New option to block the execution of SYSKEY.EXE as recently being exploited by malware. See this thread for the initial idea, thanks Simon!
dUninstaller 2.0 Released with Whitelisting / New Command Line Scripting Option
Whitelisting: dUninstaller as you may know has uninstall definitions functionality that is treated as a wildcard search term, case insensitive. So you could in theory put “toolbar” in the definitions, and any installer entry with “toolbar” in the name will be uninstalled. The downside is you may end up uninstalling legitimate toolbars you wish to leave installed. Now with the whitelist functionality, you can whitelist legitimate apps, and just the same as the uninstall definitions it...

Death to Intel PROset!! (and my apologies to Netgear)
Just a friendly reminder to my tech friends out there, NEVER install Intel PROset for a wireless NIC or any NIC for that matter. Here’s the story: I built a new main rig recently for my home office, which is too far from the router to run a cable, and powerline adapters don’t jive well from here to there… So in my new rig I got a sweet new Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260.

CryptoPrevent v4.3.2 Released
Not a big change and certainly NOT one that will affect home users, but larger business users may be affected. v4.3.2 – added support for redirected %appdata% directories (Windows folder redirection typically only used on larger networks.) https://www.d7xtech.com/cryptoprevent-malware-prevention/
