So why would it be checking every 10 minutes or so?

Yes, I also find that BOC4UPD.exe is used when I choose the manual update option. BOC425.exe is the one that's making these automatic connections

When I manually update, BOC4UPD.EXE is used and has to ask to access the internet, so it seems to me two different .exes are being used.

I was not sure as I have never used CBOClean's automatic update. The reason that I mentioned that the automatic updater might use a different .exe is because, avast! Home uses (avast.setup) to update. When in auto. mode it would have a different parent path .exe than when updating manually. Made me think that maybe BOClean was using a similar way.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20218480 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 17:46:31 EDT Re: BOClean - outgoing connections http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20217514 anon : I just did a manual update to BOClean once on a DSL line and once on an air card. Both times BOC4UPD.exe called out on port 1856 to 74.52.200.146 on port 21 (92.c8.344a.static.theplanet.com). I haven't checked in a long time but as I recall BOClean uses a server at theplanet.com for updates. Results were checked in zone alarm and TCPView. Nothing seems out of order here.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20217514 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 14:37:17 EDT Re: BOClean - outgoing connections http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20217170 MarkAW :
said by CBO :

I update BOClean manually, in my firewall it shows (BOC4UPD.EXE) as the updater executable. Not sure if the automatic updater uses a different .exe for the update process.

If it is not the automatic updater that is making (boc425.exe) connect out then maybe since you just installed the program it is phoning home just to let Comodo know that you have installed it on your PC. You may want to post your question over at Comodo's forum to be sure.
It doesn't matter if you manually update or autoupdate the (BOC4UPD.EXE) is how BoClean updates.

According to the firewall, boc425.exe keeps making outgoing access connections every 6-7 minutes or so. The port given seems to be in the 58500 range.

Anyone know why this is or is it just regular network activity?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20215243 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 01:41:48 EDT
