D7 v7.6.1 actually, just released today with an exciting new capability. Previously D7 could not run while Combofix was running. While this hasn’t changed technically, the circumstances are vastly different. With the latest version of D7, prior to launching Combofix in either manual or D7 Auto Mode, D7 installs a Windows service that monitors Combofix until completion, and restarts D7 at that time. What this means to you is, you can now click Auto Mode...
There is a new “Import Config File(s) Before Running” option under your custom apps configuration. This box has multiple uses, let me start with the main one: Copy custom configuration files to the custom app’s directory before running the app. Very useful for apps like CCleaner and Defraggler where they generate an INI file with your custom settings when you configure them to your preferences. The new checkbox “Update After” will wait for the custom...
NOTE: Your default configuration on the Malware page will now have to be re-configured and saved. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I decided to select 3 winners instead of just one, and each winner has just been contacted. Check your email!

Just updated to D7 v7.1 In light of recent malware completely trashing certain services, I’ve had to step up my game. New additions: Windows Defender service repair. Seriously improved: Windows Firewall Repair Windows Security Center Repair BITS/Windows Update Repair So if you’ve had any of these new and improved repair functions fail on you in the past, try them now!!!
Earlier this week I released D7 v6.7, the final free version. In this version, I disabled updating functionality for unregistered users, so that it would not be possible to update to v7. I did this because I didn’t want people (unregistered users) updating to v7 before they found that v7 won’t run for them without registration. Unfortunately, there are those of you who did NOT get the v6.7 update first, therefore you may have...

This is a remake of the original General Introduction to D7, which is now 14 months old and many versions behind. It was also 12 minutes. The new vid is 49 minutes of DETAIL and utilizes the latest version 6.6.3 Even if you thought you knew all there was to know, this is still a good vid to pick up a few new things. Enjoy! http://youtu.be/xsASCOlRLfg
