Agreed. The software should provide an on-demand installation option that suppresses loading of the Cleaner_Validator service, or at least provide settings as a means of suspending and/or permanently disabling the active clean feature. For many experienced users, the increased overhead and potential risk associated with such background processes is unacceptable and unwarranted. Moreover, a manual review of orphaned or corrupt entries is an essential part of the registry cleanup and maintenance process, for which the set-and-forget interface is not well suited. The lack of control and transparency in this incarnation of CSC is a deal killer.

CSC v3.0.167886.37 If Active Clean feature is turned off in the software, then I would expect to not see the service Cleaner_Validator.exe being ran in memory not actively taking up any system resources whenever it wants to.

Hello,

    The service that CSC installs is not used only for Active Clean, but also for providing instant scan. If the service is removed, CSC will not work.

Thanks Razvan Raschitor,

For your explanation of how Active Clean works. I was not totally sure, I had it turned off. I think I will leave it turned on now and let Comodo do my dirty work of cleaning.

Another great Comodo product.   Smiley

Okay.. but for older, slower machines with lower RAM (like my notebook) this makes quite a significant difference. I had to uninstall CSC from my notebook because of this background service. Everything else is superb.
