Comodo BOClean 4.26 out now

Yup of course!

BOC426.exe -> 11-12 mb
BOCore.exe -> 100-200 kb

 

thanks!

 

I don't know about BoClean. I've been using 4.25 for a while. I removed it & installed 4.26 a couple of days ago. BoClean 4.25 never caught one thing, which I guess is good. Yesterday the KAV file AV caught something called trojan downloader JS Remora. I don't know if KAV was just faster to detect it and if BoClean would've got it as well. However with as much CPU time as BoClean uses, I'm beginning to wonder if I should even be using BoClean with KAV on board. From everything I've read about BoClean it's supposedly a good real-time anti-malware.

BTW, I don't know what the deal is with WSF. But for the last 2 or 3 days while visiting here, I get an outbound attempt to connect from FX.exe to Mozilla at 63.245.223.55 on 443. Just got another attempt PU allow/disallow. I suppose the next time I'll have to open up wireshark and then allow it, to see what the story with this outbound is. ​

 

More important is if that file ever got executed. If it didn't, Boclean won't do anything even if it has the signature.
More important still is how you got that file

 

Oh, I don't know, KAV shows ""All threats have been effectively Neutralized, and show it deleted in the report, whatever that means. How can you tell? What other scans besides a KAV scan should you run when a trojan is detected? I suppose later tonight, I'll mount a clean OS image back just to "nuke 'em from orbit, it's the only way to be sure", or at least it'll make me feel better. I should've had KAV's Web-AV on as I was following links, but WEB-AV doesn't play well with my firewall (or firewalls depending on which OS/FW image is loaded), and I forget to turn it back on.

Then what does BoClean do? Perhaps I don't understand what BoClean should be doing. Will BoClean neutralize any trojans or other malware threats before they ""execute? or does BoClean just let you know that you've got a problem---deal with it? thx.

 

BOClean just waits until the trojan loads itself in the memory (in plain english, it waits that the trojan is executed). If it is in its database, it stops execution and asks if you want to delete the file.

But if the trojan isn't executed, it does nothing.

 

On my system uses nothing close to that. It is very heavy. I'm wondering if there's something wrong.

 

Thx, I guess that KAV didn't let it execute then as BoClean probably has that (*&^%* trojan's signature in it's database as I had just DLed the BoClean 4.26's new defs the day before. I like BoClean just being there, as it's GUI is simple and it just runs in the background, as I read someone's post somewhere that he'd had BoClean on his computer for over a year without a peep, then all of a sudden it popped up with a nasty catch.

 

Yeah. I had BOClean along with NOD32, and at least 3 times BOClean jumped with NOD don't even knowing that something happened. It's a nice little backup weapon.

 

I don't think there's sth wrong, your system just deals with BOClean this way or there's some kind of miscalculation.

I once would use AVG 7.5 which according to many is very light, but on my system it came nothing smaller of 100 mb at minimum!

 

Actually here's the meaning to the colors

How about the CPU time for BOclean?

 

I've read somewhere in the Comodo forum, that CPU time for BOClean 4.26 has improved a lot from version 4.25.

I don't know how to check it though.

 

I find it quite amusing where some people are looking at in this. CPU time. Not even sure how to test it and what is the worth of it? Just install it and see if you see any slowdowns at all. I doubt it very much though.

 

well i have had my system running for a little over 6 hours today, and bocleans cpu time is 4 minutes and 8 seconds.

And i have not noticed perfomance impact at all since reinstalling boclean a few days ago.

 

You guys are talking trojans and this is also a malware application I take to deal with others like spyware...

How is this program compared to Spybot S&D?

THANKS

 

Well, BoClean for instance has no scanning functions. It's a residenty which keeps nasties away from the PC before they can start. That is in any case the intention

 

Ahh ok I'll pass I don't like resident apps...

I guess I'll have a go again with Malware Bytes Anti Malware, they gave me a key for it for helping out before.

THANKS

 

I don't like resident apps either, but you should at least try BOClean.

It's like it doesn't even exist in the system. If you configure it to permanetly hide tray icon and alerts just by ticking a box, it won't even show in the system

 

I found than STOPping the service in Admin Options>services and then <disabling> is the best way to uninstall it.

Hey , thanks I just noticed that.

Boclean polls every or so seconds memory and registry,it d'nt prevent malware entering your computer,but as soon as it start it would be intercepted by Boclean.

Malware which lay dormant is harmless but if fired up it will be killed by Boclean.

 

Glad I could convince you to at least trying it

The reason I love it is its simplicity! "Stop malware when trying to execute"

 

Hi Fellows:

Hows BoClean's compatibility with most popular HIPS like say ProSecurity, EQSecure, etc.

I bit on Comodo D+ and like it so i think BC would equally show some usefulness too.
