Thanks!
lol? I was drained lastnight but I don't remember writing that xD
:-) See it again!
No worries mate! lol. But if it is of any help to readers, you receive a 30 day fully functional trial, then after the 30 days it reverts to a Scan & C lean only program. Not a bad deal if you ask me.
I added it :-)
The ReplaceUAC program is malware!
SiteAdvisor and WOT rates the website as red!
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/replaceuac.com
http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/replaceuac.com
(I wrote a review for this website on WOT)
Safeweb stupidly rates the website as green but I also wrote a bad review as well.

I used the program myself and I can say that ReplaceUAC is nothing but pure evil.
Oh, my mistake.
The program isn't called ReplaceUAC, it's called SmartUAC
Hi!
ReplaceUAC is not malware, see virustotal analysis

Also, Prevx did not give any warning during installation. How did you see/"see" it was malicious? I removed it, as the company itself seems suspicious.
Thanks for responding!
The only malicious activity I recall from using this program was that my PC kept freezing up a lot! My PC hadn't experienced that much freezes before! After uninstalling this POS program (using Safe Mode and Revouninstaller), my PC was fine after that.
I researched SmartUAC on some other websites and some users claim the program gave them nothing but problems! (BSOD was one instance! Though, I don't recall getting a BSOD with this program).
You were right to remove the program. Security Stronghold (maker of SmartUAC) has somewhat of a bad reputation (just look at its SiteAdvisor and WOT reviews). Even though some people say that Security Stronghold isn't all that bad, I wouldn't trust them one bit.
Wuzzup can't remove detections according to the developer:

thanks!
In the end, we decided to award eight of the ten licenses donated by Immunet for our "how to stay safe online" competition winners here:
http://www.techsupportalert.com/freeware-forum/security/4430-win-license...
The remaining two plus three more will be given away to the first five members to send me what I think are the funniest one sentence reasons why they should get one! Humorous personal abuse is acceptable so long as it's only directed at me :D
Entries by PM only please. Keep them clean as we need to publish the results!
Looking good mate! By the way, the correct link for Trendmicro SysClean is now:

Thanks!

Read the manual first...
Looks good!
I find the best on demand scanner with removal is Eset.I do not see a listing for it.

Thanks! This scanner is already included :)
Win a License for Immunet Protect Plus!
Followers of Immunet Protect cloud based antivirus will be aware that the 2.0 version has just been released.
www.immunet.com/free/index.html
I have to say that I’ve been quite impressed with how Alfred Huger and the rest of his team have conducted this exercise. Their dedication and commitment to customer generated improvements is a sure fire lesson some other vendors would do well to copy. The net result is an effective antimalware solution which will continue to improve as development moves forward. A bonus is that the program will run alongside many of the traditional solutions. The official and unofficially supported programs are listed here:

In recognition of the feedback received from TSA members, Immunet have graciously made available 10 free licenses for the “Plus” version of Immunet Protect. In order to give everyone a fair shot at these we’ve decided to run a competition. All you need do to enter is to write a short piece about the steps you take to stay safe online, including the *programs you use and why you think these are the best solutions.
*Any entries containing references to commercial products will be disqualified.
Entries should be submitted to myself by using the “Contact Info” button which is accessible by clicking my user name (MidnightCowboy) in the forum.
If you are not already registered for the site please use the "register" button at the top of the forum page.
The ten winners will each receive a free license for the “Plus” version of Immunet Protect and their entries will be published in a special “Security” section forum thread.
Closing date for receipt of entries is Monday 28th June, 2010.
The judges decision will be final and no correspondence will be entered into concerning entries.
PE Guard is not free anymore!
Thanks!
In the "Encrypting files" category it would be a good thing to look at "Androsa FileProtector" which gives up to 256 bit AES encryption.

Thanks!
For Boot-CD's why not use Sardu:
http://www.sarducd.it/
The website is in Italian, but it's easy enough to change the language inside the program.
Thanks, Sardu is already included :)
Sorry, I was looking in the wrong section.
Thanks.
For Sandboxie you may want to add a note about this:

I don't think this (drop rights needed) is a big disadvantage for most 64-bit SB users.
