For obvious reasons there are less buying software these days. A decision has therefore been taken to once again offer all versions of Smuds for free.

Download and start the application. A free registration key will automatically be downloaded and used with your application. No registration process necessary. The registration key is valid until the end of 2020.

If you have used Smuds before but still want to take advantage of this offer, you first need to clear your expired evaluation key and restart the application.

With the release of Smuds v4.05 a decision was taken to drop the usage of the obfuscator ConfuserEx. With this decision I hope Smuds will avoid being flagged as a malware, trojan or virus.

Apparently ConfuserEx has become quite popular to use by malware developers. At the same time anti-virus scanners have got issues finding out if an application obfuscated with ConfuserEx does something bad or not. So they started to flag all applications using ConfuserEx as malwares.

This is also the main reason for why the size of the binary has increased from about 500KB to 1.1MB. It appears as a binary with compressed libraries embedded as resources within the EXE-file is also flagged as malware by some anti-virus scanners.

The excellent tool virustotal.com has been a huge help in this work. It allows you to upload a file and have it automatically scanned by most of the anti-virus scanners available today.

Needless to say, my trust in anti-virus applications have dropped significantly the last few months.

Microsoft has now removed the detection for Smuds and Smuds Lite from the latest Windows Defender malware definitions.


Analyst comments:

Thank you for contacting Microsoft.

I've recently received reports that Windows Defender has started to recognize Smuds and Smuds Lite as various types of trojans. The files have been submitted to Microsoft for validation. Until then you can, if you choose to trust SoftOve and Smuds, add Smuds.exe and SmudsLite.exe to the exclusion list in Windows Defender.

All versions of Smuds are currently available for free.

Download and start the application. A free registration key will automatically be downloaded and used with your application. No registration process necessary. The registration key is valid until the end of 2018.

If you have used Smuds before but still want to take advantage of this offer, you first need to clear your expired evaluation key and restart the application.

This is an opportunity you can't afford to miss, enjoy!

After a long time of thinking and reconsiderations the decision to go commercial with the SoftOve products have been taken. Free but limited versions of the products will still be available, but more advanced features you will only find in the commercial versions of the products.

With the decision to go commercial the hope is to find more inspiration as well as time to take the products the next level. Within the next weeks you will again find Smuds available for download.

Smuds - SoftOve Multi Database Scripter 3.02 has been added to the LotSoft's listings. The program has been downloaded and tested by their team, and it has been found free of any viruses, spyware, or adware. LotSoft.org give 100% guarantees that Smuds - SoftOve Multi Database Scripter 3.02 is clean and safe for download/install.

A small step towards the perfect software was taken this morning with the release of SMuds v3.02. A new option for executing script steps with or without the use of a transaction was added. The default and recommended option is still to run the steps inside a transaction, since this makes the effects of errors and aborts more predictable. There are however some queries and commands that are not allowed to be executed in a transaction. One example is the DBCC command to backup databases to disk in SQL Server.

To make sure you get the most out of this software, download SMuds v3.02 today!

Smuds - SoftOve Multi Database Scripter has been reviewed by Softpedia.com and was assigned the quality mark "100% FREE award granted by Softpedia". Read their excellent, well written and detailed review on their website.

The popular database tool for SQL Server, Smuds - SoftOve Multi Database Scripter, is now released and available free for download.
