Saw it when they announced it on Facebook a few days ago. Might be good news.

I don't know if I like that or not. Let's see what they do with it.

v7.2.0.0 Release date: April 24 2015

General debugging and code improvement.

New feature: The System Info section now allows to choose which groups to export to the html file, and also the name of the html file itself.

New feature: You can now run several simultaneous instances of UVK.

Improved the way UVK logs its actions to the log file. Logs are now formated by section, the information is written in a more comprehensive way, and only the relevant actions are logged.

Removed Junkware removal tool from the third party apps list, in the System repair section, as per the author's request.

In the previous versions of UVK, system restore point were only created if there was no restore point created in the last 24 hours. No UVK forces the creation of the restore point, regardless of the time the last one was created.

The Ultra Adware killer engine and database was completely rewritten from scratch. The application now provides a more flexible interface, where it becomes much easier to choose the items to remove/fix, and the browser reset actions to take.
The bit in red makes sense now.

Trajet,

That's the first thing I thought of. I didn’t use it myself. I like to choose what’s going to be removed.

I never used it much but with MBAM acquiring it, that could be interesting.

It is not "Can it be done?" but rather, "How can we do it?"
