Thema: UVK Ultra Virus Killer

[SiLæncer]

Changelog

  General debugging and enhancement.

 Added VirusTotal information directly to the lists, in the Process Manager, Memory Modules Manager, Autorun Manager, Service Manager and Smart Uninstaller. Also added the option to remove all items with clean VirusTotal results from the lists.

The result of the VirusTotal analysis for each item is displayed in a new column named VirusTotal. In order to see that column in the Smart Uninstaller's list, you will need to enable Details vew.

By default, the analysis of the items begin as soon as you jump to one of those sections, and files having not been analyzed by the VirusTotal engine yet, are automatically uploaded to VirusTotal. This behavior can be changed in the Options section, by uncheckingthe new Auto start VirusTotal analysis, and Auto upload unknown items to VirusTotal check boxes.

You can manually start populating the VirusTotal info in the lists from their Update VirusTotal results context menu button. The results of the submitted items are saved locally, meaning the whole process is much faster after you complete it once. This also reduces the number of requests made to VirusTotal.

In order to remove all items with clean VirusTotal results from the lists, use their Hide clean VirusTotal results context menu button. Any items that have already been submitted to VT, and their result was 100% clean are removed from the list. Note that this doesn't mean that all items with detections are viruses. In fact, if a report has less than 4 detections, it's probably a false positive.

 Added a new maintenance action, in the System repair list: Clear the shell MuiCache. If the Shell's list of most recently used programs becomes too long, it may slow down the Windows file explorer. This new fix will clear that list for the current user.

 Added a new maintenance action, in the System repair list: Clear empty appdata sub directories. Some programs leave orphan empty appdata sub-directories behind, which can accumulate over time. This fix will remove those folders.

 Added a new post repair action, in the System repair list: Uninstall the application. This new option uninstalls UVK after running the selected fixes above, if any. You can combine any other fixes with this one, if you want to automatically uninstall UVK after running them.

 SysInternals sigcheck.exe is now shipped with the application, as requested in the forum. it can be found in the cleanup_tool sub directory of the UVK's install folder. However, I'm yet to decide whether I will keep including this file. It doesn't make much sense to ship files not used by the application itself.

 All our executables are now signed using a certificate with a SHA-256 hash signature, as requested by the newest Microsoft code signing requirements.

 Added a new command to the Enable and run dropdown box of the IT/Geeks section: Sigcheck.exe /tv. This command uses sigcheck, from sysinternals to check for the existance of untrusted root certificates. If the tool finds any, you can take action to remove them.

Fixed bug: UVKSetup was not installing when using the -Auto command line switch.

 Fixed bug: The application was crashing when using the Delete parent directory feature of the Process manager.

 Added two more options to the Toggle enable/disable dropdown box of the IT/Geek tools and tweaks section:

    Fast Startup (Windows 8+) : Enables or disables the Fast boot feature introduced in Windows 8.
    Windows Defender PUP detection : Enables or disables the Windows Defender PUP detection hidden feature.

 The window is now resizeable in the Ultra Adware Killer section.

Whats new:>>

  When exporting the system information to an HTML file, UVK now also creates a INI file named SystemInfo.ini, in UVK's install folder. This file is intended to be parsed by repair trcking applications such as PCRT or CRS. We have chosen the INI file format for the effect, as it has parsing support in most programming languages.

 Unless more bugs are reported, this will be the next stable release.

 Fixed reported bug: The application was not creating a Windows firewall exception for FTP at install time.
 Fixed reported bug: The HDD information displayed in the System info and the Desktop watermark was not accurate in some computers.
 Improved the Configure Immunization feature by adding a check box allowing the user to be notified to re-enable the System Immunization or Execute prevent on the next reboot.
 The Fix the Windows store and Metro apps fix is no longer executed on Windows 10. This is because the fix was causing some severe issues to the metro apps in Windows 10 when the OS has been upgraded to build 10586. Until we figure out why this is happening, the fix wil no longer run on Windows 10.

Changelog

General debugging and enhancement.

  Added a new item to the Smart Uninstaller's context menu: Ignore whitelist once. This new button, only available when you're using the Smart uninstaller's white/black list feature, allows you to refresh the list while ignoring the whitelist (displaying all the items). This is useful if you to quickly uninstall one of the whitelisted programs or check if it is installed.

 Improved the hard drive information displayed in the desktop watermark and in the System info section.

 Improved the Configure Immunization feature by adding a check box allowing the user to be notified to re-enable the System Immunization or Execute prevent on the next reboot.

 Improved the VirusTotal list filtering: Files are only uploaded after processing all items. This way you don't need to wait for the uploads to complete before having all other VirusTotal results updated or filtered.

 Added suppor for Environment variables in the Desktop Watermark's PC identification personalized text. Also, the default text for this field is PC: %ComputerName%. | User: %UserName%

This file is intended to be parsed by repair trcking applications such as PCRT or CRS. We have chosen the INI file format for the effect, as it has parsing support in most programming languages.

 The Autorun manager, Service manager, Alternate streams manager ans Smart uninstaller lists now have auto-chckboxes to help in the selection.

 Updated 2Browse with its latest version 1.5, which includes many improvements and bug fixes, including the removal of annoying script error messages.

 Improved the VirusTotal analysis feature. We've worked directly with the VirusTotal team to provide faster retrieval of the VT reports, and also a better user experience, while reducing the VirusTotal bandwidth load. UVK no longer requests old reports to be rescanned, as it used to. Users can still manually rescan a file or URL directly from the Rescan file or Rescan URL link of the VirusTotal HTML reports generated by UVK.

 Added three more information fields to the System Info list: Windows activation state, User account control state and System restore state.

 The Smart uninstaller now remembers the last state of the Hide Microsoft signed files check box.

 Fixed reported bug: The application was not creating a Windows firewall exception for FTP at install time.

 Fixed reported bug: The HDD information displayed in the System info and the Desktop watermark was not accurate in some computers.

 Fixed reported bug: The Smart uninstaller was no longer showing up the Stop monitoring button while uninstalling programs.

 Removed some of the functionality of the Fix the Windows store and Metro apps on Windows 10. This is because the fix was causing some severe issues to the metro apps in Windows 10 when the OS has been upgraded to build 10586. Until we figure out why this is happening, the fix wil limited functionality on Windows 10.
