Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard. -

Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it. -

Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42. -

Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.

Question
Karl
Hey,
First off im running windows vista!
Since this morning pop ups were appearing constantly when my younger sister was browsing basic kids sites (using internet explorer 7), and then when i went on my account i found windows explorer kept randomly closing when generally just on msn and browsing the net (firefox 3).
I run a virus scan using the latest norton anti virus with updates (in safe mode) and it came back with 2 items for attention both of which were the trojan.vundo which it says was high risk it tried to repair but says it was only partially repaired.
Restarted pc, went to the symantec website to find out more about the virus but it had it down as low risk and said it only affected up to XP :/
I tried their removal tool anyway (worth a shot right) and it didnt find anything but the effects were still happening.
I tried atribunes VundoFix and it came back with 4 files
C:/Windows/System32/NCTAVfile.dll
C:/Windows/System32/NCTQuicktimefile.dll
C:/Windows/System32/NCTRMfile.dll
C:/Windows/System32/NCTVideocodeM.dll
I clicked remove but it said it couldnt and restarted.
Once restarted i went to the System32
I run spybot search and destroy and that came back with nothing.
I tried to do a system restore back to last wednesday but it errored.
I run a virus scan again and it comes back clean, i run the atribute vundofix again and it comes back with the same 4 files, i click remove again but it just errored and said the pc would automatically restart which it did.
Not sure what else to try!
I've seen in previous support topics people ask for hijack this logs to help work out problems so just incase i've included it below
Thanks for any help!
Karl
