Boclean False Positive !???!

Hi, This is strange,everytime i start, Boclean pops up "trojanhorse found in system 32\drivers\aec.sys, name malware is DLDR-GAMES.D
BC give me the choice to remove so i did,but after restart the system or shutdown BC and restart same message pops up.Prevx and SAS found nothing.I googled it but nothing returned, maybe a false positive !?!
Am i the only one with or there more guys out there with same experiences.

Yes, FP, see also here:

Hi, folks: Yes, indeed, I have sensed a foul smell. In addition to the above, it also flagged YAHOO.COM as a torjan too, perhaps more and more. Their data bases are compromised. Just wonder has this had happened during pre-comodo era? I have no other choice but uninstall IT from my box until further evaluation. Damm, this is a text-book example to ruin a good app.

 

Hardly ever, and if it happened it was usually fixed within an hour.

And what about all those who are responsible for other's computers with BOClean on it.....

GGGGrrrrrr

One starts to wonder about the quality control by Comodo....

 

I had the same thing pop up. Said it cleaned it so rebooted it and it was back again. Thinking it was a pesky one, and kinda wanting to do a reformat again, I reformatted and installed it again and the pop up was back. Kinda figured it was a FP and rolled it back to the image before the boclean install. I am using the 4.22 version BTW. I checked out some of the forums around and see lots of others having the same problems.

As much as I like and have trusted Boclean over the years, I think I will ditch it for now until this Comodo thing gets straightened out.

 

While I know BOClean has had a few false positives in the past. This is a first for me. I too have suffered the same. I trusted BO and removed the file I did fortunatley have a restore point of just 45 minutes ago. It of course picked it up again and I opted to not remove the file.

Could as some have suggested BOClean be slipping since Comodo

 

Hi, folks: Strange thing has happened. After BoClean is kicked out of my box, I mean a completely clean job, including drivers etc. I still have AEC.SYS running normally--CD/DVD Drive Acoustic Silencer. Boclean indicated this file has been cleaned so has been the associated registry. Could this be a F.P. of F.P. or a completely melt-down of BoClean's functionality ? A lot strange things do happen during this post-comodo era. First, the hot-potato style of v.4.2.3, everyone got a piece of it and everyone's hands got a x-degree burn, and now a noisy F.P. and perhaps a F.P. of F.P. Just curious to know what is NEXT ? Come on, folks at Comodo, pls wake up, honey moon is OVER, get to work HARD. Can you ?, please.

 

Probably related to Vista ready updates. That said, when it failed to update signatures, even after reboot, and reinstall, BOClean is not on my pc.

I'd wait for further acomodations / update to the program.

Just don't blame Comodo as your pet scapegoat. It's still Kevin running the show. I think something went wrong with the Vista readiness. That's about the only thing added, besides graphics.

That's what i think anyway. Give them time. But it sure looks like very bad. I'd hate to be on your shoes..

 

I sent the file to virus total: No virus was found, I did not delet the file. I wanted to check it out first.

 

It's been fixed with the very recent update. In the good old days we would of heard something from Kevin in short order, ahhh the good old days...

 

Just happened to me, too.
BOClean actually just died on me, i noticed that the icon was green for a while, then it just disappeared
When I restarted boclean, it immediately popped up a message saying "trojan online games has been detected in C:\windows\system32\drivers\aec.sys" blah blah blah. I suspected it wasn't a real trojan, so I told boclean not to delete it. phew!
However, when I dragged aec.sys into the interface, boclean didn't react at all.
Furthermore, it wasn't mentioned in bocleans log

Just grabbed the latest update after reading Mongols' post.

 

Updated just now don't know if it cures or not.

Like Kevin use to say, "Come and get it". Or some such thing.

 

The update sorted it. As for any security app which flags a potential nasty, I always do a wee bit of research before hitting delete. Can save a lot of time and hassle in the long run. I have unchecked the 'unnattended clean up and removal' option so I can have the final say on file deletion.

As for the AEC.SYS file returning after re boot, Windows automatically re installs this file.

 

Have had Boclean for five years, seen nothing but F/P's since the Comodo take over.

Sadly I have removed my trusty vacume cleaner.

 

I'm sooooooo glad I didn't remove the download for version 4.22 from my PC.
Something kept telling me to hold on to it for safe keeping, I see why now.
This isn't nsclean any more but some days I wish it still was.

 

Hi,

Just for your info:
This FP was also happening with BOClean version 4.22

 

My reason for staying with 4.22 goes beyond this FP, I went back to 4.22 before this FP outbreak.
Also I never saw anything on my PC from this FP that has been occuring recently so I wonder why I'm not getting it, is there some file or link that I should click on, is it happening only on XP computers?

 

Yes, i can confirm this too as upon reboot this morning i got whacked with it before the latest update.

Running XP.

Still haven't seen it, but I'm on a Vista PC now, although that shouldnt matter, should it?

 

Hi Guys,

Perhaps it's involved with Tuesday's M$ patch. If you did not patch XP maybe you don't get the FP.

Bo has 4 updates today, which seems to have fixed the FP, at least for me.

Haven't patched yet,i gues not related to M$.

 

Last night my sound cards drivers got wiped and the software for my Logitech Bluetooth keyboard. I just looked at the configuration settings for BOClean they were reset by..what?..the bad update maybe? I just reinstalled all the sound cards software, and reconfigured BOClean. I still have to reinstall setpoint on my computer, and it is a two part instilation.

 

It's a good thing XP has a system restore option and MS reinstalls system drivers on reboot otherwise Comodo's customers would be far more annoyed today.

If you look at the Comodo forum this was not the only false positive (though it was the most common) in the last update.

They need to take to better care with definition updates and respond faster in the future.

 

Hi,

From this Bo thing, I found SuperAdBlocker, somehow got unticked to start with windows. Bad Bo!
