D7

PURPOSE:

D7 is a tool for PC technicians to aid in many tasks and provide a uniform procedure for technicians to follow.  It has many capabilities and many uses including offline and live malware removal assistance, offline registry editing, data backup and restore, CPU/RAM stress testing, information gathering and quality assurance uses, etc. etc.  Too much to list here, right now at least.  It also combines some other projects of mine such as DataGrab and CheckDisk, among other smaller things. 

Note that D7 is not the malware scanner or remover, YOU are.  YOU control it's behavior by whitelist/blacklist functionality, and by your own pair of hopefully good eyeballs.  D7's MalwareScan functionality is designed to show you what D7 doesn't recognize, by whitelisting known good items, and automatically deleting known bad items.  From there, D7's MalwareScan merely shows you what is left after the whitelisting/blacklisting is applied.  From there, you have the option to whitelist, blacklist, delete, rename, ignore, google, or whatever you want with the results. 

Included with D7 are some sample whitelists (yet no blacklists.)  It's up to you to decide if you should use them and add to them, or delete them and create your own. 

"THIS TOOL IS INTENDED FOR EXPERIENCED PC TECHNICIANS ONLY, NOT FOR "END USERS."  This tool can be very dangerous and destructive in the wrong hands, or even in the right ones.  I have personally even hosed my own development machine by accidentally clicking the wrong button.  Sometimes I don't fully *test* D7 prior to use.  So you are forewarned!  If you are concerned about your data or the well being of your computer, then please make a backup of everything important prior to using D7.

Some scary reviews ....

"'Uninstall' Locked Me Out"

 by preachjohn on August 20, 2011

Pros: Good that it's available at all.

Cons: Too complicated for me.

Summary: I realized that it was above my understanding once downloaded. I decided to remove D7. I couldn't find a way to Delete it. It apparently doesn't really install. I 'checked none' on the pages permitted to do so.
Undid 'system configuration' and closed. I rebooted and then couldn't get back in. Exploring various F8 options brought me a blocking lsass.exe error every time.
Last Know Good Configuration did the trick. Too scary. And from what I did, it shouldn't have locked me out of my OS.
The warnings are not for naught. A book online detailing all the functions needs to be available with it.

Reviewing 3.9.0 Beta (Jul 9, 2011)

How the hell are you supposed to get rid of this thing as it has hundreds of associations and no simple way of getting rid of it.

A good product that turned into a nasty product. I'll now classify it as a high-jack.


*******************************************************************************

oh the daily update, and this does change or modify the registry with no undo option for the programmer

*******************************************************************************

  Personally I think it looks like an interesting program and seems to be a "container" for useful apps ... 

But then again it also looks like a "loaded gun" and could be very dangerious in the wrong hands or even just one slip could trash your system.

  good post mate ..
