Humpty Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Been trying out RunScanner with the author looking for beta testers. Very stable and working fine here ATM.Sorta like a Hijackthis/Autoruns/Security Task Mananager on steroids and free. RunScanner is a completely free windows system utility which scans your system for all configured running programs.You can use runscanner to detect autostart programs, spyware, adware, homepage hijackers, unverified drivers and other problems. You can import and export your results and let other people help you to solve your problems. Features * Scanning of 73 startup/hijack items. * Fixing of invalid entries. * Process killer (kill multiple processes at once). * Host file editor. * Verification of file signatures. * MD5 hash calculation of files. * Online lookup of scanned entries. * Whitelist filter. * Online rating of found entries bases on MD5 hash. * Import / export of .run files. * Log file saving. * Upload of reports and check with the online database. Authors invite to test link RunScanner Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sputnik Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Downloaded and ran it, and I must say it looks very promising Ceci n'est pas une signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted March 5, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 5, 2007 Its kind of interesting. I'm not sure if these are 2 good types of programs to merge though. The main thing I was interested in was how it saved logs, and to be honest I would rather look through a hijackthis log than this programs log. Of course it might just be because I'm used to hijackthis, but the formating wasn't very good to me. I don't see myself ever using this instead of autoruns/process explorer/ or hijackthis though.

If you have suggestions for improvement of the file, please let me know. The .run file is far more superior, because it contains all information (more than you could ever put in a text file) PS. Meanwhile build 0.8.0.0 is uploaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunScanner Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Is it Vistas compatible? Some people have tested it without problems, but I still have to install vista to test it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 i will wait and see Vistas tested before giving it a whirl myself. But it looks promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sputnik Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Runscanner Beta 0.9.0.0 has been released Ceci n'est pas une signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 ver. 1.0.3.0 is out. download and changelog is: http://www.runscanner.net/download.aspx It kind of grows on you. . . .but as far as I can tell, it does try to phone home/microsoft/somebody if you are on the 'net when you run a scan. 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.

I assume the phone home bit is similar to Process Explorers "on line analysis" after a scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
