Added “Install Path” display and “Open in Explorer” right-click option (to open the Install Path) to the Uninstall/Delete tab > Installed Programs* tabs’ item results when that information is found in the registry. Added options to the shared button for all of the *Rules* tabs under the Uninstall/Delete tab. Added instructions to the Uninstall/Delete tab’s ‘File System/Registry Deletions’ area. Tweaked existing right click options under various areas of the Uninstall/Delete tab so that options made...
Change: dUninstaller and File System/Registry deletion functionality has been copied to the new “Uninstall/Delete” tab in the main d7x interface, and some parts of this functionality has been improved. The redundant functionality will be removed from the KillEmAll interface in a future release, but has been left there for now with a message redirecting you to the d7x Uninstall/Delete tab. Note that the d7x tab name/location may be changed in the future based on user...
Added Windows service related repairs specific to Windows 10 version 21H2. Some Info Report tweaks with regard to Windows Update status reporting, which wasn’t previously reported for Windows 10+, also Last Windows Update is now reported for Windows Vista+. UI tweaks for Windows Update settings (d7x functionality), also now the window loads with the d7x Config settings pre-populated, rather than the current system settings. Additionally, all settings are enabled on all versions of Windows now,...
Moved the “Start Auto Mode” buttons from various tabs along with a few other ‘action’ buttons to a new common/shared button on the bottom right of d7x UI, which changes in function depending on which tab you are on (similar to KillEmAll’s interface.) Optional checkbox options on some tabs have followed the action button to the bottom right area of the tab. Added “Full Auto Mode (All Tabs)” feature to the new button on the...
Added option to new User Folder Redirection feature, for “No username in final directory” so you can redirect user folders to the root of a drive, e.g. “D:\Desktop” rather than “D:\Mr. Foo\Desktop“ Added installed .NET Framework versions to the Software section of the Info Report. Added “Last Windows Update” and “Last Shutdown Time” to the Info Report. Removed “Anti-Spyware” from the Info Report if it was the same program as “Anti-Virus”, also removed blank “Last...
Added new feature “User Folder Redirection” (under the d7x > Users drop down menu) by user request. This will redirect user folders (optionally select Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and/or Videos) to a new location, and automatically move the existing folder and files to the new location after successful redirection. See video at the bottom of this post for a walk-through demonstration. This feature is exactly the equivalent of manually changing the location of each...
That may not make sense to many, so let me break that down. CryptoPrevent optionally sends email alerts, but you have to configure your own email account in CryptoPrevent so it can do this. Previously, this meant configuring your email account’s SMTP server and putting in your email password. Now, if you have a Google account email (GMail or Google Workplace) this is no longer the case, you simply need to enter in your Google...
New: d7x now works with GMail without an SMTP server configuration, enabling secure login via OAuth2 so you won’t need to disable 2-Factor Authentication or use Google generated App Passwords with your account. (See video below) You may also wish to view our privacy and data collection policy here. System Restore repair now attempts to enable System Restore (and if run outside of Auto Mode it will also create a restore point) and if either...
(repost) CryptoPrevent version 21.7.23 adds a new setting for “Controlled Folder Access” which is not a CryptoPrevent protection but a newer protection provided by Windows 10 and Windows 11, so the setting will now appear in CryptoPrevent on these operating systems. We’ve determined that when configured properly, Controlled Folder Access works very well with CryptoPrevent to block unknown ransomware threats. It works by blocking all unknown applications from accessing data in protected folders on your...
CryptoPrevent v21.7.1 has been released and is ready for update for all premium copies of CryptoPrevent, or the latest version can be downloaded for installation from the main page here (look for the download button on the right.) Added new ‘ShadowGuard’ protection to protect volume shadow copy data from deletion, and to terminate any application that attempts to do so. Added new maintenance features (Clear the Windows Store Cache, and Create a System Restore Point...
