About Nick

Founder and Developer - After over a dozen years "in the trenches" as a computer repair technician specializing in malware removal, I came to focus on a software development hobby. Initially I created tools to assist technicians like myself with the inefficient, repetitive, and mundane tasks PC techs face daily, in order to provide a far more efficient means of getting the job done. Later came an interest in using my development skills and tech experience for prevention of malware...

dBug v1.1 – Now with WinPE Support!!

Jul 29, 2014

Basically a tech spoke to me about an alternative to HitmanPro Kickstarter, used to take out the tough malware that doesn’t let you run anything from inside Windows (including safe mode/command prompt.) Immediately I thought hey, why I don’t I take my recently invented dBug, and make it work offline?! See the official page for usage/details/download: https://www.d7xtech.com/vb6-projects/dbug/ Recent Changes: 1.1 – Added a WinPE mode so dBug can run from a WinPE environment and make its...

New Utility: dBug

Jul 27, 2014

Yes, another “d” product! dBug is a tiny utility that serves the same purpose as KillEmAll, to neutralize malware that prevents you from running anti-malware tools, while taking a far different approach and working much faster. dBug does NOT locate or remove malware. It merely provides you with the opportunity to run anti-malware tools or manually find and remove the malware. More info + video + download here: https://www.d7xtech.com/vb6-projects/dbug/

New free util, dErase

Jul 7, 2014

EDIT: dErase v2.0 just released with a user interface and combining both executables. The freeware dErase is a tiny app designed for one purpose only, to delete files and/or directories, with optional secure deletion routines. Simply drag n’ drop the file or directory tree you want to delete onto the dErase executable to select that object for deletion. What makes dErase different from standard delete utilities, is that it will ignore file system ownership/permissions entirely while deleting. dErase Homepage

NEW! Deploy CryptoPrevent as an MSI via GPO!

Jul 3, 2014

Previously, CryptoPrevent only came in a standard EXE based installer file, which is great and can be deployed silently/automatically via command line parameters, and this is ok for those with RMM tools to deploy with. Unfortunately most admins of domains were stuck without a way to deploy CryptoPrevent via GPO, as it was not available as an MSI based installer. Well, I finally figured out the tools for MSI creation, yay! So now when your purchase...

dUninstaller v3.5 released, update now!

Jun 29, 2014

v3.5 ATTN: dUninstaller log file renamed from dUninstaller.log to dUninstaller_log.txt (to make it easier to open the file in notepad for quick viewing.) dUninstaller log file now shows when an application has failed to uninstall (may be somewhat prone to a false positive when multiple apps contain the same string of text, e.g. “program name” and “program name v2.0” ONLY IF “program name” is the first one to get uninstalled instead of the v2.0 of it....

dMaintenance Home Edition Released!

Jun 28, 2014

If you’ve followed Foolish IT in the past few years, you may remember dMaintenance, which got some attention on some popular tech sites at the time. What was dMaintenance was later revamped in dSupportSuite and even the popular technician’s repair multi-tool d7II, which contain newer updated versions of the old dMaintenance code with bug fixes and tons of new functionality. Until now, there was no option for home users to benefit from the same automated and...

dUninstaller 3.4 now has internal update functionality!

Jun 18, 2014

As promised, no more downloading zip files from my site! The check for updates button is on the Options tab, and allows you to force an update. There is also a new /update command line parameter that can be combined with others, which will auto-update the app prior to processing the other command line parameters passed to it. http://download.d7xtech.com/dUninstaller.zip

dUninstaller 3.3.2 fix and definitions syntax

Jun 17, 2014

First off, I fixed another issue with processing whitelists. So update for that if nothing else. Second, up until now, you couldn’t blacklist or whitelist any preceding or trailing spaces around the search strings in your definitions files. These wrapping spaces were trimmed off of the string, so a careless space on its own line in the definitions didn’t trigger uninstalling every app with a space in it!! But now you can have wrapping...

Jun 15, 2014
