For clarification on our previous post regarding the red X button: The article was about the red X because that’s what most people know, but it also applies to closing an application in any standard method not involving any actual force-terminate means. This includes the red X in the top right of the ‘window’ or form, the ALT+F4 keyboard combination, and also even by using the standard “End Task” option within Windows Task Manager!! See the...
This pic describes exactly why I recommend people NEVER use the form’s X button in the event of suspected adware, spyware, MALWARE, or any other random POP-UP… DO NOT DO IT. EDIT TO CLARIFY: This article is about the red X in the top right of the ‘window’ or form, but also includes other methods such as the ALT+F4 keyboard combination, and also even by using the standard “End Task” option within Windows Task Manager!!

Tim makes a Labtech RMM plugin for dUninstaller, more on this below!) Added encryption of registration settings and all non-numeric email settings. Previously the SMTP account password was encrypted, but with the new capability of remote update from a...
Reprint from the community: Note the Default Apps update (v40) just released fixes a download link for Rogue Killer. The symptom of the issue causing the update was the PC rebooting as soon as Rogue Killer was ran. This was due to a bad download link – for some reason instead of a 404 that website does some redirects or something weird but d7II downloads a webpage from the non-existent links, causing it to think...
