CSC 3.0 - feedback

Upgraded from CRC to CSC 3.0 and used it to clean my system. It seemed to work very well. Then I started running other applications and found the computer running significantly slower. Over a short period of time it started exhibiting a number of unusual things, which led me to believe the memory was being corrupted, then froze. After rebooting without running CSC the same thing repeated.

Uninstalled CSC and everything seemed back to normal so I reinstalled the Registry Cleaner to get back to my original configuration and ran it.

After several days, knock on wood, I have a happy computer again.

Well all I can say is, “WOW!” What a big improvement since last time I used it a long time ago, this has done it for me and CCleaner is no longer, loving the auto clean (cannot be bothered to find out if that is correct name) feature that it has.

Well done Comodo, hope you get more people using this product, as it is very nice!

PS- Now all I need is for Comodo Programs Manager to support Windows 7 64bit so I can compare between that and PSI 2.0 lol… sorry OT.

Great to hear that AyeAyeCaptain :slight_smile: as always we will continually improve the product and always eager for feedback…

thanks

After a bad experience with pre-V3.0 System Cleaner (had to System Restore to get it back since uninstall didn’t work) I decided to try the latest version. My platform is Win7 Home Premium 64 bit, dual core (dual thread) i3-M330, 4GB RAM, regularly patched, and used every day.

Since installing a few days ago I experienced two BSODs, something I have not seen since starting using this machine in April '10. I also saw a tremendous jump in RAM memory utilization due to the Cleaner Validator (I think that is the name) process, which would wake up and suck down vast quantities of CPU on a regular basis even when I wasn’t doing anything with the product. After all that I had to uninstall it to reclaim my stable system. I appreciated the vastly improved UI and functionality of the product, but feel that it is way too invasive at a deep level in the OS to be worth my while. I was not suffering from performance issues previously, and take great care regarding privacy with other tools.

I love other Comodo products like Internet Security Premium, Easy VPN, Digital Certs, etc. The Registry Cleaner, however, just doesn’t play well for me now as in the past. It seems to go over the line in providing the services it offers at the cost of system stability.

I’d love to hear any feedback from developers, other users, and smart people who might have any insight why my experience with this tool has been so abysmal.

Hello,

Do you have CSC build 53 installed? Can you tell us if you have any "special" software installed, like security software, boot time defrag software? Did you used Active Clean or Safe Delete?

  • I installed CSC_3.0.172695.53_xp_vista_server2003_server2008_win7.exe
  • I am running:
  1. MyDefrag v4.3.1, which does run every 24 hours. I typically hibernate at the end of each day and it starts up automatically at the next boot restore.
  2. Comodo Internet Security Premium v5.3.176757.1236
  3. TruCrypt v7, but not FDE. Only on an external flash drive.
  4. Secunia PSI v2.0.0.1003
  5. A multitude of plugins for Firefox: WoT, Lastpass, NoScript, AdBlock+, BetterPrivacy, HTTPS-everywhere
    (the above are the bulk of security utils that I am using, but doesn’t come close to all the other software that is resident in this machine)

I did not use Active Clean or Safe Delete?

Thanks, we will install this software on out machines and try to reproduce the bug.

Comodo system cleaner is really good… ;D

But lacks 2 features like an uninstaller and a start up programs deactivator… :embarassed: I guess it is coming in the next version…

[at]languy99: Hey you are doin a great job at you tube… your videos are fantastic… Keep up the good work… I will subscribe you when I join YouTube… :a0

Can CSC and all the “Round the Clock” program open your default browser (in my case Dragon) not IE when clicking news feeds ETC.

Will do in next versions. Thanks.

I have used CRC, and CSC, in my computer practice to clean client’s registries.

However, due to

[1] eating up way too many cpu cycles

[2] weird bugs, such as deleting all new shortcuts placed on an XP desktop

… I now install it, use it to clean up the registry and files, then uninstall it.

Looking forward to future less-buggy versions.

Downloaded the latest version 2 days ago.
Ran it under Windows 7 64-bit.
Let it clean up - trashed the system :o :cry: :-TD!
Managed to boot in safe mode, but restore didn’t work, still had problems.
Finally fixed it by booting from the Windows 7 DVD and doing a system restore.
This effectively uninstalled CSC, and that’s the way it’s going to stay.

I tried to report the problem to the support email address, but received a reply later that they didn’t accept reports if you weren’t registered. wtf! Why didn’t they say so when I submitted the report?

33

Hello,

 Please tell us more details about the problem. Did you get a BSOD? Also, are you talking about 3.0 build 53?

Thanks!

After allowing CSC to do it’s thing, Firefox wouldn’t load at all and Windows Explorer couldn’t open some disks, then locked up. Rebooting did not solve the problem. did nothing. If none of these essential programs worked, then I didn’t consider it worth continuing the investigation. There was no BSOD. The system would apparently boot as normal, then the above problems would appear immediately.

As to version, it was CSC_3.0.172695.53_xp_vista_server2003_server2008_win7.exe (10,577,152 bytes) which looks like 3.0 build 53 to me, but I’m not going to reinstall it just to read the “About” tab. Sorry, but I just don’t trust it.
