| Latest Comodo BoClean Information This is taken from the Comodo BoClean forum it is the latest information on what to expect in the days to come. Also here is a link with information concerning existing customer and Comodo BoClean 4.23. »forums.comodo.com/index.php/topi···msg56714
Kevin McAleavey -
COMODO BOClean 4.23 (note the extremely minor version number change) will be the SAME as BOClean 4.22 for now ... the only major changes are some nice graphics on it that say COMODO of course, and the solution for VISTA compatibility that worked just fine in 4.22 until Vista was actually released. Microsoft made some changes in how kernel drivers are handled and even though ours wasn't a HARDWARE driver in the traditional sense, they required not only "signed code" but also a special "CROSS-certificate" from Microsoft in addition to the "signed code." While I was still with Privacy Software Corp, we requested this from them back in December of last year and never got it. Now that we're in COMODO's hands, the logjam was broken and the certificates JUST arrived this past week. THAT was the major part of the delay. Once the code has been signed, then we have to go back and retest all of the 4.23 release to ensure that everything works properly as there have been quite a few reports of strange things happening with signed kernel code. Since it's always been our tradition to avoid tossing coded corpses out of speeding cars in the dead of night, need a few more days to beat up things in our own labs to ensure it will work as reliably as its predecessor yet be happy under Vista.
And no, not handing out "release candidates" at this point either ... but the 4.23 release, aside from the above, will be the SAME as 4.22 was. Once that's out the door, next step is to take the existing code which is written in Borland C and then port it to Microsoft C (Microsoft's C isn't completely ANSI compatible whereas Borland was) so that my teammates at COMODO can get under the hood along with me and start making some SERIOUS improvements to it which will hopefully lead us to either a 4.30 or better yet that fabled 5.0 release as soon as is practical. Over the past two years, I've started to do a number of amazing things that I never had the time to FINISH. I think those unfinished things excited Melih even more than BOClean or any of our other existing stuff. Hopefully now that I have analysts and no longer have to do the malware, this will all come together sooner rather than later. There's a lot of work ahead to be done and it's great to finally have the opportunity to DO some of it again! | |

Don't get Dadkins started eh. 
As for BOClean, what the "fabled version 5" is about, I no doubt it will be a lot better a product, and look forward to seeing research, rather than detection and repair, which already has been noted in that last thread. There Dadkins, we do listen.
I wonder what it will be capable of, coupled with Comodo firewall. Will look forward to that for a test.

Way back when AVs only looked for viruses, yeah!
A resident AT would have been a good idea.
Now that nearly any "scanner"(Real Time and On Demand both) scans for all kinds of malware, trojans included, ya really don't need a secondary AT resident - from ANYONE!
Since BOC is free now, go ahead and get it and YOU decide whether or not it is needed.

How many HJT logs have I posted? 0.
How many "I'm hosed" threads have I started? 0.
I go anywhere and click anything.
I DO NOT use BOC!
No infections... *ANYONE* care to try and explain how?
I didn't have BOC...
At various times, I have had Trend Micro, KAV, and avast.
NO BOClean - and nothing ever happened.
Recently, someone(a friend) sent me a copy of the original 4.22 BOC.
I installed it.
It sat there.
It consumed 10MB(not worried about RAM, but WTF?)
It detected Gibson's Leak Test... OOOoooo!!!!
Considering that Gibson's Leak Test is harmless, Wow! I'm impressed! 
I took it for a spin in the Adult Arena of the web... seen my AV have a hissyfit a bunch of times!
Trojans, codecs, javascripts, IST... a few items.
BOC didn't do shit!
Scanned that test laptop with a SHITLOAD of scanners afterwards.
AVs, ATs, ASs, Rootkit scanners(All of them)...
Guess what!!!
Not a damn thing was found besides - cookies! BFD! LMAO!
Now, I ask this ONE MORE TIME:
What do I need BOClean for?
Even though it is Free - NOW, *I* still don't see a pressing need for it.
As always, YMMV.
I suggest to everyone, get it(IT'S FREE)!
Use it on your machines!
If it is useful, Great!
If it is not, also Great!
All the turfing that has been done about the Almighty BOC, sure was a BIG letdown when I actually got a copy!

