Moderators hazelnut Posted November 24, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2017 JRT was eaten up and spat out. Happens all the time. Sad really.

Moderators mta Posted November 24, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2017 I'm not sure how much of it's functionality as been covered with AdwCleaner?

Moderators nukecad Posted November 24, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2017 I liked JRT in general, a reasonably quick junkware scan with no installation needed, even if it did seem a bit old fashioned running in the Command Window with no GUI. But once Malwarebytes acquired JRT in 2015 then it was always their stated intention to incorporate it into the main Malwarebytes programme itself. The same was stated when they acquired ADwCleaner in 2016. Moving JRT's removal functions into ADwCleaner seems just the first step of this, JRT and ADW did cover quite a bit of the same ground. Expect ADW to be incoporated into Malwarebytes at some future time. As far as I can see the main feature that will be lost is JRT's creation of a restore point as a first step before anything gets scanned and removed. I've always liked that 'backup' feature, TBH I often use it as a quickish way just to create a new restore point rather than going through Windows. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

login123 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Ahhh, well. All the old good stuff is disappearing. Older versions of ADWCleaner & JRT are still available for now. I'm keeping them on a USB storage device against the time when they disappear completely. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Willy2 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 - I assume that MalwareBytes "absorbed" the technology into it products. Time to download JRT one more time. I hope the old algorithm will continue to work in the (near) future. - JRT is for 2 (or 3 ??) of my programs too aggressive. It forces me to re-install those programs again. Have to be very choosy when I want to use it. System setup: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/gcNzIPEjEb0B2khOOBVCHPc A discussion always stimulates the braincells !!!

Moderators mta Posted November 25, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2017 yep, I'll be keeping it, and using it, for quite some time to come. I reckon it'll be like cwshredder ands tdsskiller in my arsenal, both old as the hills, no updates for ages, but they still (admittedly rarely) find stuff. they are old programs that find old malware, so I'm happy to still run them, takes no time to run. but because I had them yonks before MBAM, I always run them before MBAM, so I need to run MBAM first then those and then see if they ever find stuff that way. old habits die slowly.
