New in D7 Free 10.1.25 (Sep 28, 2013)

  • d7 relies on two OCX files that must be registered via regsvr32.exe if not already registered on the system (Codejock.Controls.v15.3.1.ocx and LaVolpeAlphaImg2.ocx.) Previously these files were always registered on d7 startup and unregistered on d7 shutdown. New behavior is that d7 implements a check to determine if the OCX file is already registered before continuing, and aborts if it is (and it only unregisters on shutdown now if it registered on startup.) The result is that now running d7 on a system where other programs may rely on these specific OCX files will no longer break functionality in those other programs.

New in D7 Free 10.1.24 (Sep 28, 2013)

  • When running d7 from a network share (not recommended!) d7 offers the option to copy itself to the desktop – now it also offers the option to copy d7 only (without 3rd Party Tools.)
  • When using the Copy d7 to Desktop functionality from the Offline Operations page, you now have the option to copy d7 only (without 3rd Party Tools.)

  • Device Manager issues (and now Non-PnP system drivers) pop-up now launches when clicking the alert even if no errors are detected.

New in D7 Free 10.1.22 (Sep 27, 2013)

New in D7 Free 10.1.21 (Sep 27, 2013)

New in D7 Free 10.0.18 (Sep 27, 2013)

  • Added the local system profile to Delete Temp/Internet files routines for Vista+.
  • Disabled the removal of a reg key before re-importing it as part of a networking fix during Reset Networking Interfaces function, due to potential for failure in reimporting the entries.

New in D7 Free 10.0 (Sep 17, 2013)

  • Added ability to open Notes window at every d7 startup (checkbox to enable is in the Notes window.)
  • Added upload only and download only options (which overwrite the defs) to definitions section of dCloud, in addition to the existing Merge feature.
  • Added detail on installed RAM modules when clicking on RAM in the top window or the RAM alert. You can still launch CrucialScan.exe via this dialog if desired.

  • KillEmAll should now no longer invoke the interactive services detection prompt in Vista+
  • KillEmAll now no longer incorrectly waits for you to close the window during Malware auto mode after a reboot has interrupted auto mode. It still correctly waits for you to terminate the window only the very first time it runs as part of Auto Mode.
  • KillEmAll Whitelists is now separated from d7 config storage and included with the definitions merge functions (along with dUninstaller and MalwareScan defs.)
  • VT uploader install/uninstall process to grab the portable uploader executable is now silent/automatic when the upload to virus total functions are invoked.
  • Malwarebytes Anti-Malware functions no longer makes copies of updated definition files or attempts to install them.
  • Malwarebytes Anti-Malware installation process will now delete any existing MBAM registry settings prior to install.
  • Malwarebytes Anti-Malware function now always registers supplemental files prior to executing (previously this only occurred after an installation.)
  • Malwarebytes Free (when detected) now displays the current definitions date in the update prompt when displayed.
  • Malwarebytes Pro (when detected) should no longer prompt to update prior to scan (will always attempt silent update when internet access is detected.)
  • Malwarebytes Pro (when detected) should now scan/remove items/terminate properly as a fully automated app.

  • Improved function to automatically send keystrokes to open Device Manager, and View Hidden Devices when running Computer Management from within d7. (Function still repairs missing nonPNP category first and performs set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1)
  • Made tweaks to restarting explorer.exe after disabling UAC – hopefully Explorer should now more reliably restart as the shell and not just a file manager window.

New in D7 Free 9.7.60 (Aug 20, 2013)

  • Added ability to use non-standard ports following the FTP server in config, e.g. “my.server.com:2112″
  • Move Reports to FTP, when the ZIP reports option is checked in Config, will now upload multiple reports directories as separate zip files. Useful to negate the need for uploading after a job is complete (so you can wait and do multiple uploads at once) for example when uploading reports to PCRT. NOTE: subsequent reports uploads after the current reports dir will be named as the directory structure is named, whether that is compatible with PCRT or not.

New in D7 Free 9.7.56 (Aug 20, 2013)

New in D7 Free 9.7.26 (Aug 10, 2013)

  • Fixed a few items on the Malware page not keeping settings if Windows was rebooted in the middle of Auto Mode.
  • Auto Uninstall: Added /I detection and replacement in the MSIEXEC uninstall strings with /X (previously if /I was located in the string it REINSTALLED the product instead of UNINSTALLED.)

  • Auto Uninstall now creates an IFEO for popular web browsers to prevent them from opening during uninstall, hindering automation.

  • d7 now opens the app website (if configured in that custom app) if the download fails.
  • Pressing F9 with the main d7 window in focus will now upload d7 reports to FTP.

  • Misc. minor tweaks and fixes.

New in D7 Free 9.7.5 (Aug 5, 2013)

  • Auto Uninstall now temporarily creates an IFEO to prevent popular web browsers from launching as part of the uninstall process, useful to continue automation in that event.
  • Update mechanisms have been updated. Also updates are once again disabled for d7 Free versions.

  • PC Repair Tracker users: Support for uploading d7 reports to PCRT v1.37 Final (or higher) has been added!
  • Added option to zip reports prior to moving them to your FTP storage.
  • Fixed: Moving reports to FTP when not shutting down d7 did not recreate the directory structure causing subsequent reports to fail to be generated or restored.

  • Fixed: DataRestore not restoring certain files.

  • Misc little stuff.

New in D7 Free 9.5.4 (Aug 5, 2013)

  • New little goodie for Premium users: d7 now saves screen shots to JPEG instead of BMP, reducing average file sizes by almost 1/6th, therefore making storage / FTP / email transfer times significantly faster. d7 Free still utilizes BMP format.

New in D7 Free 9.4.3 (Jul 13, 2013)

  • Fixed DataGrab creating directories in the backup that don’t actually exist in the source (e.g. Vista+ user folders from an XP partition) – which was creating havok with DataRestore.

New in D7 Free 9.4.2 (Jul 13, 2013)

  • Fixed paging file size display not rounding up with numbers extending beyond 2 decimal places; also fixed % of paging file utilized to display “0%” (rounded) instead of merely “%” when ~0 percent is actually used.

New in D7 Free 9.3.6 (Jul 13, 2013)

  • d7 now detects and alerts for dirty volumes (any partition flagged for a chkdsk scan on the next reboot) on the System Info page. Clicking the alert will allow you to exclude the dirty volumes from chkdsk scans on the very next reboot.

New in D7 Free 4.5.3 Beta (Sep 19, 2011)

  • Added new ability to find identical files by MD5 hash. Useful to find hidden or scattered duplicates of known rogue exes/dlls.
