I bought a new HP PC with Vista Home Premium last month and was running
Comodo BOClean v4.25 with no trouble until recently. The last two days,
whenever I reboot a Windows icon appears in my system tray with a message
saying one program was blocked from startup. The program is Comodo BOClean.
Every time I reboot, I have to click on this icon and give BOClean permission
to run.

I've repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled BOClean, clicking "Run as
Administrator," but after rebooting Windows keeps inexplicably blocking it
from starting. I have no idea why this is happening and I can't find any way
to stop Vista/Windows Defender from blocking BOClean. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Either roll back to XP if your "Vista ready" hardware permits it or
install an open source operating system like Ubuntu or pclinuxos. You
are just beginning to see the limitations of Vista and how it tries to
control your computer.

I think a program compatibility update just came out a couple of days ago.
It probably killed your app. Vista stopped PC Anywhere 11.1 from working (it
would at least run remotes before) with a compatibility update. I had to
unistall that update until Symantec finally came out with PCA 12.

You need to stop posting such ignorant bs that has absolutely nothing at
all to do with Vista.
You've been warned about doing just such a thing numerous times before
in the past.
Now you need to comply with that request.

Oh, I'm sure Alias is shaking in his boots, the newsgroup clown warned
him he better be careful or else.

Or else what you clueless nitwit?

a. You'll rant and rave even more?
b. You'll stamp your feet?
c. You'll call more people trolls, liars and drunks?
d. You'll hold your breath until you turn blue?
e. You'll lie more than you do now?

Frankie, you're just a world class buffoon and putz.

I'd hoped for a suggestion less drastic than installing a different operating
system to solve what should be a minor problem. I suspected it might be a
recent Windows Vista "reliability" update which is causing the problem. My
notions of "reliability" and "compatibility" have never coincided with
Microsoft's.

I rarely visit this forum. Based on the posts subsequent to my question
(with the notable exception of Reggie Dunbar's), this board appears to be
infested with immature dolts. Pity.

I do not know anything about Windows Defender. Is there a Safe list listed in there by any chance that you can put the Comod BOClean in.

Just a suggestion.

Otherwise you might ask in the Windows Defender newsgroup . Someone there most likely can advise you on this issue that you are encountering

Thank you, Peter. I may check out that newsgroup.

I thought Windows Defender was simply an anti-spyware program. I used
AutoRuns to block Windows Defender from startup since I also have Spy Sweeper
for MSN but it runs anyway. Defender seems to be integral with the Vista OS.

I still think one of the recent Vista updates is the culprit. What I find
peculiar is that I am currently operating with two FirstDefense-ISR snapshots
on my PC. Both snapshots have all Windows Vista updates installed. The
snapshot with NOD32 and the Windows firewall is the one which blocks BOClean
from startup. The snapshot with Kaspersky Internet Security v7 isn't blocking
BOClean. The only software change to either snapshot in the last two days has
been the Windows updates, but BOClean is only being blocked in the NOD32
snapshot. I can't fathom why this is happening. The Windows updates/Windows
Defender configuration is identical in both snapshots.

Comodo is still working on getting its products to play fair with Vista.
I'm waiting for their firewall to be, and that, in unison with BOClean will
be good. They say it will be ready soon.

Sure it does. It's not my fault your ability to understand things is
