Yesterday I was doing some installs and upgrades of Comodo’s free antimalware software BOClean, now version 4.27.
While I don’t expect anything to go wrong, here’s what I did anyway.
- Quick System State Backup just because these workstations haven’t had one in quite some time. That updates the C:\Windows\Repair directory with current copies of the important registry hives.
- Created a restore point, labeled it “Before BOClean 4.27″
- Shutdown any current copy of BOClean running
- Uninstalled old version of BOClean
- Installed new version
Fortunately nothing did go wrong, but it never hurts to protect yourself with a few simple, free insurance policies against a current or future problem.
I have how to videos for the system state backup and restore point if you are unsure how.
