Seems it can be downloaded but not my cuppa tea.Some may be interested though.
Scroll down a bit.
Thanks.
Installed smoothly, no conflicts so far.
Humpty, please expound on "not my cuppa tea"! I'd never heard of it until a month or so ago when Comodo purchased them. Since that time I've been noticing on several forums how excited people are about it. I'm still debating whether I really need another "anti" or not.
I've been running BOClean since 2001, the last four years alongside Nod32, and I'm extremely happy with it.
It has a huge malware database, updates are frequent, and customer service is excellent.
It sits in the background scanning the memory and Registry for malware and it will end process on and delete malware that may have passed by your AV.
IMHO it's a valuable addition to any Antivirus.
(just my 2 cts of course...)

You pretty much summarize what everyone seems to think about it. I guess I just have so much trust in NOD32, plus secondary protection with Spy Sweeper and AVG Anti-Spyware (ewido), I'm just reluctant to add more. In three years, the worse thing any app has found were Tacoda cookies (Kind of a third party cookie that hitches a ride with other cookies, if I remember the information about them. Actually not even really malware) that ewido found and removed from within my Firefox profile.

I can empathize with that. It goes without saying that what security software you choose to run wil always remain a matter of personal preference, at least to a certain extent.
not good for vista yet though....
but itll make my xp machine.

This new version should be.
... according to Kevin McAleavey:
In order to properly install the COMODO BOClean 4.23 onto a Vista machine, you *MUST* right click on the downloaded setup programme and select "Run as administrator" to install it properly. For XP and earlier, being administrator/owner is sufficient. A reminder screen will appear when started to warn that it must be installed under the administrator/owner account but people don't read what's right in front of their face. It's NECESSARY to ensure that the kernel driver is properly loaded that the installation be done by administrator and under VISTA, it must be done under "Run AS" ...
And it is also imperative to reboot after setup in order to allow the kernel driver to launch.
Humpty, please expound on "not my cuppa tea"!
Prefer my virtualisation - sandboxing setup for security with no realtime or on demand blacklist scanners installed.
Blacklists meaning security apps that need a usually updated database to detect threats.
But we are all different.If your happy with your setup then stick with it.
I do use an online scan with Kav or one of the others for a check up every now and then with nothing untoward being found as yet.
cool. thanks tony, got it!
I'm on the fence regarding boclean. I can't decide if I like it or hate it and it has to be one of the two.
I had used it before on a buddy's computer so I knew what it was, but I'm not sure if I like it on my computer..
Thanks
Got it
For all who want to know more about this excellent application this documentation is an useful guide. Comodo BOClean is v. 4.23 but the diferences are minimal (like icon).
Enjoy the use - and real self-protection - of Comodo BOClean.

Downloaded but haven't decided to use it or not, but this info is very helpful.
Thanks.
Its a nice program. You just install it and then let it do its thing.
Going through its settings I haven't noticed the need to really change anything. What I like is that it can be made to literally do everything on its own and can even be hidden from view if you want.
The only settings I changed was to keep a copy of whats found and to check for updates every 6 hours instead of 24. I'm not sure if I'm going to leave it installed but for now its going to stay.
The only problems I've had is that while its updating the interface is a little buggy if you minimize the window and then maximize it again.(the window will blank out until its done doing whatever.)

Actually many Windows applications have that bug where they won't correctly redraw the application until their done doing their thing.

Yes, but do remember that every time it detects a baddie it will not only clear out your Temp folder and the Downloaded Program Files folder, but it will also replace your Hosts file by the Windows default and reset the Winsock Stack.
You need to think this over, and, if necessary, back up any custom Hosts file you may have. There have also been (albeit rare) instances of people losing their Internet Connectivity because of the Winsock cleanup. You can however uncheck any of these options in the BOClean program configuration.
It made sense to me that it would clean those things.
I didn't know that people were loosing their internet connection because of the winsock cleaner though.(understandable, viruses will often mess this up too) I haven't really gotten to test it with any kind of infection yet.
II didn't know that people were loosing their internet connection because of the winsock cleaner though.
Well, certain legitimate software also insert themselves in the Winsock stack, and that could cause trouble. In such a case you can run the "netsh int ip reset" command to restore the Windows defaults (Win XP, Vista), then reinstalll the software in question.
