But in researching a post in another thread, I realised there has been an update from 1.9.1 version to 1.9.2 (done in May 2013 - told you I was late)
Just wanted to bring to the unwary user's attention that MalwareBytes blocked suspicious site: nsis.bisrv.com and vendor: PUP.Optional.Somoto with file: bitool.dll
Seems to be related to the bundled Delta adware toolbar.
I haven't used Unlocker for years since the bundling in of adware began. Locked files or processes can often be unlocked by using Task Manager to end-task Explorer.exe and then start it again via Task Manager, and when that doesn't work just log off and log on - that's what I've been doing since Unlocker went the adware route.
What I found infinitely more interesting than this discussion of Unlocker was the link you provided to herdProtect - I'll be giving the portable version a try.
my usage of Unlocker is when deleting stubborn folders and files.
sometimes a file just won't delete, and rather than manually delving into the Security properties, which involves changing Permissions, Effective Access and Auditing which I used to do, Unlocker does it all with one swift mouse click.
Yes, thanks, I did that a couple of times and the links rolled me around to brothersoft, then to 76files dot com, then back to brothersoft, over & over.
No popup blockers, no download blockers were apparent, and no download happened. So i just got the files from other sources.
Anyway the whole exercise was just to be sure one could avoid the fully advertised delta toolbar and the ebay link during installation. One can indeed do so. But for most folks it wouldn't be worth the trouble, I guess.
