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...

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....
Last night we transferred to a new server and website! Look! Ain’t it purdier! Ain’t it must faster?! Yay! Unfortunately the move was rushed due to some issues with the old server, so not all site resources are available. Notably this includes our free software product pages and our paid dMZ content. The dMZ content is of course being worked on at the moment and should be available shortly. The free software pages, not...
I recently wrote about new positions and Foolish IT expansion, and just before that upcoming CryptoPrevent releases and new designs for our flagship software d7II. I have several important CryptoPrevent related announcements after this, but first I would like quote myself from one of these recent posts: CryptoPrevent was created in late 2013, on suggestion from an existing d7 customer, in order to help his customers shortly after the outbreak of the original CryptoLocker. It...
To all customers of our PC technician and related software: This is kind of a double topic in one post, so let me first thank you for your attention. Something disturbing came to my attention after our latest newsletter, which contained the current product sale on d7II, CryptoPrevent Premium and also the Bulk/Resale Edition, along with a major CryptoPrevent update announcement. I became aware that customers of our tech related products, particularly active d7II subscribers, may occasionally feel...
Frequently in troubleshooting it is helpful to know if a log file was created by an application or Windows itself. Presented by Nick, the developer of d7II, this video details how to use some tricks with d7II/dFunk’s file search filters to find log files in specific locations or anywhere on the partition. Added 02/26/2015 (dMZ “d7II Advanced Tech Tips” videos require the dMZ Standard access membership level or higher.)
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...
dSupportOnline/dMZ additional d7II downloads are now freely available to all d7II subscribers! As of now, the newer d7II default custom apps configurations and Ketarin profile are being pushed out to all d7II subscribers via d7II’s internal update mechanism. That isn’t all, however. There are also auto mode profiles, templates, whitelists, and more! While this content isn’t yet on the Foolish IT website, it has been made public in its current home on dSupportOnline’s website here.
#1 Question: Will this protect against new ‘Crypto’ malware such as CryptoDefense, CryptoWall, etc., and their newer v2, v3, and future variants? A number of new CryptoLocker clones have emerged that can also be prevented by CryptoPrevent. The majority of these are protected against by default protections with their older versions, but newer variants are coming out that can only be stopped by the Maximum Protection + Program Filtering (BETA) option, which uses a definitions based system to keep current with...
