ShadowExplorer (www.shadowexplorer.com) is an awesome application which I’ve used as a PC Technician many times in the past. It is used to provide a graphical ‘front-end’ interface for a rather complicated command line utility called VSSADMIN.EXE (an internal Windows component) which handles “Volume Shadow Copies” of files made by Windows. These are sort of ‘backups’ in a sense and the Volume Shadow Copy service in Windows is indeed used by various backup software to accomplish backup tasks....
File this under “not surprised.” The Windows 10 Technical Preview just got a new update, so this morning of course it was nagging me to restart. After taking care of my VMs and open files I did the restart. I couldn’t wait to see how usable, or just plain laughable, this new Cortana thing is going to be. Well I really haven’t messed with it yet, but let me tell you what Windows 10 screwed up that was...

Background: Say what you will about Windows 8.x, it has treated me pretty well — so it was a really ‘crazy’ thing when I decided to leave the speed and reliability of a proven Windows 8.1 and throw caution to the wind with an early Windows Technical Preview of the newly dubbed “version 10” (ahem, I m actually referring to version 6.4, or loosely interpreted as Vista v4.) So I was talking with my friends last...

Major re-write in both concept and code. Now dBug operates FASTER and prevents MUCH MORE. The core idea behind the app has changed a bit, and now it pretty much restricts all applications legitimate or otherwise, except core Window components and anything running from the same directory as dBug, or one of its subdirectories (which pretty much means d7II and everything it utilizes.) There are now no registry key exports/backups, so nothing to re-impor, but the real...

It seems people have a hard time getting d7 or d7II to run in WinPE (you’re just using the wrong build!!) Updated information from this blog post is now located on this page: Creating a WinPE 5.1 Bootable See our Tech Info page for more!
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...
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/
