For anyone replacing their earlier BOClean, some RULES which need to be followed as far as installing the new version, however since I have no idea of when the support center or the documentation pages are going to be there ... this is all I can offer ...

#1. If you already have a copy of any earlier BOClean on your machine, UNINSTALL it first! If you have BOClean running on the traybar, right click it, select "shut down BOClean" and that will make it go away. Should you forget to do this, the remover will complain and tell you to do so. There is no harm done if the old BOClean were to be left running, however you'll have two BOCleans running and that will waste resources. The two will not interfere with one another, but you only require one.

#2. 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" ...

#3. Once installed, BOClean will NOT reboot the machine - this is done in order to protect any "works in progress" on the user's machine from accidental loss. However, the kernel driver once installed MUST start at bootup and without a bootup to kick it off, it will not be present until the machine has been rebooted "at your earliest convenience." BOClean will also start automatically after a reboot, it is NOT started by the installer based upon the need for its kernel driver to be present. This is the reason for the reboot requirement rather than just starting BOClean straight away.

Finally, I'm not sure if there's updates for 4.23 being put on the COMODO server - the NSClean site is NOT updating BOClean 4.23 at all ... just 4.22. So please bear with us, I've suddenly become overloaded myself.

A name I haven't seen around for a while. Thanks catseyenu for the post. There are a lot of homes that will be getting hold of this.

Look forward to the future of this.

Take care.

Installing the new version on Win 9x/ME machines seems to be next to impossible at the moment. Here's another example:

Unlike many other vendors, the guys behind BOClean still seem to care about people using older operating systems, so I do think and hope this will soon be fixed.

catseyenu Thank You!

Yep; when I tried to install 4.23 on my Win98SE box today it complained about SHELL32.DLL not being present, plus another error about an unidentified device not working...

The faqs state that it is win98 and ME compatible.. I don't have a box with either of those OSs so I can't test it...

Thank you very much, CajunTek . I will give it a try when I'm back home. I do hope it is Win 98/ME compatible. Let's wait and see.
