mrroach Posted February 2, 2009 ID:52815 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I wish that you all would bring back RougeRemover, I've been in situations that without it, even with the current release of anti-malware I can't complete a scan. I've got the latest version of RougeRemover that you don't support anymore, or offer for that matter, and it's gotten me out of many a tight jams. Please bring it back.

exile360 Posted February 2, 2009 ID:52819 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Greetings mrroach and welcome to the forum.Not that it's any consolation (I loved RR too, and still keep a copy of the free version on my flash drive) but here's some posts with insight from the main developer Rubber Ducky about why it was discontinued:http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=5616http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10344By the way, it's also portable in case you didn't know, meaning you can grab the folder from the program files directory and copy it to a flash drive to run on infected PC's without having to install anything.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted February 2, 2009 Root Admin ID:52832 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well I could be wrong, but if anything is needed I would assume it is the Visual Basic Runtime files and not the common control files and definitely not the .NET files. Though having the .NET files now days is probably a good thing because most software being developed commercially is starting to use .NET more and more.

exile360 Posted February 2, 2009 ID:52836 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The only time I've run into a dependency error I just had to register COMCTL32.OCX which is in the RR program folder (Spywareblaster's the same way). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though having the .NET files now days is probably a good thing because most software being developed commercially is starting to use .NET more and more.I know the help file for MBAM links to the Common Controls, and not the Runtime. I assume Marcin made Rogue Remover with the same dependency.As far as .NET, there's no need to install the Common Controls or the Runtime if you have .NET 2.0 installed. They're part of the .NET framework. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrroach Posted February 3, 2009 Author ID:52899 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I keep a copy of the installer on my flash drive seeing as how I'm a technician and I use RR more times in a day than I can count, and fso many times its been the deciding factor between a restore and a successful virus removal.

You only need working and properly registered VB runtimes and support files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
