new tool idea

Fred, This could be a tool, or a script to run through an RMM, or maybe both. I have been trying to keep track of all the internet connected devices on my home network, and it's very difficult at times. Arp only shows what this computer has communicated with. Advanced IP Scanner works great, but you...

Re: TOS question

Sorry, I thought I replied to this, but it appears my IP address is blocked when I do it through my phone. Anyway, thanks for letting me know, Fred; I appreciate it. Will these be one-time purchases, or do the licenses renew each year? Also, is it the same as my version, or will the endpoint version...

Re: Software updater

Yah, I use Chocolatey right now, but I've played around with PatchMyPC. I wanted a script that I could just install the program and then just tell it to run weekly. With my RMM, it's eaiser to send a file over to them without needing to take control of the machine, which I would need to do if I want...

Re: Software updater

Update. I guess I was wrong. No program does them all. Even File hippo had a database of software it could look at. I thought it did all of them because it was able to find all the software on my machine. I didn't realize that it was just a larger database at the time.

Re: Software updater

That's cool, thanks.
The more I use UVK and it's other tools, the more I'm glad I didn't pay the extremely outrageous fees of Dx7. Thanks for this great product.

Re: Software updater

There are some tools like SysTweak that claim to have this ability, and I remember the old FileHippo did that. But I'm not sure if it's just based on a list and they don't tell you or if it truly scans everything. I would love the ability to update Windows Store apps. That would be nice. Can it be a...

Software updater

Hey Fred, I use an RMM that has a patch management component, but when it comes to third party programs on a computer, it will only update what's in its app store. Similar to the way that patch my PC will only look for the updates for certain software. When I'm looking for is a tool like the old fil...

Blocking Windows 10

I've been using the GWX Control Panel for some time now to monitor and block Windows 10 upgrades. To this date it seems to have worked just fine. Recently I was at a conference and someone suggested Never10 from Gibson Research. Has anyone here used it? What are your thoughts? I'm downloading it now...

Simple backup

Fred, I have a couple questions about your new backup program. 1. Is it in beta only now and will it be a paid program when you roll it out? 2. Will it run from a flash drive or does it have to be installed on the computer. 3. I haven't played with it much so I'm sorry if this one is a stupid questi...

Re: New tool: SyncAll Backup

This is a great tool I see many applications for this. One I plan to use it for is network backups. I can put this on all the computers in an office, and tell it to run at a particular day and time, backup up select folders to a network backup device.

Thanks for your great service Fred.

Re: IE keeps crashing

Ran SFC and it still happened. Removed all the Add-ons and no luck. Turned off Performance Booster, as well as resetting the browser. No luck. I just said IE sucks, use Firefox. No issues since we put firefox on her computer for her.

IE keeps crashing

I have a client who keeps calling me to say her IE keeps closing on her with a message "IE has stopped responding". I've run the Reset IE from UVK, but can't seem to get Fix IE to work properly. Can someone help me out with something else that could fix this issue? I know what they say abo...

Fix IE and Windows Shell

When I go to run "Fix IE and Windows Shell" from UVK it runs forever. I let it run just to see how long it would take and it ran 8 hours and never stopped. is this an issue with that function or something else on the suspect computer? I ran it on two different machines with the same result.
