Such as eliminating corrupt registry entries where the Windows directory and other directories end up with graphics characters in their name instead of the proper ASCII lettering, though removing these does not 'fix' them, it eliminates the errant entry as a bottleneck or dead-end.

Neither you nor VirusTotal suggests there is any damage or compromise experienced by YLcomputing's WinUtilities various tools.Ĭonversely, I find WinUtilities not only safe, even over-cautious, but actually fast, and very helpful in resolving persnickety problems that other programs miss. Read the BEHAVIOR of our particular program at VirusTotal, and we see it's just doing what tools do – it reads stuff we want to edit on screen, and so on, nothing malicious: It's probably important for us to check our own copy of any file rather than rely on other's reports since others may have an infected version for reasons I will not speculate on or comment on at the moment Rising – PUF.YLSoft!8.113F6 (TFE:5:QKXtpsayOeH)Īll simply identified the program as WinUtilities.Īll 3 are POTENTIAL, not malice, such as the DOS 'format' command could be thought of as POTENTIALLY dangerous, of course, the way a knife is POTENTIALLY dangerous, but a chef in the kitchen uses them and depends on them – we can think of ourselves as chefs in computer kitchens.

That’s an errant unidentified copy of v15.77 a few months ago, NOT doday’s offering of genuine WinUtilities v15.82. “17 security vendors and no sandboxes flagged this file as malicious” – In response to AHMAD Novemat 7:59 pm This program is now dangerous for computers, unlike it used to be safe to use….if someone wants my license there is an active license guaranteed authentic.
