Thank you, I had a nasty virus and it helped to get rid of it. Thanks Again!

You're very welcome, glad to hear LunarDownloader helped ease the process of killing that nasty infection.

Proff · Jul 26, 2008, 09:35 PM // 21:35

Thanks, gonna keep this in mind next time I'm setting up my computer.

If I may make a suggestion: change the name of this utility. Too many trojans/viruses/malware themselves are known as something-downloader. At least that was what I thought of at first sight of its name. Something along the lines of 'lunar anti-malware downloader' would be better I think.

Hi The Meth,
I've heard this from a few people, so it's in serious consideration. Prior to the official release, it was called Anti-Malware Downloader. But we changed it since some people might refer to it as AMD.

Name suggestions are welcome!

Technician's Toolkit has been suggested and sounds pretty good. Thoughts?

Snograt · Jul 28, 2008, 07:20 PM // 19:20

Yes, that fits the bill very nicely.

Check there are no commercial products with that name or similar, though.

Snow Bunny · Jul 28, 2008, 07:30 PM // 19:30

So wait -

This takes software (copyrighted?) and bundles it up and distributes it?

Pardon my asking, but it sounds too good to be true, except that it sounds slightly illegal.

Painbringer · Jul 28, 2008, 07:44 PM // 19:44

Spring Cleaning 08 ?

Technician's Toolkit Good to

Question

What if you already have one or a couple of the tools loaded on your system? Should you remove them 1st or will the program recognize this and skip the new install?

It is all open source or shareware. in otherwords FREE.

@Snograt,
A new name has been decided. A few people thought the Tech Toolkit sounded too scary/intimidating. So another name has been introduced.

@Snow,
None of the software is bundled. It's downloaded directly from the source onto your computer in the folder you designate. Say you want to download Spybot? It downloads Spybot S&D from the official Spybot website. SUPERAntiSpyware, direct from their website.

@Painbringer,
Great question! This has been brought up before on another forum.

At this time there are no detections to tell if the software is installed. However, it will not install any software for you. You have to go to your download folder and install it yourself. It is planned to implement installed software detection and perhaps even color the nodes accordingly.

@All,
I welcome suggestions for this program and you can post them on my forum. I check it frequently and most suggestions get implemented. Windows Update was implemented very shortly after Ultimate Predator suggested it.

Looks like you're getting a nod from the guys over at Lifehacker:

Whoa! I just saw it on DownloadSquad this morning.

Thanks SnipiousMax!

Noticed it's on a lot of other sites now too. My forums stalled because of so many users. :P
