<description><![CDATA[I thought this would be a great package but to me it was a GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT!  I ran it, thought I had it set correctly but it wiped out all of my music, podcasts and apps for my iPhone!  Back tracked to see if I had something set wrong, didn't find anything.  Been a computer nerd for 30 years so kind of know what I'm doing.  Very disappointed; THANK GOD FOR BACKUPS!  DON'T RECOMMEND THIS ESPECIALLY FOR N00Bs!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi Folks,

  MegamanXD..

  While I am leaning to the view that the whole wo.exe thing may well be a false alarm, it is situations like yours that create a real alarm.
 
  With some companies like Piriform (CCleaner) and AceLogix you at least have a public forum, forcing a level of accountability. They do not want to hose systems .. they will get many very irate posts on their forums. (This can be a free product or paid.) On the other hand when a utility package is sold or distributed and there is no public discussion and strong support contact, then everything is pretty much invisible.  If dup file cleaning crash out system files, you can only find out by scouring the internet, if the registry cleaning deletes aggressively or stupidly, similarly .. who can tell.  

   Thus I would never use such a package .. unless there is a public and strong support structure.  Which WinUtilities does not have.

Shalom,
Steven]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I use an awesome freebie that I found called Diskmax, by John Koshy.  The first use, it deleted almost a GIGABYTE of crap of my XP driven pc.  This was after using the disk cleaner on windows.  You can get it at Koshyjohn.com.  It is amazing to me that it's free, but this software here seems to be useful too.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[WO.exe is the system tray menu that allows you to launch the utilities (try to click or right click on the icon in the system tray).

You can right click and shut down wo.exe from the exit menu. If you run wo.exe again - the menu and icon will reappear.

Open the file wo.xml in notepad - to see the definition of the menus that are displayed.

It is in the registry to add the icon etc during startup so the menu is conveniently available.

If it remained on your pc after an uninstall - it is probably because you didn't fully shutdown the program (right click - exit WinUtilities) and so the files were in use and windows was unable to delete them.

This is standard behavior for how windows works.

There is a trojan/spyware called web offer with a filename also "wo.exe" - but that is where the similarities end. If your spyware software is detecting an infection - it is probably getting detected based only on the filename and perhaps the fact it is being loaded from hklm. I'd suggest checking it with something else.

Try renaming the file to something different (so the dependency on filename is removed) and just scan it's contents. You could also check the file on http://virusscan.jotti.org/en or http://www.virustotal.com/]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Had the installed on Win XP sp3, W2k sp4, &amp; W98se.  I uninstalled on all syatems.  ALL had wo.exe still in HKLM run, and only W98se removed wo.exe from the system.  Why after uninstalling would something be left installed and running!  Have put this on my blacklist.

<description><![CDATA[#154 Another little help.....The Defrag gives a Report that lists the 25 files that take the MOST space on your HDD. Very interesting! Specially when you find files that you never knew of and are from some 5 years ago! Plus point for this guys from YL Computing. 
The Duplicate File Finder, on the other hand, shows some little problems: 
 - it lists duplicate files in PAIRS with same 4 variables: time, size, name and usage. What happens if there are 3 files of the same? What am I supposed to delete, one of the two or both? Maybe one of them is important? If it found 600 of them, how can I mark for deletion all of them? Right now it forces me to click on each and everyone of them. Tedious!
Still, better than CCleaner!]]></description>
