I not sure what is going on with Rogue Killer. They have recently changed their interface and are even incorporating spyware when using the installer from their website. Be sure to uncheck those third party check boxes if you go down that road. The issue I'm now having surly has nothing to do with WRT but I am thinking Rogue Killer is taking a step backwards as it is or was considered a very good tool for removing Malware. When running Rogue Killer using MRT today the scan was interrupted and a prompt from Rogue Killer was asking for a disk to be inserted. The scan would not continue. I had to abort and move on to other malware removal tools. Thought I would share.

Hi Timster,

thanks for the heads up.

I tested it yesterday after reading your post but haven't found any problems. The only minor thing i noticed is that it opens a webpage (from the manufacturer of RogueKiller) during the scan, that can be closed without issues. For the rest, it didn't tried to install extra-software (i'm using the portable version of RogueKiller in WRT) and the scan completed normally.

Anyway if you find recurring issues with this or any other tool, please let me know!

Thanks
Interesting... Not sure what that was all about then. Thanks
Hi all,

I've just released the version 1.3.0.0 of Windows Repair Toolbox. The tool is now available at http://www.windows-repair-toolbox.com (it's the same blog as before, i´m just using a custom domain). Here's what's changed (as usual sorry in advance for any errors, English is not my first language):

- The “Notes” tab now offers more features (ability to save to, import, print, save screenshots, format the text, etc.), including the integration with some of the Nirsoft Password Recovery Tools (to easily save to one single file or print one document containing the Windows and Office product keys, emails, wireless, and browsers passwords).

- Emsisoft Emergency Kit will no longer prompt for a extraction path, it will automatically be extracted to the same location as the other malware removal tools.

- In the hardware section, MemTest has been replaced with GPU-Z (because except for remote assistance, i can't imagine other scenario were the tool would be used instead of a bootable program).

- Eset Services Repair has been discontinued by Eset as a standalone tool, and has been integrated into Sirefef Cleaner. WRT will now run this tool ("Serv. Repair" button) with the specific parameter to make it repair and restore Windows Services to their default state (ps: just noticed a typo in the tooltip of the button, i repeated the word "repair" twice, i'll correct that in the next version).

- With some previously downloaded programs, WRT would return a message stating that the file already exists and would start a new download afterwards, instead of giving the user the option either to run the already existing file or to download a new one. This bug has been fixed.

- Due to a change in Bleeping Computer website, some of the downloads stopped working. To overcome that issue, I temporarily hosted myself some of the files and, from time time some programs like AdwCleaner or Combofix became outdated. That issue is now solved, and those downloads are now coming again directly from Bleeping Computer.

- The tool “FixWin” would not download and run in Windows 8.1. That problem is now fixed.

- If selected to run during the unattended fix process, Windows Repair AIO would stop in it's repair nº 7, under 32 bits versions of Windows. That issue is now solved.

- Clicking the "Clear Downloads" button in the settings tab would make WRT "not responding" while the downloads were being erased. That problem has been fixed.

- Decrapifier no longer runs under Windows XP, and Emsisoft no longer runs on Windows versions prior to Windows 7. When trying to run any of these programs in any of those versions of Windows, WRT will inform through a message box and will not proceed.

As always, all feedback (suggestions to improve, bug reports, etc.) is welcome.

Thanks!
Keep up the good work! your efforts are appreciated.
Just tried to download the portable version today on a clients computer with Windows 10. Windows Defender flagged it as a virus and blocked it.

Timster, thanks for the heads up!

I'll report the false positive to Microsoft (apparently that's something i have to do with every new released version of WRT).
Fantastic job. Well done.
@EAPTCB
Thank you for your kind words.

I'd just to let you guys know that Microsoft already fixed the false positive.
Great!
