WOW this Is great news :D
BOClean is just a name now, don't expect the level of service/support you got with Kevin and Nancy. If you can't beat em, buy em.
I'm still proud to say I paid for mine. We'll just have to wait and see where boclean goes from here.

Norton, even free, would be a ripoff :P There are free tools out there that work as good/better without the system overhead.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18079787 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 20:03:12 EDT Re: Nice! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18079228 Oleg : Lets just hope BOClean does not turn into bad product.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18079228 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 18:04:00 EDT Re: Nice! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18079128 Nanoprobe : BoClean updates with new detections almost daily. I wonder if that will continue. As for Comodo firewall, no thanks. Tried it twice. Too buggy and not that effective for me.

BTW, I stopped using Norton several years ago, but I still get it to use as a competitor's upgrade.

I hate to be the wet blanket, but public companies aren't in the habit of giving away profits unless they get something in return. Every business strategy has to end with ROI for its investors. Precisely what they have to gain from this isn't immediately apparent, but I can imagine the plan will present itself in due time.

Comodos whole business plan is to get their products out there and talked about by being free for home users. Hoping that they get enough rave reviews that they can easily sell their products to small businesses and corporations. Which is where the real money is.
