 16
You see there that:
BOClean MUST be installed under the 'Administrator' or 'Owner' account.

Did you think of that advice while installing?

I assume that that advice is still true on the new version.

Thanks for the reminder; I completely forgot about that ...

Just updated to this version, but boclean keeps claiming that the driver for my tv card is a trojan and needs to be shut down. So what email do I send to for this to be fixed. I checked on the nsclean site but I only seem to see the upgrade email address their. If want to test the driver yourself its the drivers for the leadtek DTV1000T card.

Thanks.

[Defenestration]

Does BOClean 4.22 still exhibit the behaviour I described in the following thread:

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=147406

Also, does the CPU usage of BOCore.exe still rise to 90% for a while after selecting an input file in AutoGK ?

[cheater87]

is it free?

[Londonbeat]

-{ Quote: "is it free?" }-

No. But it's cheap and you only pay for it once at the moment (i.e. no yearly subscriptions.)

Regards

[snowbound]

-{ Quote: "is it free?" }-
As said above, not free and there's also no trial, but it has a 30 day moneyback guarantee if not satisfied.

Thanks for the email. I have emailed Kevin and a update to fix the problem has been released. The driver for the tv card is no longer a FP.

[controler]

Installed 4.22.002 today and am not seeing any problems at all.

I did get my Vista RC1 DVD yesterday and have not tried it on that yet and prolly won't till BoClean is released for Vista.

Do you mean version 4.22.001? The new version has been released????

[controler]

Yes my version is 4.22.002

[mercurie]

-{ Quote: "Yes my version is 4.22.002" }-Looking for mine now then. :) Keep us posted controler on anything you think is worth reporting. ;)

I would advise starting a new thread unless a Mod. objects, since we are now talking about build .002

[tosbsas]

uffa I am still stuck with 4.22.001

[FanJ]

As far as I know version 4.22.001 is the latest "official" version.
Only PSC can make an "official" announcement of a newer version.
There will come a newer version (as far as I know), but until that moment all .002 versions are test-versions.

[controler]

There was nothing special about the e-mail I received the file in. I never saw a mention of it being a test build but maybe it is.

This is the only thing I noticed.

BUILD: BOClean 4.22.002 contained within; "001" is the file extension.

I do not notice anything yet and am using a GEForce video card and drivers LOL

That is my understanding as well.

[FanJ]

Just saw the email from PSC:

-{ Quote: "
BOClean 4.22.002 is now available. An "002 fix build" was required as a result of 24 customers who suffered anomolies with the original "001" release which resulted in problems with the updater not working correctly and screen "artifacts" as the result of code changes in the original 4.22.001 release for compatibility with the MS "Vista beta." These have been corrected and we prefer that our customers have properly working software regardless of whether 4.22.001 appeared to be OK or not.

Please read and follow the directions below to avoid delays in receiving your copy of the new BOClean 4.22 release. We want to make this as smooth as possible for everybody, and we appreciate your cooperation. SUPPORT and STAFF here are unable to send you upgrades, so please read the information below in order to get yours as quickly as possible.

To upgrade any version of our software (excluding BOClean EDS customers), please email us at upgrade@nsclean.com. In your request, please include any or all of the following: Your order number, email address at the time of purchase, full name and the correct email address to send to. Once we confirm your request, your software will arrive in a reply email. If you are certain you can receive them, we will send an EXE or ZIP ONLY if you request those formats. Otherwise, we will send an encrypted file and instructions on how to get the decoder program download from us. This is a LOT easier than it may sound.

Please set up your email program to prompt for a file attachment storage location, this will expedite file installation. Saving the decoder and encrypted 001 file to the desktop will make the process very easy. The "001" designates the "file extension" you receive. It will be the 4.22.002 version despite the "001" filename.

Be sure that your firewall is set up to permit attachments to get through and be sure your ISP does not block attachments. Some web-based services do, if you have an alternate email address it would be helpful if you include it in your email. You'll get your software faster if you do. Please be patient, requests can take up to 24 hours to fill because of the sheer volume of people who will want a copy the first couple of days. Thanks for your cooperation and patience.

