COMODO System Cleaner 2.1.114194.1 Public Release

Razvan_Raschitor · October 30, 2009, 2:10pm

Hello

  The file and registry monitor driver will run even when CSC is closed. 
  If a junk file or registry that needs to be cleaned is created the driver adds this file/registry into a list, so that when you want to clean your computer with System-Cleaner, the results list is already available, saving you scanning time.

In the ‘Misc’ section of CSC you have the choice to use/not use the monitor when performing a scan.

Please explain HOW the installed version is better tuned, and WHY it is faster.

I think I read a statement by Melih that the portable and installed engines were identical.

How can the installed version be better tuned ?
Does it get a more accurate start-up update for applications.ini etc. to tell it what can be zapped ?
Does it get a more accurate reading of the registry to see what needs fixing ?
Does it have a higher level of authority/ownership to excavate stubborn registry keys that have permissions that exclude all authorities from reading / modifying / etc. ?

I accept that a Portable version on a flash drive will take longer launching than for an Installed version on a SATA system drive, but regardless of which version and where they are stored, will they not both execute from RAM the same code with equal speed, so that scanning and cleaning will take them the same time ?

Are there any factors other than location that would make the portable version slower if it was unzipped onto the same system drive as an Installed version would be ?

N.B. I far prefer portable applications/tools etc.
I never have difficulty updating or deleting, and I get no excess bloat to burden my computer.

I hate installed applications etc. because they tangle up the registry and un-installing or updating has often required me to use a registry editor and take ownership of keys that refuse removal.
In addition there is the bloat of isms.msi, a 7.5 MB CSC installer that I would not dare to remove in case that is the only mechanism for un-installing or updating. In my view that is 7.5 MB of bloat on-top of 11.3 MB of the CSC code I need.

Alan

Hello,

The only difference is that in the installed version, the applications database is updated automatically where in the portable version you need to update yourself by running UpdateApplications.exe.

Besides that, the two versions are the same and work the same.

Will it consume a considerable amount of resources, affecting the system speed, in turn?

Hello,

We designed the registry and file monitor so it will not affect your system’s performance.
It will run it’s calculations only when the processor is not doing anything.

Just curious. Why did the name change to Comodo System-Cleaner (notice the hyphen)? A couple of versions back it was just Comodo System Cleaner (no hyphen). CIS isn’t named Comodo Internet-Security. The over use of hyphens has brought about a shortage for telephone numbers. We are now seeing periods used in phone numbers instead of the usual hyphens (example: 555-555-5555 is now 555.555.5555). This now creates a shortage of periods. I’ve noticed on the BBC website that abbreviations for mister and missus are now missing the periods (example Mr., Mrs. is now Mr, Mrs etc.) It’s a slippery slope we are heading down! Please be careful on the use of our precious hyphens!

;D
