Over the next few weeks (or longer) we’ll be changing our name from “Foolish IT” to “d7x Technology” so don’t be alarmed, the makers of d7x and CryptoPrevent are not changing… it’s still us! Expect changes to include everything from website branding and domain name to the name appearing on your credit/bank statements for purchases of our products. More to come…
We will be undergoing website maintenance on Saturday, March 31st between the hours of 1-6pm EDT. Expect that the website may or may not be accessible (in part or entirely) during this time-frame. We will repost when the site is available again. Our other web presences such as the support queue, billing/invoice access, IRC, download server, and all other servers used by various software for application updates and/or validation will NOT be affected by the […]
This morning we released d7x v18.3.17.1 (yay!) just as it became obvious that existing versions will not update, and most any d7xRDT packages will also fail to download or launch d7x. If you have d7x v18.3.16.0 or above, your copy should update to today’s release without issue; not so with any previous releases. * d7x v18.2.3.0 and below will fail to communicate with our secure download site, including receiving even the notification of any new […]
As many CryptoPrevent users may be aware, “vssadmin.exe” is a setting automatically enabled with the “default” protection plan, which blocks any usage of this file. This setting prevents launch of the vssadmin.exe file via SRP (aka Software Restriction Policies) a built-in Windows mechanism of controlling what is and is not allowed on a PC, although it is only configurable with native Windows tools on the server/workstation versions of the operating system, but not the “Home” editions found on […]
v9.0.0.0 (January 17th, 2017) User Interface Updated-adds additional explanation on features and functionality as well as streamlines options Maintenance options have been added which are powered by d7x technology (manually running maintenance is available under the Free and Premium versions, scheduling automated maintenance is a premium feature only) FolderWatch HoneyPot and the Quick Access tray are now available for usage under the free license; this makes all the protections CryptoPrevent provides free for personal usages […]
Resolved: Recent download failures from website links and buttons
We have now corrected recent download failure issues from our end. We apologize for the trouble, and thank you for your understanding! ISSUE: Download failures resulting in errors such as “HTTP 500”, “ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE”, and “This site can’t be reached”. SCOPE: Affected all downloads using encrypted download links (ending in “/?enc_dl_action=process&file=” with some additional random characters) which are served from various product pages on our website, or received in various auto-response emails from our website. STATUS: Resolved. […]
d7II to d7x update error corrected, please accept my personal apology for any disruption in usage!
Please accept that I deeply regret any inconveniences you and others have experienced due to the upgrade failures. A corrupted archive file (containing the final part of the update to the current d7x “FastTrack” release) was replaced on our servers this morning (around 12 hours ago) which resolved the issue in our testing (using the same copies of d7II on the same systems that consistently reproduced the behavior.) To be clear, the issue resolved today on October […]
d7II subscribers will notice their copy of d7II v3.6.86 (or earlier) now promotes that an update exists to v3.6.87 (there is no actual code change for this specific .exe version; the version number is incremented to silence d7II update notifications if used after this d7x release.)
v8.0.4.3 (October 5th, 2017) Performance increases for save/load of Bulk/White-Label configurations Performance increases in the application of Bulk/White-Label settings at time of install Performance increases on application startup Several other minor performance improvements Corrected issue where blacklist command line option may have whitelisted in some cases Bulk registration data is now handled entirely via HTTPS (Note registration data was always encrypted prior to being sent, this mainly eliminated a fallback v7 Bulk communication method) Several […]
d7x v0.0.0.90 just released adds Windows 10 to custom app platform/OS restriction settings. If not configured, behavior should not change. Backwards compatibility note: This is the only area in d7x configurations where d7II may (and likely will) erase the setting entirely when used to edit the same custom app configuration. Although we’re not looking to add new features in d7x Alpha at the moment until we have tested everything, had good feedback from testers, and are […]
