Hmmm... that is included in the Jan Release! Sometimes seems like it doesn't install though. :/ It depends, actually, on your system speed. If it hasn't fully processed that the MDAC 2.8 was installed, it doesn't install the upgrade, I had it workin' on 5 systems, so I released it, but some will probably slip through the cracks. Sorry 'bout that. :)

hey man no problem. I just downloaded the update from winupdate real quick.. i probably had a way out of date version :D Program still owns!

Hey, I was wondering if theres anyway to "install" this to a Windows CD? I have an old Windows CD which I would like to update with this (And it will save me installing this after a reinstall of Windows:)) Oh, and probably a stupid question, but I assume you need to download SP1 separatly? - Sorry if any of this has been in one of the other 35 pages but I don't really have time time to read all the posts in detail, thanks!

a buddy of mine mentioned to me that he installed the jan package, and aftwerards, scanned for trojans/backdoors and says he found one.  can you adress this flish?

Sure thing, man. I'll do a fresh install and scan. Do you know specifically what one he said he found?

@Kefka - Yes, you can just burn the AutoPatcher to a CD, and it will work. :) And yes, you'll have to download SP1 seperately. (Y)

Just a heads up. After seeing the report from Toxikk about the virus. I went back and scanned my january update package all the files and then the original autopatcher directory with the new update files then a full system scan. No viruses found. No worries peeps.

Did a search, cant find them no :/

Interesting... do me a favor... take a screenie of your ProgFiles Dir, set it to View as List so we can fit as many files as possible in there. (Y) We'll get to the bottom of this right now. :D

@Toxikk - Thank ya, sir! (Y)

@[Thrice] - Thanks for your input too... curious to what his friend found, though.

Once again on a 10 scale I give FlishFun and Raptor a 10, very good job on the AutoPatcher for January (Update and Full version) (Y), I always download both for testing on different machines, I didnt run into any problems. :beer:

I also read from a couple of ppl that they scan their computers and found trojans/backdoors, I didnt find anything in my computer and I use Symantec Corporate Edition and I'm always scanning my computer with this program Stinger

Very good scanner for viruses, trojans & variants. :yes:

I already have the Dec Update installed though. I thought if i have that i just needed to get the update?

That's 100% true, but you need to run the Update.exe and let it patch the Dec Update. In the next release, I'll rename the files so it won't be confusing. :) No worries... just give that a shot. :)

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By matthiew · Posted

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
