Download UVK 3.0.0.0
UVK stands for Ultra Virus Killer, but that doesn’t quite cover it, because this program can do much more than just remove viruses and malware. With UVK, various Windows problems can also be solved, for example with processes, drivers or programs that start with Windows. Scanning the computers uses external programs such as Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware, SuperAntiSpyware and HitmanPro, which explains the download of only about 5MB. However, the program is not recommended for the novice user and is similar to D7 in that sense. Since the previous entry in the Meuktracker, the following changes have been made:
Changes in version 3.0.0.0:
- General internal debugging and improvement.
- Added a new section: UVK immunization. This section allows the users to protect the most commnly affected registry and file system areas from being infected. Full info here†
Important: You should un-immunize all areas when using the UVK fixes. Many of them will not work when your system is immunized.
Added a new custom command to automate the immunization:. Full info here† - New feature: Registry backup and restore. Can be found in the UVK immunization section.
Splitted the Reset security and ntfs settings fix in two different fixes Reset registry and file permissions and Reset security with secedit. The first one uses the Windows Api to reset the permissions. The latter uses secedit.exe. - Also added a new custom command for the Reset security with secedit fix:
. The command now applies to the Reset registry and file permissions fix. - Improved the application’s UI section switch. It was a little jumpy on Xp and low performance machines :).
- New feature: Always on top (sets whether the UVK window should have top most attributes). Configurable from Welcome screen -> UVK options.
- New feature: Save settings to ini file. Placing the created ini file in the same path as the UVK packages will make them automatically write the settings from the ini file to the registry. This includes the UVK running protection password, the UVK preferences and settings, and the lists columns width. This feature is only available for the users who bought the UVK branding key.
- Removed the ComboFix automation from the Automatic anti-malware scans section. The author and the bleepingcomputer.com admin do not allow me to do it anymore.
- Added a link to the ComboFix download page, and another one to the Kaspersky virus removal tool in the Automatic anti-malware scans section.
- Added the new custom commands mentioned above to the Log analyzer’s insert menu.
- Added support for IPv6 addresses when analyzing the hosts file.
Changes in version 2.7.0.1:
- General internal debugging and improvement.
- Fixed several important internal bugs.
- Improved the file signature verifying function. Should work faster now.
Changes in version 2.7.0.0:
- General internal debugging and improvement.
- Updated the Kill all feature in the Process manager section. You can now choose one of three options:
- Kill all non trusted processes – This feature verifies the digital signatures of the processes to kill. If the signer is part of an internal trusted signers list, the process will not be killed. The list includes some trusted publishers like Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, Opera, Hewlett Packard, Acer, etc.
- Kill all non essential processes – Already present in previous versions.
- Kill all non critical processes – Already present in previous versions.
- Renamed the Startup entries and services section Startup entries and scheduled tasks. This section now manages the sheduled tasks instead of the active services.
- Added a new feature in this section: Hide/Show Microsoft signed files. This can highly reduce the number of entries in the list, making easier to detect infected files.
- Renamed the Drivers and sheduled tasks section Windows services and drivers. This section now manages all the services and drivers.
- Added buttons in this section for full service management: Delete service (and file, if selected), Stop service, Start service. Pause service, Resume service and Set startup type,
- Added a feature to choose the services to display: You can choose between Show all services and drivers, Hide inactive services and drivers, Hide Microsoft services and drivers and Hide inactive and Microsoft services and drivers.
- The Stop all non Microsoft services feature has been moved to this section.
- Added a new custom command:
. Does the same as the Kill all non trusted processes feature of the Process manager mentioned above. - Updated the download urls for Mbam, Combofix and Flash.
- Updated the Mbam scan automation for the latest version.
- Updated the Delete or replace file or folder section. When selecting Don’t recycle, Now users can choose not to display the warning dialog box again.
- Fixed a bug in the HitmanPro scan when run from a UVK script (important).
- Added a new file context menu: File information. Now you can get all the info needed to check if a file is infected straight from the Windows explorer. This includes verifying the file’s signature, the VirusTotal MD5 report and lots of other info. This option is only available for the users who have bought the UVK branding key
