So what do you guys think of the new BOclean?

I found out what my problem was (post 33).

Ati's Catalyst Control Centre was causing BOclean to shut down. I just disabled CCC from autostarting and all has been well since.

It's messed up my internet connection in the beginning until I unchecked 'automaticall clean up of winsock connectivity' and since then I've had no problems.

 

I came across the same ATI CCC problem Jake was having, but it only seems to be with the latest version of CCC in my case, went back to the previous version and all is well.

 

Working sweet in here after a issue I had with the update issue because of running ULA. What I did was access the BoClean folder, right-click on every single item contained within, click on the security tab and grant full rights to the item ULA (If you're a XP Home user then you need to reboot in SAFE MODE to view the security tab):



From that moment the annoying update pop-up is gone and Comodo BOClean updates normally ULA.

Note: The Comodo BoClean FAQ says to give permission to BOC422.EXE (423 today as it was referring to the previous version), but it my case didn't work so I granted full rights to all of them. Later on, I noticed that ST asked me if I wanted to give BoClean.DLL permission to call home, then I figured out why giving full rights only to BOC423.EXE wasn't good enough.

 

Hi there,

I still use my good old paid BOClean version and will stick with it for a while. No need to try the new free ComodoBOClean yet.

Some of the pop-up notification windows could be reworded. Comodo is a professional enough company that I would not expect all-caps in a notification window. "This program DOES NOT need to be updated!" Come on... How about "There are no available updates" instead?

 

You ALREADY HAVE the latest updates nothing to download....

BOClean was doing it this way before it became a part of Comodo.

 

I've had the paid version of BoClean for about six months. It has never alerted me to anything. It's hard to determine its effectiveness.

 

Head on over to MySpace and download some of the fake video codecs that will unleash trojans.

 

Very wise advice (NOT!), as new variants of this malware are hitting the scene on a daily basis...

NO AV or AT is 100% certain to get them all, so I suggest you do NOT experiment!

 

Yes indeed.
That's the curse of all blacklist softwares : no signature = no detection = no removal and you are infected and give the infection more than enough time to do its evil job.
Meanwhile your daily IMAGES are also infected and those infections will be re-installed again, once you use these images for restoration.

 

Hi Erik you are very against blacklisting,for you what are the advantages with whitelists,more controll etc ?don't trusting Vendors blacklist ?
