I am aware of the need for backups, but now know just how necessary it is. Learning the hard way, story of my life... Once this whole thing is over the 500bg internal drive will be replaced by a much smaller SSD, and then placed in an enclosure for good. Thanks for all the help. Can anyone suggest a more direct forum for my new and much more serious problem that has little to do with stardock?

I sympathize with your troubles, JcRabbit, code developing is a convoluted industry in a capitalist society. I'm definitely going to investigate another AV. However, the drive that I was working on with this issue is now borked to some degree after running Malwarebytes. It doesn't make any sense to me, maybe you guys can make sense of it. It didn't find anything wrong, save a few settings I had set myself (force opening certain file types lik

Okay, so 3rd party uninstaller clients I have rely upon the proprietary uninstaller for at least part of the process. Zapper freezes when run normally, and force closes when run as admin.

From M$oft: " 18 May 2011 12:27 PM Today we are pleased to announce a new version of the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) with brand new features and mitigations." They're clearly still developing it, so it would be apparent that it still has a purpose. It's a viable preemptive security solution if they can get software developers to comply with the standard. I wouldn't doubt if they are trying their best to figure out how to

Going to uninstall WB, I get the error : Wise Uninstall | 'Could not open install.log file.' but it exists in C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds and I'm running the UNWISE.exe as admin.

right, im painfully aware of EMET's incompatibility with a very wide range of common applications, and that's why it's currently set to allow the application itself be the judge of whether or not to utilize the different paremeters, known in EMET as 'application opt-in.' I'd rather have it running with some functionality than none at all. After taking a closer look, Wbvista/vistaSrv aren't using the EMET functions, which figures. Maybe there are cert

First I'll just note that I'm getting really frustrated with Comodo's conflict with Windowblinds. I go to uninstall install something, it tells me there's a trojan. I open certain programs, same thing. I tell Comodo to ignore it because I trust that Stardock has too much to lose if there were to actually be a trojan in the program, but the notice still comes up because however your code is developed the pseudo-virus filename is different every time (making it look that much mo