Uhm, yeah!
Reread that whole thread!
CJ got him cleaned up. NOT BOC!
NetBus, reread that whole fiasco, please?
The whole thing about NetBus was Kevin professing some BS about leagalese keeping NetBus detection enabled was to keep BOC as a "club".
Well, that didn't fly!
EVERYONE detects NetBus, and they aren't a "club".
Do you agree with this line:
"No offense intended here, but it's always been amazing how low the bar has been for so-called "security experts" in forums."
Or, do you realize this response is true:
Yep! Sure is!
Good thing I have *NEVER* even eluded to be an expert on security!
Now, answer me friend...
Why have I, and many other people, done fine without the Almighty BOC?

| Re: Latest Comodo BoClean Information BOclean failed to remove it because KAV tried to jump on it it first.. did a bad job of stopping it and two of the vectors of the package sent..and when the user tried to do that system restore..and brought back into play two files BOClean still disabled..but I would not expect it to clean that PC at that point..it's too late.
I have run that badboy "package" against a system with NO AV..and BOClean would not even let it load and there was no infected winlogon or other files of the OS.
When you see KAV popup on one of those and tell you you are still infected.. or even attempt to disable it..let me know

1 edit | IMHO boclean offers a great second defense. If all else fails its good to have an extra layer of detection. IMHO if your using kaspersky its probably overkill due to there great trojan detection, however me a nod32 fan they have been known to sometimes miss a few trojans which is where boclean comes in. Trojan is ran nod32 misses it, loads into memory boclean picks up the new variant and stops it before it can do harm. Its not like the program is a killer on resources and now that its free there is no reason not to use it. | |

| Here's some tips for installing from Kevin, via the Comodo forum:
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.

| Dadkins i dont understand why you have such a grudge to boclean. I completely understand why you dont need it, but for me its going to make my life easier.. Why you ask, well dont you have family or friends who always seem to get trojans no matter what antivirus they use. I know I do.. Every other week im having to clean their computers from some trojan off of myspace or some email attachment they opened even though I told them not to. This just offers one more layer of protection. It doesnt touch resources and now that its free there is no reason not to install it.
I understand why you wouldnt need it. Personally I could probably even go without virus protection, but there are people out there who are not computer SAVY such as yourself.
You seem to have an unreasonable hatred towards boclean and I cant understand why. Its software each person has their own opinion towards things. You said you use Outpost I hate outpost, but I don't go to every outpost topic and talk about how I think it sucks. | |

1 edit | Re: Latest Comodo BoClean Information I have asked Kevin and all the BOC evangelists questions about BOC and all I have ever gotten is BS.
All I want is some answers.
Everyone skates the issues I raise. Is that MY fault?
"signature-based mentality" - ok, someone tell me, what is included with BOC updates?
Why do the numbers of detected things go up?
Aren't those - signatures?
Uh huh...
BS!
No trial... WHY?
Now it's free, but why wasn't there EVER a trial? Right!
NO ONE has ever given me a straight answer.
Well, now look!
BOC was doing SO well, Kevin had to "sell out" to COMODO. Gee, wonder why?
No one drinking the KoolAid fast enough to keep food on the table? 
No, I have the "Guy In Charge" try to insult me... LMAO!
Kinda failed, didn't it!
Yeah, y'all can keep on slinging it, *I HAVE THE MF!*
NO ONE here can BS me any longer!
I can see WTF it does or does NOT do myself!
Never could before... scared much?
Sorr if YOU don't like Outpost.
As a Firewall, Outpost is about as good as you are going to get!
Agnitum's OSSP, well, it SUCKED!
I had NO PROBLEM telling them it sucked!
Ok, now back to BOC... guess what!
I have it, I ran it, it sucked!
Y'all can stop now! LOL!
Perhaps YOU(whomever) needs it to protect you from ??? - sorry!
*IF* I wanted a resident AT, I have a couple.
Bigger teeth & lighter on resources - no matter what any of you wish to try and feed *US*.
@ NG,
I thought BOC was supposed to COMPLIMENT an AV...
BOC aint what you think(or have been brainwashed into thinking) it is! LOL!
Y'all are funny!
I'm here because I speak my mind!
I am also here to give a second look at this subject.
...from a realistic viewpoint.
Back when BOC was dropped, it was the shit!
Today, not so much. No matter what any of you have to say about it! Sorry!

Hey! Where the hell is Nancy?

