    I hope you'l like it!

    Executable files being analyzed with PeStudio are never launched. Therefore you can use PeStudio to inspect unknown executable and even malware with no risk. PeStudio runs on any Windows Platform and is fully portable, no installation is required. PeStudio does not change the system it is running on nor does it leave anything behind. Among very famous security tools, PeStudio has proudly obtained Rank 4 on the Best 2013 Security Tools.

    @flatfly Yes, I noticed that bug. This will be fixed in the next version of pestudio, which will be released soon. Please note that this tool is still under development. Thank you for giving pestudio a try...

    Thanks for responding so fast!
    There still seems to be an issue, though: this shouldn't be flagged as suspicious, unless I'm missing something:

    Also, I'm not sure why the functions "SetConsoleTitleW" / "SetConsoleTitleA" in kernel32.dll are flagged by PeStudio as "undocumented":

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686050(v=vs.85).aspx

    By the way, do you plan to attend the next Black Hat in NL? If so, I would be honored to meet up for a chat. :)

    @flatfly you're right! When below a mininum, the indicator about VT score should not be shown as a suspcious entry! This will be changed to avoid "noise".. I am not yet sure to be able to go to BL NL. Will be decided soon. Sure, I would be happy to have a chat with you about my dev. :)

    Just wanted to write a belated thank you for your program :)

    It's handy for the paranoiacs amongst us to confirm that when oddly named services appear, that they are in fact are connected to an on-demand scanner we just ran.