For those of you who paid for the "EXTENDED DOWNLOAD" when you purchased BOClean, you don't HAVE to wait - simply grab your original order and password and go directly back to the download site, redownload the "old version" which will magically be the NEW version when you receive it regardless of what the page says. The new 4.22 version of BOClean is ALREADY THERE!

FanJ,
I have not gone to get mine yet but I assume the .002 fix build for 24 customers is like a special build for those 24 'cause I am sure there were more then 24 customers with problems with .001. :-\

[Cerxes]

Great! This application is one of my favorites, so I will hurry up and grab it :)

Regards, C.

[FanJ]

Hey Mercurie,

Of course there might be some more than those 24. I really don't know (it can always be that some BOClean users didn't report a problem, etc.etc.).

I myself prefer to have the latest version/build.

Warm regards, Jan.

[mercurie]

Just sent my request in too. I do find the 24 customers remark in PSC email strange. Oh well! ;)

[Cerxes]

It runs nice and easy as it should, no more hyperactive CPU...Nice job Nancy & Kevin for an excellent product! :thumb:

Maybe 24 people reported the problem to Kevin... ;)

[Alwill]

Installed the V4.22.002 "002 fix build" version using the two step method i.e decode.exe and BOC422 files (non EDS) but the systray icon failed to materialise; rebooted twice, still no icon. As a temporary measure I was able to have it appear by going into the BOClean folder and clicking the program's application exe file.

Have now reverted my drive back to before making this install and have emailed Kevin explaining the problem I encountered.

[Longboard]

LOL "24 people" LOL some virus common to the 24 "wilders" who posted here. :D

Installed .002: up and running.

CPU settled

Seems heavier here than prior.
Maybe i'm just abit more sensitive?
Adds some extra mem use to app which is running ?
Stable at 10K memory?? isnt that alot?? almost as much as NAV/NIS srvices (but better value for same memuse Heh)

Seriously, anybody else notice a possible change?
I still wonder about PrevX and Boclean.
Regards

[SSK]

Memuse for me has always been 9 to 10k.

[JimF]

I get 8,288 K for BOC422.EXE, and 1,120 K for BOCore.exe. The maximum CPU usage is only about 3 or 4 percent (2.4 GHz P4). It looks good to me.

[mercurie]

Just got it for the Family PC which was running the old BOC421 that was at 8660K.

The new BOC422.002 is running 8652K.

So far... smooth as a babys bottom. ;)

[Longboard]

hhmmpphh
show offs all of you ;)
My computer is like me: memory use a bit strained due to advanced age.
We try harder here: southern hemisphere; coriolis effects doncha know. ;D

AS usual: great response from NSC team.
Thanks for info.
All good.

The "24" quoted were customers out of perhaps about 3000 copies delivered by the time of accumlation whereupon we STOPPED sending until we could do the proverbial "WTF?" We don't have time lately for the "groups" and so, since we provide actual support from the person who wrote the code and knows it best, rather than "fanboying" and mutual admiration, we actually work out any problems encountered. We received 24 complaints when we "stopped the presses," that's where the number came from. My bad for even mentioning it, it was intended as an explanation for "files not received yet" as well until we sorted it.

The 4.22.002 has proven to be the quality everyone had come to expect from us, so for those holding out - get yer 4.22. Somewhere around the middle of this month, 4.20 and 4.21 shall die so that we can drop the older ways of doing things and "light the candle" properly ...

But GEEZ, folks ... if you don't email *ME* about a problem, how'm I gonna KNOW about it? Ain't got TIME for forums with so many people getting infected by "free pr0n" and "cracks." :)

[Alwill]

Re my earlier post #54 concerning no systray icon, turns out there was a hiccup in the first install attempt which resulted in BOClean being blocked from being able to write to the registry to create the necessary startup entry (HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version>Run). A re-install, however, was successful and the program is now running smoothly and correctly.

As usual, Kevin took time out to render prompt and helpful attention to the problem.

[MaB69]

Hi everybody,

Just received the 4.22.002 and installed it
The CPU spike are now a bad dream and all my system is more smooth
Mem usage is as usual : 8.6 Mo for BOC422 and 1 Mo and less for the service

Thank you very much Nancy & Kevin and Nsclean team
