BOClean Is It Just For Malwares and Such?

Discontinued Products Comodo BOClean Anti-Malware
#1

i love using all the Comodo softwares but i keep getting bombarded with questions as such if BOClean can do better than some known Anti Rootkit.

i have to dock myself as i have no answer.

if BOClean dont have this kind of protection against rootkit , will it be implemented in the next coming build? (L)

Hi,

BOClean covers trojans, spyware and malicious adware; not viruses nor worms nor rootkits. It will be eventually integrated into the final release of CAVS that will protect against any normal malware, and rootkits are being considered and are likely to be covered probably.

Jappo, I’m not sure where you came up with the misconception that BOClean doesn’t cover rootkits but you’re way off base.

Internet trojan horse programs, spyware, keyloggers, [b]rootkits, pseudorootkits[/b], hijackers, adware, annoyware, email relays, spam proxies, spam relays, scam downloads and email/spam robots ("bots")
Also, worms are typically classified as a network vulnerability exploit, while BOClean doesn't fix your network it will catch what they attempt to install through the hole. So far as viruses, when they were still popular (when was the last time you saw one?) BOClean covered the significant ones that were eluding AV's.

so you mean CBO can catch worms& viruses too? i thought CBO detection level is similar to Antyspyware.

it doesn’t mention anything about viruses/worms

and sorry to put this question here:
i’ve heard that CBO malware sigs will be combined with the next CAVS 3. so does it mean CAVS3 will have “CBO like” skill? or just CBO’s malware signatures?

That is correct.

Talk to marketing.

i've heard that CBO malware sigs will be combined with the next CAVS 3. so does it mean CAVS3 will have [b]"CBO like" skill[/b]? or just CBO's malware signatures?

You’ll need to ask the developers or Melih that question.

Oops sorry, I didn’t know what I’m talking about, did I, will wait for a more qualified response the next time. :-[

No worries, we all make mistakes, and personally I didn’t think BOClean took care of rootkits either, so we both learned something :wink:
