Help with BOClean, newbie

[Braylon1]

70551 trojans are covered in your current BOC427.XVU file:

After I run BoClean from my taskbar I get a notepad file opening up with that sentence at the top and the list of 70000+ malware.

How do I remove them from my computer to make it run alright once again? I thank everyone and anyone for taking the time to read whether you’re able to help or not.

I’ve read and read and read about BoClean. I’ve been running it and I’ve seen it go from black to green to blue for hours, I’ve not been prompted to delete anything even once and I still have 70000+ trojans. What do I do?

Please let me know how to fix this. :a0

Are you pressing the Covered Malware button?

That is a list of things you are protected from.

Normal behavior is black for maybe ten seconds then green flash.

When something else starting up turns blue.

If malware starts up you will get an unavoidable pop up.

I think you’re right, most of the anti malware stuff I’ve used work differently and even with reading a lot of the info it takes getting used to.

Can you tell me what to do with comodo cleaner? Do I just turn it on and it finds malware on my computer automatically? Then I will be prompted?

My computer for whatever reason has been acting slow for about a week now despite my high speed internet connection. I’ve run several different anti virus and anti adware before getting comodo and I found one trojan 32, I quarantined it then ran windows defender and it found nothing.

Now I’m running comodo and I don’t know if it’s automatically scanning, or whether it has found anything, or if it will, etc.

Hi Braylon1

What do you mean by “comodo cleaner” ? Do you mean Comodo BOClean, what we are talking about here ? Or do you mean Comodo System Cleaner ?

If you want to know how BOClean works, you should read this post from Kevin :

@Kevin McAleavey post:7

… but best way to explain it is that antiviruses are designed to work at the FILE level … better antiviruses can examine files more deeply, have perhaps an “emulator” or other “heuristics” that may or may not help, but in the end EVERY AV (even ours) does its thing by stopping a file from loading, and then examining it in hopes of matching a signature of some sort TO that file before it is allowed to be loaded/run.

BOClean was always designed on a philosophy of “you already HAVE an antivirus” … if the FILE wasn’t detected as harmful, then BOClean will sit there like a bouncer inside the lobby and whatever gets past the front door is OURS. We do a MEMORY scan of a process which has already loaded and begun to execute. Once it’s actually started up, all of those obfuscations at the file level are no longer in use since a computer can ONLY execute a valid program. And to BE valid, any obfuscations must be completely disarmed by the program to allow it to run. So BOClean goes in at THAT level and gives anything which runs a “second opinion.” And yes, we also check associated files and connections after the fact as well … in case the AV misses it. That was ALWAYS the purpose of BOClean, and why it’s proven so useful for over ten years now.

Btw. when you see BOCleans taskbar icon bleeping green about every 10 - 12 seconds it is scanning the memory. And when it finds something you will be noticed with a pop-up you have to answer.

If you have any questions left, feel free to ask them
