Re: Comodo acquires BOClean
I've never heard of BOClean till now but i definitely know, from what I've been reading, is that it has done a damn good job and will continue to do a damn good job. BOClean is not the miracle software that will protect you from ALL the internet roaches but has and will continue to do what it's first intention was to do from the beginning, it may change it's way of handling things but the same goal is still there. Is there really a one-software-fix-all? I don't think there is. BOClean may not be ritcher35, dadkins, or even my cup of tea, but to each his own. What it boils down to is that BOClean has helped many ppl, from it's history i don't doubt that it has helped thousands of ppl, and will continue to help ppl regardless. In conclusion, even though I've never used BOClean, probably because I've never heard of it before cus' i do like to tweak  , I give BOClean props and respect for the commitment and dedication to accomplish and maintain it's goals. Two thumbs up! |

| Kevin, why is the aim to go deeper into the Kernel?? Windows Vista has locked the Kernel will your new technique work with Vista?
Personally i think going into the kernel at all is not a future-proof solution and is about as effective in the long term as using signature based scanning ONLY (Signature scanning is usually less damaging to the users computer than kernel mode anti-stuff).
Without asking too much info, your new technique sounds like you are almost just loading the OS into a VM session???
Would your technique resist being loaded into a VM session?? |

Kevin,
Thanks for being straight forward otherwise you wouldn't post either in here or at Wilders in the first place.
Yes the key question is the one you stated right at the beginning of your post:
YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY COMPETE AGAINST A FREEBIE.
Look at the magic 3 for example: Avast-AVG-Antivir.
What's the point of paying $60 bucks a year when you have basically the same product in free form.
Let me tell you the only investment I made in this machine is my "near-industrial-strength router", and let me assure you nothing gets past it even when I surfed well into the dark side for testing purposes. But the router is only one more layer, there are others as well which are in essence: Limited account, tightened OS and "neural-gymnastics." 
You did what you had to do, and that is called: feed your stomach first. I still can't believe the fact of some consumers whining for your decision. I guess they need to invest not in a product but in a process itself, and IMO BoClean is not the answer.
Good luck in your new venture.
Regards. |

1 edit | No not yet but Kevin is working on it.
There is now a Comodo BOClean forum over at the Comodo website where Kevin posts daily.
He mentioned something about "getting it out" or "getting it out right" then said when BOClean is ready everyone will know. |

Eset has always made sure that NOD32
(1) is light on resources
(2) is compatible even with older operating systems
(3) runs very smoothly on most machines
(4) detects almost all sorts of malware.
If NOD32 belonged to Comodo, I'm not too sure whether this AV would still be as good as it has always been. And yes, the four points I mentioned above also apply to BOClean. What's more, BOClean support has always been fantastic. Will we also get this top-notch support now that BOClean belongs to Comodo? I have my doubts... |

From a financial point of view, the other way around would be far more likely. So keep on dreaming  |

Trojans & virus activity seems relevant to a preponderance of stupidity, in surfing habits.
The larger picture are those programs that have a propensity to ASPI hook into your personal realm; meaning those that have no moral issue in accessing your pass worded material. Evident when one installs a program & utilizes that programs email log in~ sign in. -Is it only me that finds it strange that in such a circumstance, when prompted for a sign in....I notice secure log in features [Like a user_name] that's not ever been part of the picture for THAT program or log in, but is for another AND secure site? |
