Comodo BOClean Wishlist 1

I have these settings.

This should work fine, checking one time every 6 hours should be fine.

Yes, normally. But on a computer that is suspended every day and is only used for a few hours it never updates.
Yes, OK, I can (and I do) manually update when I remember, but I usually have better things to do. After all, it does boast an AUTO-update function and that feature maintains CBO's integrity.

This is something that should be considered in the next build IMO.
I'm moving this to the       Comodo BOClean Wishlist 1.
Thank you for sharing your concerns.

Ummm .... wouldn't changing the update interval to a lower value than the suspend interval fix the problem?

Ewen :-)

I believe the issue is that you cannot change BOClean's update interval to below 6 hours, if his PC suspends in less then 6 hours then I can understand where the issue is. If this is the case then maybe in the next release they should allow us to set it to a lower time period then 6 hours.

Thank you cat for listening. I did raise this in the past and hit a brick wall.

Yes, this is the issue. Thank you.
I suppose the limit is 6 hours so as not to overload the servers with over-frequent requests. If this is a real concern then change the algorithm for when the update timer starts. Or just look at the date timestamp of the last update file and automatically update if it is too old (ie over 24 hours). Kevin's a clever chap, I'm sure he can work something out

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try the 6 hour setting.
The problem with manual updating is that the computer that I am referring to
is located in the library of a retirement home (used by every one and his brother!)
and I don't go there frequently. I spent several hours getting a lot of crap off it and
don't want to do this frequently.

Sorry to say that the interface looks messy and even the installer too ( should automate the installation process ) 

the detection techniques are gud but the product will reach the customer only if the interface is good. think you will take this as a suggestion and provide some what good interface by coming versions.

sorry if i wrote something wrong ( i am expecting good products from comodo )

this s how the dialogbox appears !!!!! after i clicking the finished button .

Trivial bit of interface clutziness:  when you run the Program Excluder, (by clicking the tray icon) the BOClean menu stays on top of the whole mess and cannot be closed until you are done with the Excluder.  Sure, you can move it out of the way, but it would only make sense if it either closed (the BOClean menu, that is) or if it were to be under the Excluder window.  Also, the File Manager (?) window always appears on top of the "Remove Item/Done" buttons.  Confusing for a newbie, but having to always move the window to finish the job is annoying too.  Maybe the Excluder window should be opened maximized to prevent this?  It would also provide more space for dragging files onto.   Finally, I agree with the fellow who suggested that a hint about "Drag files onto Excluder window" would help new users and save a lot of head scratching.  Maybe a small dialog window with a "do not show this message in the future" checkbox.

Much lower CPU usage, and a bit more lower cpu usage, but really. 

Nicer GUI, like CFP and CAVS has.

Built-in chm help file.

Whishlist:

1.) Get rid of the really weird scanning window:

Code:

2.) Remove uninstaller "%systemroot%\UNBOC.EXE" when uninstalling.

3.) Needs a GUI upgrade big time! Match the GUI of the Firewall v3 please...

[ausman007]

Combine BOClean with Anti-virus (may need to change it's name anti-blah...) and get rid of BOClean altogether. Don't waste time adding a odd bell or a whistle to BOClean!

The average user (rightly or wrongly) does expect the their anti-virus product to protect itself while remove all the nasties of their PC.

If Comodo wants their product to be used by more people (than techos with time on their hands to work it all out) then they need to make things simpler and more intuitive - BOClean (while it might be a great product functionally fails by these other measures).

PS.  Ask yourself who is going to answer the question of every potential new user - What the heck does BOClean stand for?  Once they know about "Back Oriface", how are you going to explain why it's still relevant?  After you've installed it watch as they try to figure out how to acknowledge  the dialog boxes that take up 1/5 of their screen and ask you is this product finished development yet... 

Sorry if this comes across too harshly just can't figure out if the end user is really understood  in all this if you want the products to succeed more widely...

I will use BOClean to monitor the system all the time again, once the CPU usage problem is corrected.  Great product, but its use of 30-50% of the CPU every ten seconds is ridiculous.

Hi, one more annoyance with Excluder: it gives an "Integrity check failure alert" every time on startup, if an excluded file resides on a volume which is not mounted yet (removable or encrypted or flash disk, etc).
And, btw, this alert window does not respond for ~ 1 minute (on my machine).
I think it's better to skip integrity check of files which cannot be read at the moment.

CBOC 4.25, XP SP2, iC2D 2,67, 1G RAM...

Hi Mahal - Do you run Comodo Firewall Pro also?  If you have not put the CFP files on the Excluder list, there is a conflict when BOC tries to inspect the CFP processes (Protected from such inspection).  There may be similar conflicts with other security software.
