MJ Registry Watcher - Little Update 1.2.7.2

I have just updated MJRW to 1.2.7.2 at http://jacobsm.com/mjsoft.htm

Changes are :-

Changes 1.2.7.1 to 1.2.7.2
1) Now ignores changes due to the case of letters being changed. Windows is case-insensitive.
2) Corrected exemption of filespecs with wildcards - these now work correctly.
3) Allowed MJRW to initialise properly when launched with Windows Task Scheduler.
4) Made watchdog process minimise more quickly at launch.
5) Added several new alert sounds to the package.

Enjoy!

 

Thanks Graphic. One of my favourite apps

 

Thanks for the update..

 

Very useful Tool!

 

Many thanks GE!!

 

A slight update - apparently arwwdwin.exe was reported by 10 out of 43 virus checkers as malware at virustotal.com. I checked and verified that these are definitely false positives. So, I shuffled a couple of lines of code around (with no effect on functionality) and recompiled it. The new version of arwwdwin.exe is now only reported by 3 out of 43 as malware, and one of those (Bitdefender) previously did not report it. These are definitely false positives, since all 3 PCs I compiled it on produce the same executable. What more can I do?

 

Can you UPX scramble the .exe? I do that with some Nirsoft utilities that I use on systems where I can't set exclusions in the Antivirus.

 

Hi,
Actually after the last update Bitdefender engine was the first to detect it and then came detections from other engines. I personally submitted FP to Bullguard (using BD engine) and they fixed that to BD. Now after this update BD again started detecting it. Don't bother I will again submit that FP to them...

 

Thanks sg09. I have tried several combinations of juggling lines, variables around and the result is that there are always 3 checkers reporting it as malware. They are :-

BitDefender 7.2 2011.03.19 DeepScan:Generic.Malware.P!.23A6C366
F-Secure 9.0.16440.0 2011.03.19 DeepScan:Generic.Malware.P!.23A6C366
GData 21 2011.03.19 DeepScan:Generic.Malware.P!.23A6C366



They are deffo FPs and I am leaving it at that. Hopefully, they'll get their acts together and realise they are being over-paranoid!

Regards

 

Yeh! all 3 are using Bitdefender engine.. Once the detection is removed from Bitdefender Virustotal will show you a clean result..

 

Bitdefender detection cured. Now only Emsisoft and Ikarus are detecting it.

 

That's good to know. Hopefully, the others will update their signatures eventually and mark it as clean. Thanks for keeping an eye on things, sg09.
