Software-update: UVK 4.0.0.0

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 ongeveer 5MB verklaart. Het programma is echter niet aan te bevelen voor de beginnende gebruiker en is in die zin vergelijkbaar met D7. Sinds de vorige vermelding in de Meuktracker zijn de volgende veranderingen doorgevoerd:

Changes in version 4.0.0.0:

• General internal debugging and improvement.
• Added new section: Memory modules manager. Lists the modules loaded by all the processes, allows to retrieve info on them, and delete/rename them. This section also allows to exclude all Microsoft modules from the list (file signatures verified) to facilitate the detection of infected files.
• Added new section: Alternate streams manager. Allows to scan a drive or folder for ADS, and displays the results in a list, where you can select some or all of the streams, and perform several actions on them: Delete, read, get info, export, etc.
• Added new section: Useful links. The six links in the welcome screen have been replaced with a whole section full of useful links, which also allows to export them to an html file.
