Unlocker

New version of Unlocker released with comments on the page by the author which should prove of interest. (One of which being that a 64bit version is in the pipeline).

A quick and interesting read, thanks. As was his own blog article (http://ccollomb.free.fr/blog/?p=69) and the one linked to on the nirsoft site (http://blog.nirsoft.net/2009/05/17/antivir...all-developers/) about anti-virus false positives and their impact on small software companies.

I use to like VirusTotal and similar sites but lately they seem to be better for telling b/s than actually something credible.

For example I packet a Windows XP executable with UPX and uploaded it to VirusTotal, wow instead Trojan huh??

I can certainly sympathise with Nirsoft and Cedrick's problems I'm getting a little fed up of these big name companies and script kiddie so call security experts dishing out unreliable information.

I agree. It's annoying that when you try to use a perfectly legitimate and clean program your AV goes nuts and warns you about all sorts of malware being inside of the program.

One of the reasons I don't use AV's anymore. They get more and more useless.

this is what I got from VirusTotal Uploader

 

 

 

 

I downloaded the installer from filehippo

 

anyway, great apps

[fireryone]

nice to see his sites back up

I wish he wouldn't use brothersoft as his download site, so much crap on there even WOT gives it an orange rating. can't even get the download to appear

 

o'well getting the portable version for now, till I can be bothered getting it form elsewhere.
