Download D7 4.4.2

D7 is a program that can be used to fix all kinds of problems in Windows, remove malware and backup personal files and settings. The program uses self-developed solutions and relies on various external tools, which are also regularly used here in the Meuktracker, such as Hitman Pro, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, HijackThis and the tools from Piriform. However, D7 is a powerful tool that also injury can do and is therefore mainly intended for the experienced PC technician. D7 is still in development and should be considered beta material. Since the previous entry in the Meuktracker, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in version 4.4.2

• Fixed (Google) Search not functioning properly for those who have not selected a search engine in D7 Config.

Changes in version 4.4

• Fixed the ever elusive issue with Toggle Hidden Files functions not working as expected.
• Expanded D7 main interface to allow more room for future additions.
• Fully integrated DataGrab into a D7 tab, and discontinued stand-alone DataGrab project.
• DataGrab now backs up MS Office activation files/data.
• If MBAM is already installed, D7 now prompts you to update it before scanning instead of automatically updating regardless.

Changes in version 4.3.2

• Added ERUNT Reg Backup function to the Tools menu, due to popular demand.
• Added MS Fixit for Windows Update on the Repair tab.

Changes in version 4.3.1

• Clear Proxy Settings function now works with Firefox!

Changes in version 4.3.0

• Malware Scan status bar should now indicate when deleting files.
• Fixed issue where Malware Scan didn’t scan all users (and HKU\.DEFAULT) Run keys, Shell values, and a few other items.
• Adding/cleaning up debugging code.
• New: Ability to configure a custom search engine! (visit D7 Config!) Choose from predefined engines Google English, Google SSL, Scroogle, Scroogle SSL, Dogpile, or enter/modify your own custom URL search string! (Currently does not apply to goog.exe / Explorer context menu searches, only within D7, and various search buttons may still display “Google” instead of the actual search engine you have configured.)

Changes in version 4.2.9

• Confirmed: Delete Temp Files lockups fixed. Hopefully for good.
• Under the hood work.

Changes in version 4.2.8

• Under the hood work including debugging code updates.
• Accidentally broke Delete Temps Files code in previous releases when adding in fail safe mechanisms… fixed.

Changes in version 4.2.7

• Separated “Toggle Hidden Files/Ext” function on the Tweaks tab, and in D7 Config for startup/shutdown behavior.
• Fixed Install dSupport button not finding dSupportSetup.exe in 3rd Party Tools.

Changes in version 4.2.6

• Major improvement in Delete Temp Files routine to attempt to prevent rare lockups on some systems.
• Added Offline System Restore for Vista/7 to the Offline tab per suggestion, thanks Simon!

Changes in version 4.2.5

• Added CBS log parsing to the WinVista/7 SFC Wrapper – useful to determine which files couldn’t be replaced after a dirty SFC scan. Thanks to Steve Evjen for giving me the idea on the very day prior to my actually needing this functionality!

Changes in version 4.2.4

• Added dSupport config tab supporting new dSupport features for v1.2 (for users of dSupport only)
• Added option to copy info reports (from Info tab) to \Support on the operating system partition, for future access to that information if needed.
• New D7 downloads now have the toggle hidden files on/off at startup/shutdown features DISABLED by default.
• Misc adjustments.

Changes in version 4.2.3

• Fixed broken Delete Temp Files routine (broken since 4.2.1 oops!)
• Improved D7’s ability to clear proxy settings on Windows XP. Sometimes it would not properly clear the settings in the past.

Changes in version 4.2.2

• Fixed an issue with “Get Installed Apps List” in DataGrab.
• RegReplace (WinXP) now reverts changes on a failure to copy the hives from \System Volume Information.
• Improved D7’s ability to strip command line parameters from strings representing file names when retrieved from registry entries, in many cases allowing D7 to properly handle the file whereas it may not have been able to prior.
• D7’s startup check of the HKCR\exefile\shell\open\command key now immediately attempts to terminate any potentially rogue process found prior to showing you the form to optionally fix the reg value and delete the file.
