slow bootup

Hi I have nod32 3.0, boclean2.6, cpf2.4, cmf, ST 2.2 with shields. The problem is my bootups can take up to 5 minutes for the cpu to settle! The main factors are boclean, nod & sychost taking time to settle any ideas? I have now put nod into boclean excluder & boclean into nods excluder this has speeded things up a little. Thanks Lyn

BoClean takes a little while to load as it scans your memory when it boots up. ST 2.2 does slow your system a little. I’ll move this to BoClean help topic.

Greetings … NOD32 usually catches up fairly quickly with a new BOClean release, but it’s possible they haven’t yet. So give this a shot and see if it helps for now …

— thanks again to JRB for the instructions which follow:

Start the NOD32 Control Center.
Click on AMON.
In AMON click on Setup.
In AMON setup click on Exclusions.

You can now add files and folders to exclude in AMON.

Exclude the BOClean files and folders, and each of them both in long path format and in short path format.

Here is the list that I myself have excluded:

folders:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMODO\CBOCLEAN
C:\PROGRA~1\COMODO\CBOCLEAN
files:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMODO\CBOCLEAN\BOC4UPD.EXE
C:\PROGRA~1\COMODO\CBOCLEAN\BOC4UPD.EXE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMODO\CBOCLEAN\BOCDRIVE.SYS
C:\PROGRA~1\COMODO\CBOCLEAN\BOCDRIVE.SYS
C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMODO\CBOCLEAN\BOCEXC.EXE
C:\PROGRA~1\COMODO\CBOCLEAN\BOCEXC.EXE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMODO\CBOCLEAN\BOCLEAN.DLL
C:\PROGRA~1\COMODO\CBOCLEAN\BOCLEAN.DLL
C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMODO\CBOCLEAN\BOCORE.EXE
C:\PROGRA~1\COMODO\CBOCLEAN\BOCORE.EXE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMODO\CBOCLEAN\BOC426.EXE
C:\PROGRA~1\COMODO\CBOCLEAN\BOC426.EXE

If you like, you might also want to try to do it the other way around:
Exclude the important NOD32 files in BOClean.
