The latest variant as discussed by Sophos is a user mode only variant (for 64bit OS compatibility) which is quite different in the removal process from previous versions. Fortunately, it’s easier! So I wrote a quick removal tool. Download the Removal Tool and Check out our Youtube Video and one from Britec09 here. The tool first scans the appropriate registry values for the infection, and if found it will extract the paths of the malware from...

I realize a ton of D7 users also use Fabs excellent product, and have integrated it as a custom app into D7. To be honest, I figured these people had already paid for Fabs before discovering D7’s DataGrab! If it were me as stubborn as I am, I would use Fab’s too in that case. I have also had a few people actually ME how Fab’s stacks up against DataGrab. I have no clue, I’ve never...
Since adding the ability in 5.8.something to add your own custom internet links to the Internet menu, I’ve been brewing 5.9.x functionality which I’m proclaiming to be (mostly) the Reporting Improvements versions. Reports are a long neglected part of D7, scattered about here and there, and I’m attempting to bring them all together, make them more accessible, and more useful. If you can think of other reporting features or improvements I’ve not yet made, please...
Just released, here are the changes in v2.0: Complete re-write of the application from the ground up. Added ability to abort a shutdown/restart operation if certain processes are running Added process termination option before a shutdown/restart operation. Added option to stop services before a shutdown/restart operation. Added SMTP/Email support, to alert you when a shutdown/restart op was or was not performed, and why. WTF is ShutdownUnless and why is it useful? Any sys admin knows...
Starting with D7 5.6, dMaintenance 1.5, dSupport 2.3, and some other apps and their versions, they (and their installers, where applicable) will be digitally signed! Details: the signature will state “John Shaw” (my legal first/last name) instead of “Foolish IT” as this is not an official corporate entity. Sweet! If I’ve forgotten to digitally sign a Foolish IT app that you use and you want it signed, just let me know!
Just uploaded the Pre-Release of D7 v5.4 The only change in this version is the ability to run D7 Auto on write-locked flash drives. Previously this could not be done as D7 wrote information regarding the progress of D7 Auto to the D7.INI – now D7 temporarily stores this information in the registry. The information is removed from the registry when D7 shuts down (as long as D7 Auto is not in progress.) In case...
Yep. v5.1 now downloads any missing application on the fly! What this means for new users – NO SETUP REQUIRED! What this means for existing users – now you can keep slim copies of D7 with no 3rd party applications for quick and easy transfer when working on remote systems, etc. Usage scenario: you’re working remotely and need to transfer D7 to a remote PC. Rather than transfer D7 and ALL of the 3rd party...
I had several requests from techs who like to leave D7 and all of the 3rd Party Tools on a client’s computer – especially when working on a remote system the download of everything can be quite time consuming… So with v4.9.6 the Close & Delete D7 Directory button has been renamed to Close with Options. Now it enables you to delete itself as before, but you may instead choose to password protect the D7...
