BOClean 4.26 is a program to detect and remove malware from your computer.
The list of known malware includes Internet trojan horse programs, spyware, keyloggers, rootkits, pseudorootkits, hijackers, adware, annoyware, email relays, spam proxies, spam relays, scam downloads and email/spam robots.
Removing them will keep your data safe, and your system working without the delays that malware oftenly causes, while performing its malicious job.
The first thing that the program will do when you install it is connect to Internet to retrieve the latest updates, and then tell you it needs to reboot the system in order to start the kernel driver for maximum protection.
The program will then rest on your system tray, until you open it right clicking over its icon.
When you do that, you will see the program´s main menu, from which you can shut down the program, configure it, check for updates, see the list of covered malware, examine the reports you´ve generated and exclude certain programs from BOClean´s scan.
Pros
- The program protects your system from a wide variety of malware, is oftenly updated and free
Cons
- None
Daily updates. On access prevention works and has caught 2 malwares before they installed, one on a "safe" site. Not fancy, not many bells and whistles, and uses little memory AFTER it has loaded; sometimes, at startup, can be a memory-hog. But not too bad for FREE.
I have found this resident scanning anti-parasite utility very effective in keeping my browser free of disruptive formally disruptive data-miners etc. Since using this I have not needed to use an other manually run anti-spyware utilities that are usually recommended. A bonus is the license authorises use in systems for both home domestic/student and also business and so removes any doubt as to supported usage. There is no manual scanning function so i suggest first run ones currently effective manual scan anti-spyware utilites to clean system to satisfaction, then uninstall, then install BOclean. Only one characteristic to make allowance for which is much longer boot up times due to auto-scanner of critical files at start-up, so I suggest disable any auto internet connection programs and manually launch them after all other startup programs are running. Highly recommended utility
