After you hopefully fix things, use Returnil.
Hey, Dennis . . . with Returnil's Protection "on," is there any way to bypass the protection and selectively "save" something (if I wanted to?)
-
Returnil is great for this kind of thing. As long as you don't need to reboot after the install it will work. I test many apps under Returnil and after a reboot it's back to where it was before the install.
Can you activate/deactivate Returnil at will. For instance, what if you have an app you want to install "for real" -- not just to test?
-
What is the fastest (and most thorough) online AntiVirus scanner?
-
Dennis, do both of these programs do about the same thing? If so, which do you prefer?
-
I just tried out MemInfo and it's been pretty useful so far. It even sometimes frees more memory than RamDefrag Extreme.
Does/can a memory defragger actually free memory -- or does it literally just defragment it?
-
Oops. May have spoken too soon. Have been online using FF2 for a while -- now at 100MB
-
I'm using FF2 right now -- about 54MB.
-
You can Tuneup firefox make it faster on the PC with 256 MB not lot faster,But PC with 2000 MB Ram cut time to load in 1/2
How do you do this?
-
In another thread, Andavari mentioned that he had securely deleted some files using Recuva -- so there must be a way. Maybe he'll respond.
-
Just downloaded and tried to install Avira Anti-Rootkit Tool. However, couldn't get the Setup.exe file to open. Anyone else have that problem? Or, is there possibly another way to install it?
-
Remember that whilst in Returnil mode no changes whatsoever are retained to C including any AV signature updates but I think with using the disk cache method you are able to commit changes on the fly.
Meaning you are able to save data to the real C drive if using the disk cache method.
I've never used this so I feel a little ignorant. By "using the disk cache method" do you mean by setting up a "virtual disk partition" at setup?
By the way, if I were to give this a try, I assume there's no problem uninstalling it -- RIGHT???
-
The new version has an option to use the disk as the virtualization method if you want but I prefer the memory option.
How do you install and set it up for the memory option?
-
Returnil uses virtualization technology.
Once you enable Returnil mode any and all changes simply disappear on reboot.
So, how do you bypass Returnil with "legitmate" system changes?

This is a great app. It doesn't make your page file greater, it literally returns leaked RAM. I have been using it for several weeks now!
Sounds interesting -- I'll give it a try. By the way, is this a memory resident program or can you just use it when you need it?
-
Is there any little utility that can be used to free up RAM on demand? I know that Windows is supposed to manage it, but on occasion, it would be nice to be able to manually free up/clean up a little of what's not currently in use.
-
On new installs I use VLC to view all media types that WMP wont play:
How do you think VLC compares with Media Player Classic?
-
Hence the reason for using an installation watching program that can also uninstall the application independent of the typical uninstaller.
Is Revo Uninstaller one of those installer/uninstaller monitoring programs? Actually, I've used Revo for quite some time -- just not sure whether or not it has a monitoring function. As I recall, ZSoft Uninstaller does.
-
That is about how long it has been available.
Yep!! I jumped on it when it was first released.
-
What does PerfectDisk (commercial) do that JKDefrag (free) doesn't do (if anything)?
-
This little utility has worked well for me. I've probably been using it for close to a year now.
-
I've been using JKDefrag for quite some time. Since the start of this thread, I've been doing a little research on PerfectDisk 2008 -- and it sounds very interesting. For those of you who use it, do you think it's really all that superior (even though it is a commercial product)?
-
Thanks for the suggestions.
-
Anyone know of a good pdf to MS Word document converter?
-
Have used JKDefrag for quite some time -- still one of the best IMO. Easy to use, relatively fast -- and I like what it does with "space-hog" files.

Thanks, Dennis. I've been tempted to try this for quite some time. I guess it's time to give it a whirl.
