UVK staat voor Ultra Virus Killer, maar dat dekt de lading niet helemaal, want dit programma kan veel meer dan alleen virussen en malware verwijderen. Met UVK kunnen namelijk ook diverse Windows-problemen worden verholpen, met bijvoorbeeld processen, drivers of de met Windows meestartende programma's. Voor het scannen van de computers wordt gebruikgemaakt van externe programma's als Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, SuperAntiSpyware en HitmanPro, wat meteen de download van slechts 5MB verklaart. Het programma is echter niet aan te bevelen voor de beginnende gebruiker en is in die zin vergelijkbaar met D7. In versie 4.1.0.0 zijn de volgende veranderingen doorgevoerd:
Changes in version 4.1.0.0:UVK will soon have its own malware scanner with a huge virus database (over one milion virus signatures) and automatic system repair after removal.
- General internal debugging and improvement.
- Improved the list creation feature in the Startup entries and scheduled tasks, and Windows services and drivers sections. Now the lists are immediately displayed, and the items are added on the fly. No more "Working, Please wait...
- Added green headers with bold white labels to the lists mentioned above, and also to the fixes list in the UVK system repair section.
- Improved the path parsing function.
- Added sorting feature to the alternate data streams list.
- Added two more columns to the alternate data streams list: Name and Extension. This will allow to quickly sort the items based on their path, size, name or extension.
- Improved the Register system DLLs feature.
- Removed the Automatic anti-malware scans section. Users can still automate the scans through UVK scripts. For some examples, see the UVK script collection. I had to remove this section as the authors of the third party tools were not quite happy with the automation. Also some users were baming UVK for the damages caused by the third party tools.
