Comodo System Cleaner - Comparison

[Guest]

larlyles,
what would it matter. There is absolutely NO difference between making a restore point before scan Vs. before removal. Because most registry cleaners will NOT remove anything during the scan. ONLY when you tell it to!
atnskyline.

You are absolutely right, but my point was that RFA also facilitates creation of a restore point, just like CRC. The time when it creates it, before scanning for errors, was just superfluous information.

How can you say CSC is 100% safe? I used the reg cleaner with safe delete rebooted as stated & windows would not load because a file was missing ie corrupted! Luckily I have a recovery disc! How many don't? How many have a genuine copy of xp? By the way my xp is genuine.

Agree, there are actually events where the cleaning isn't 100% safe... I encountered that in CPC.

yes but if all of your settings were set correctly, then your pc would restart and give you the option of finalizing the clean or reverting to before. It is 100% safe, you just need to know how to use the safe cleaning.

I know how to use it. Also reproduced the issue several times. It was not 100% safe...

I know you know how to use it, arent you one of its developers?! I was talking to lyn

Sorry

No, I'm just a user with moderator status, non-hired by Comodo. We're often confused with the staff. I do however like testing CSC so I guess if I would have any job at Comodo, it would be testing CSC in different environments.

ok lol

I always used JV16, but I always felt it wasn't scanning everything. Ran JV16, then ran Comodo... picked up 96 more items.

Hi Mjj09, I bought & use JV16 Powertools 2009 and I'm totally satisfied and quite secure in how it cleans without system errors and or without other application load errors or missing data comparatively to CSC which gave me BSODs. See the different modules here, note you might have to load this link a second time to actually see all the modules in an interactive online demo:

See the comparisons here: (*Note: CSC is included and ranked 5th overall among 31 others tested)

I personally prefer peace of mind when having to cleanup and optimize the registry...

it does not matter how many "errors" it detects. If 1 program picks up 1 error and another picks up 2000 "errors" it doesnt mean the one with more errors is better. It means it wants to look impressive. A good product (CSC, Auslogics) won't get as many errors as possible to make it look better than the compettitor.


Just reminding you not to look at that. A good program detects what needs to be.

Well, you are looking at it conversely. Just because a software detects less errors doesn't mean that it doesn't miss any. Or that it has less false positives. How would you define a "poor" registry cleaner, then? What if a registry cleaner removes lesser errors than CSC? Does that mean CSC is trying to impress? No. It might look like I am exaggerating, but I am just trying to put it across clearly.

I have had CSC causing problems by remove legitimate entries,  whereas RegVac, removing 2000 errors, has  never harmed my PC.

How do you decide if a cleaner removes "real errors" or valid entries? You won't know it unless you do a test.

To me a good registry cleaner should be able to 1] Dig deep, 2] Find "real" errors and 3] Have close to none false positives. Very few registry cleaners have all the three qualities.

comodo  hasnt ever hurt my PC, every PC is differnet though. I nderstand where you are comng from. And no if a program gets fewer it doent mean much, but I believe that programs shouldnt boast about how many they clean out.



I stick to CSC and Auslogics

Hello,

Leoni and lyn... did BSODs reproduced in the last version? As you know, this is a new technology, and of course on some system we failed, maybe still do. But we are working on it and constantly improve it. We are making worth while. It's simple to make an app to delete something... it's not that easy to come up with something new and implement it in such short notice(as we did with Safe Delete and Registry Protection).

The idea is this: CSC does not limit the user in its cleaning actions. Except for what comes by default, user can do a lot of things by himself. So, for this we get a lot of          when something wrong happens. We also constantly add support for new applications and some of the users get to find out(in an ugly way) that some are miscofigured. At this point we had to come up with something: How can we keep all this and still protect the user from the unknown = all sorts of scenarios that not even dev + qa can come up with. And this is how Safe Delete and Registry Protection functions came.

Also, CSC had to grow in one month as others in one year . Because of this, we have might damaged users in the process (some of them ignored the BETA notice ) and we are sorry for this(but still I sincerely thank you for all your help), but I can assure you that CSC is on the right path and is to become the best product of it's kind. And again for this I have to  and  and  not only the Comodo employees involved into this(DEVs, QAs, SUPPORTs) but also YOU.

Conclusion: keep hitting us:) with criticism, bugs, etc. it can only make CSC better.
