I’ve used Comodo BOClean 4.27 for about a year on a Vista 32-bit machine with no problems. I also have AVG, Spybot Search & Destroy, and Windows Defender. I often scan with ClamWin and Malwarebytes.
Yesterday evening, the BOClean traybar icon disappeared. BOClean was still on the computer, and I could still use the Updater through my Start button. I uninstalled and reinstalled BOClean, and the icon was restored. It was still there this morning. I just turned on my computer, and the traybar icon has disappeared again. I haven’t done anything to change the configuration.
I’m no computer pro, and the article had my head swimming in minutes. So many approaches, and I wouldn’t know how to execute most of them. Is there any particular thing you’d recommend?
P.S. The traybar icon came on when I booted up this morning.
As far as I remember there was only one report here ( But I can’t find it right now :-[ ) from a member who’s fix was related to UPnP. But I can’t remember if he simply used the “The Ostuni Workaround” ( that is hiding the device ) from the link, or “More radical: stop UPnP services” ( which speaks for itself ). I will see if I can dig it up in the next few days
I use a Vista computer. In Vista, UPnP is called Network Discovery. Network Discovery is turned off, and has been all along. I don’t know how to hide UPnP devices, since there’s no “My Network Places” in Vista, or anything like it that I can find. I’m not sure that I have any UPnP devices to hide. The printer is my only shared device.