Melih went and released BoClean without bothering to even tell Kevin he was doing so much less get Kevin's permission. Because it was premature and Kevin had no idea what Melih was doing there was no read me, etc and a bunch of complaints. Those who had purchased BoClean when Kevin and Nancy owned it were left out in the cold without their special version that Kevin promised. They were hurt.
Melih then tried to save face by concocting the notion that he had not released Comodo BoClean but that he had...yeah...without Kevin's knowledge or permission ....(but's what the big deal there...I'm the boss...I can do as I please and treat my employees like shit if I want) had released "only" a Release Candidate. Yeah, really....
I haven't read the Comodo forum today so I don't know the latest, but these kinds of shenanigans on the part of Melih I believe are likely partly why he he has difficulty attracting or keeping excellent employees. Maybe everything will still end up working out great...but I sure have my doubts.

| Hi boclean users i'm trying boclean for the first time since I heard it's good. I experienced this problem when uninstalling from add/remove programs on a win2k box([an error occured while trying to remove boclean. it may have already been uninstalled. would you like to remove boclean from the add/remove program list?] look at screenshot). Uninstalling from the programs menu works so i'm just putting it out there, its no biggie, it doesn't bother me since i don't remove programs from there anyway.
Aside from that, how can i test boclean if it's working? I tried leaktest from grc and it blocked it, but this a firewall leak test tool. I tried to start other programs that required internet access and I didn't get no pop up from boclean.

| Dadkins has no idea how Boc works. What did you say. You went surfing to bad places with others security in place including Boc. You said boc didn't do shit. Well boc detects when the malware is in memory. Your AV would see the malware first cos it file scans and detects the malware BEFORE it gets to memory. You would have needed to switch off all your other security apps to see what boc can do. But then again you don't know how it works, so how you profess to know HOW to test it is beyond. Oh and i used to be a regular poster here and you were a cool guy. Times change...

This little gem is so overrated, IMO. It does nothing special and yet it lacks a lot of things competition has been offering for quite some time.
It took them a month to insert a logo (which I personally don't like and would be better off without it)? Yes, they are updating infrastructure and it could be updating from new servers and all that. I get it. I just don't see what possibly would have to be changed for software which had no serial protection of whatever kind...so inserting logo almost doubles installation file?
Earlier I read that a guy got infected because he disabled BOC, then it was KAV's fault because it did not remove infection properly...Isn't BOC's MAIN marketing hype compatibility with 3rd party software and the fact that it acts BEFORE your antivirus? If KAV detected infection after guy got infected, then it would most likely kill it before it happened (as it had signatures), and how could KAV mess things up if everyone here said millions of times that it catches stuff before antivirus?
I can understand how this can be extra protection for those who are careless, but I just don't dig that „private club“ thing, that it's better than others and all that. We've no evidence and it's certainly nothing special. Detection rate, performance, features...it is behind competition (at this moment). See no advantage of using it at all as most decent antivirus got you covered well that it will get rid of things before BOC has a chance to remove infection in memory. Besides, noone can really tell how good it performs against others. The only thing now that will be said is: it's free. If you don't like it, don't use it. Which means that you can't say anything negative because you didn't pay for it. | |

| Re: Latest Comodo BoClean Information said by richter35 :*Yawn* This little gem is so overrated, IMO. It does nothing special and yet it lacks a lot of things competition has been offering for quite some time. It took them a month to insert a logo (which I personally don't like and would be better off without it)? Yes, they are updating infrastructure and it could be updating from new servers and all that. I get it. I just don't see what possibly would have to be changed for software which had no serial protection of whatever kind...so inserting logo almost doubles installation file? Earlier I read that a guy got infected because he disabled BOC, then it was KAV's fault because it did not remove infection properly...Isn't BOC's MAIN marketing hype compatibility with 3rd party software and the fact that it acts BEFORE your antivirus? If KAV detected infection after guy got infected, then it would most likely kill it before it happened (as it had signatures), and how could KAV mess things up if everyone here said millions of times that it catches stuff before antivirus? I can understand how this can be extra protection for those who are careless, but I just don't dig that „private club“ thing, that it's better than others and all that. We've no evidence and it's certainly nothing special. Detection rate, performance, features...it is behind competition (at this moment). See no advantage of using it at all as most decent antivirus got you covered well that it will get rid of things before BOC has a chance to remove infection in memory. Besides, noone can really tell how good it performs against others. The only thing now that will be said is: it's free. If you don't like it, don't use it. Which means that you can't say anything negative because you didn't pay for it. Well put!
Thanks richter35!

Don't know about "WE". Do suggest you draw the line here and now. Yawn...your amateurish postings are so boring. So you don't fancy software X, right? Pick a different one and move on. It's as simple as that. | |
