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 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. Sinds versie 4.3.0.0 zijn de volgende veranderingen doorgevoerd:
Changes in version 4.4.1.0:Changes in version 4.4.0.0:
- General internal debugging and improvement.
- Fixed a few not working features in the Log analyzer due to changes made in the last update.
- Improved speed when retrieving directory size and file enumeration.
- Improved drawing speed when section switching.
- Added the ability to retrieve the immunized areas even after uninstall.
- Improved the Boot optimization feature.
- Disabled resizing when the window has the original size..
- Added a Don't ask again checkbox to the dialog box that prompts the user to uninstall the portable versions.
- Fixed a bug in the About dialog box. The registered user info was not being displayed correctly.
- Made some other small improvements.
- General internal debugging and improvement.
- New graphical interface. Most noticeable changes are in the buttons and checkboxes.
- Removed the uninstaller executable (uninstall.exe). Now the uninstall process is done through the main application (UVK_en.exe). This means less HD space used and smaller package size.
- Added a C++ coded DLL (UVK.dll). It contains functions for faster drawing, encryption and file information.
- Improved the file signature verification function. Now it validates the catalog file in case the certificate is not embebed in the file to verify.
- Added an "About" dialog box to display information about the UVK version in use and the product licence.
- Fixed some important bugs in the following fixes: Register system DLLs, Reset IE and internet settings, Defragment C, Defragment all drives and Optimize boot and shutdown.
- Modified the behavior when using the portable versions. The message box prompting to uninstall the portable version when closing will only be displayed once. I think thins is obvious, if the user doesn't want to uninstall UVK after using the portable version, he's planning on using it often afterwards.
- The -Uninst command line switch for UVK_en.exe was changed. For silent uninstall, -Auto should be appended . Using only UVK_en.exe -Uninst will start the common uninstall process with all the dialog boxes and prompts.
