Comodo BOClean 4.26

Publisher's Description:

Comodo BOClean protects you against a full spectrum of malware, automatically removing these programs from memory, your hard disk and your registry without the need to reboot or drop your internet connection. It safely neutralizes these threats instantly without any risk of damage to your files or computer. It is designed for central administration in network environments and can be customized in a number of ways. It can also be hidden on a desktop to protect against tampering by end users. Because it is automatic and runs in the background, there is no need to depend on user training or vigilance to secure your network. It is also excellent for individual users and "home" networks. It will shut down an intrusion long before the person on the other end has a chance to so much as "ping" the victim's machine, much less start grabbing data. When an intrusion occurs, it will stop it instantly. No other security program from any other manufacturer works this way.

"Always"? Don't you mean: "Ever since I was up late one night drinking Ny-Quil in my mommy's basement, trolling around BetaNews?"

I always knew and stated what a digital turd BOClean was, but the list of those in agreement was a short one, because of the fanboy user base and the complete lack of a trial version. I find it funny how many people agree NOW, given that more people are able to try it.

Simple fact is that no matter what anti-virus or adware/spyware program you use, you will always be playing catch-up ball. No program, as things stand now can be developed that anticipate future attacks. The best defense is to just plain old common sense: don't open email that you don't know the sender, don't go to questionable sites and don't download programs unless you are assured that they are safe. Yes, have a decent firewall, anti-virus, and adware/spyware programs but use common sense. In the end that is the best defense. As far as this program it is average like most of these programs. nothing more-nothing less.

Good program generally, although I too have seen a couple of false positives. One of those blocked a system file of all things. My main gripe really is that each time a new version of the program is released, it has to be manually downloaded, the old version uninstalled, the machine rebooted, then the new version installed. So although autoupdates are carried out daily, that doesn't extend to the main program. So that limits the user base to those capable of carrying out the above tasks in the right sequence. I know many home users who, if they were using the old version, would happily carry on using it until it dropped, blissfully unaware that it had been superceded by an update.

Some testimonials of Comodo BOClean praise it for finding malware their antivirus missed. Well, after it shut down a program I myself made because it said it was a trojan, I wonder if the malware BOClean finds are too often false positives. I believe Comodo should provide data on the risk of false positives and otherwise improve BOClean's sensitivity.
