This Free program was suggested in my Windows XP newsgroup.

Comodo BOClean : Anti-Malware Version 4.27

Anybody familiar with it? does it set up a new Service in XP? I stopped
using Ad-Aware for that reason. I've got enough Services in XP. ;-)

Service and driver, intended to be resident.
Probably nothing for you.

At the bottom of the page from the link:

It can be run continuously as a background application to watch and wait
for malware to appear (recommended) or it can be configured to run once,
permitting manual scans (not recommended) from a desktop icon.

So I could just find the Service it uses and disable it? The run manual
scans.

I would say (running it too long to remember )
it should let you choose at startup.
In any case, you can disable service,
or by autoruns utility by sysinternals
disable both service and driver.

BUT, it is possible that it looses a half of its teeth in this working
mode.

After I ask the question I thought the same thing. It's designed to run
in the background and not really as a on demand scanner. I still might
give it a try. Thanks for your input.

I ran it for years before it was sold to Comodo. I felt very good
having it (really!). Never knew whether it did anything for me other
than updating, since it never found anything for me. Maybe I was just
lucky that I was never attacked. Does anyone have any experience with it
finding something? How did you "get" wat it found?

Did you run it on XP? If you did, did it ever create any problems for
you? I don't mind a program not finding anything, that's a good thing,
as long as the program doesn't impact my OS.

On the other hand, like you ask, if it never finds anything is it worth
having?

I run/ran it on XP. Never had a problem or a notification by it. Also,
I can't recall any of my AV programs finding anything but false
positives. I guess that is good, but I am wondering what I have those
programs for really. I am paranoid enough to keep them, though, and
updated!!!
