Robotask doesn't have a 30 day trial license!!!
My license is forever. You people installed it wrong.
The readme said ACTIVATE.EXE first, then setup.exe.

BTW Autohotkey is a legitimate program, check out CNet. CNet gave it 4 stars, not bad at all.
And autohotkey is freeware.

Nr. 58, you're right. Good or bad program, I don't care. I am not a computer specialist. But I don't want to be fooled. It is a GAOTD or it is not. This is indeed NOT. I removed it.

I'm afraid we got glass pearls only from Neowise this time. Some of the functions are missing. (Check the e-mail topic of the Help, and compare it with the available functions.) I also tried the FTP syncronyzing with less success - the program mixes up capital and low case letters of the filenames and detects error while downloading files.

Yes #49, I got the same detection of "newjoke" trojan. When your software detects it, answer to ignore. Your Security program should automatically block the file and install all other files. Scan your system after activation and installation just to be sure!

72: You'll need to provide more detailed info for ppl to determine why. Usually theres a "details" button you can click.
For instance, I have my Kaspersky sensitivity up high, and it alerts me to a whole bunch of things when I do things such as install my purchased copy of Bioshock, or when I install new drivers, etc. Usually its things like hidden registry key, or hidden install (from a game trying to silently update direct x), or when I do drivers its usually something trying to put itself into startup, etc. I prefer more alerts than less, so thats why I have it that way.

So you'd have to give us much more detail first about what your program is saying before we could help you.

Great! It works! I look forward to putting it to good use!

Another winner, GAOTD!

A typical low-quality Russian product!
Now it has the right price for what it offers, free.

Even though they say it is free for the visitors the software is loaded as trail version. Recently all the so called free version are not actually freeware, they are trialware.

My spyware doctor says this this software is infected with a malicious script and a trojan horse. Please check the software before installation.

I am using Vista Premium and had two problems with this one. First, after downloading it and running the program, it opens to show it's just a 30-day trial. There is no key or registration code provided to truly activate, so I tried what someone said above, to right-click and 'run as administrator' but that still didn't work. Next, I closed the program to see if re-booting would activate past the 30-day trial and the now familiar pop-up came, telling me the program failed to respond, did I want to de-bug. I closed the program completely and uninstalled from the pc.

I suspect that the original download everyone raved about was replaced with the 'trial' version sometime during the day, as my download occurred very close to the end of the cycle. Anyway, it's another program I can't use.

GOTD appears to have recoded their pages so that they again cannot be saved. I tried saving and get an immediate pop-up that says "Webpage cannot be saved". Please reverse this again so that they can be saved. They are useful information that I keep in the same directory as those programs I decide to download.

Even worse: I cannot print the page. When I try the browser stops responding. Please fix this!

activate.exe from main download link AND mirror keeps giving "Fatal error: key is invalid."

A Few Notes

1. Neither this program, nor it's creators, have anything whatsoever to do with RoboForm; the similarity is purely coincidental.

2. It's a very good macro creation/managing program. I have tried it along with about 10 others (free and commercial) and for my purposes it fared the best. For example, I have it delete data folders created by some programs that don't seem to have sense enough to simply use the folders I specify! I also use it to load my email challenge/response program, open my mail client, check my several accounts for new mail, then close the chalenge/response program because I don't want or need it running all the time. I do all this with a quick Alt+M. It can come in handy for loading/unloading accessory programs when needed or not needed. Final example: I open Visual Studio, it opens a code library program for me automatically.

3. As good as the program is, I'll be a fat man if it's worth a hundred dollars! That part is just ludicrous. Apparently though, somebody's paying it because the price hasn't dropped since I first looked at it a couple years ago.

4. Finally, I can't use it, even free, because I download so many programs that I usually re-image my hard drive about every 2-3 months, and I wouldn't be able to reload it (the giveaway will have expired), and I'll be a fat man again if I'm going to create a new image just for a program like this!

Hi
To ppl like #9, #54, #61, ..., still thinking this product is related to Roboform & are equating the reputation of one w the expected performance of the other:
Like #10 said, Roboform is by SiberSystem
Today's software is by Neowise Software, the same C° who offered 2 previous Giveaways:
- Express Thumbnail Creator (24.12.6)
- NeoDownloader (15.12.6)

If anyone out there knows if these 2 C° are related &/or somehow connected, please let us know.
Again, not saying today's product is not good, just saying they don't seem to be related.

But, it would of been relevant if Neowise Software had dispelled the link, as soon as it saw that ppl were making the connection since early last night, based on the similarities of the names.
Cheers

Tried posting this earlier but, it did not post! Hmmmm .... anyway. This is related to post #49. I continue to get "trojan" warnings from Spyware Doctor when I try to install this program. Anybody have any ideas why?

Yep, I am having trouble running it on 32 Vista Ultamite. Every time I run it, it pops up the windows error thing and says the usual (robotask has stopped working, etc) message. Any idea on how to fix this?

#52 What do you mean autohotkey is a hackers site? Where would you get such an idea? If you are going to make a statement like that, you should provide the evidence that lead you to arrive at your conclusion.

Autohotkey is a perfectly legitimate open source application. It's home site www.autohotkey.com is certainly not 'a hackers site'.
This application is available for download at ZDNET (latest version) http://downloads.zdnet.com/download.aspx?&docid=233712&promo=100510
at Tucows http://www.tucows.com/preview/355189 (older version)

If you had bothered to spend even a minutes time with Google or Yahoo searching the matter, you would not have spread this misinformation. (I am assuming it was a mistake, rather than a deliberate malicious deception).

OMG thank you! i had to reformat and I lost this! It's one of my favorite programs!

No one else is getting a security warning about a trojan when they try to open and install this program? I have Spyware Doctor giving me this warning.

vista is failed

Downloaded it and opened, AVG stated that it found a trojan: Downloader. Allowed AVG to clean it. I removed the leftover registry keys and downloaded from the mirror site. AVG flagged it before it opened all the way. Same trojan was found. Cleaned up and ran AVG anti-virus and AVG anti-spyware. Both are clean. Evidentially AVG does not like this program. I know it is not the downloads as I have had not trouble before with any download. Just a notice on my experience with it.

I used Robotask to uninstall itself - it seems to be in a loop now.

Is it just me, or are there others out there who can't download the app? I get a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error. I have tried both the primary and the Mirror sites - same result...

Message 2:
"100 dollar worth software for free. Will try it"
What is the point of such a fucking pointless comment?

I am using RoboTask to create this comment and it keeps truncating the

I've used this one before but I never expect to see it again! It's the best auto program if you don't want to waste time doing codes. !!!

Downloaded it and then uninstalled it.
My roboform pro stopped worked so I don't need this
program.

Take a look at the "PlugIns" option under Settings...Windows 3.1 called and they want their Icons back!!

I didn't like this program the first time around. Same old stuff here. Give us something new!!!!

Robotasks uninstaller leaves behind 29 registry entries.

# 28 I didn't download it twice to put on my other machine I just put the setup file I had just used on a usb stick and put it on the other machine, it installed no problem.

I downloaded this last time it was offered and it has been working great since. I use it to perform some clean up and back up tasks automatically. It does support loops, if statements and waits as well as a number of other things. I have one task that waits until a file is written to a specific folder before proceeding with the next step.
You don't need to know a programming language to use it. It does help to know the basic structure of programs though.
As for mouse movements, I tell Robotask to put the mouse in the upper left corner of the window. Robotask can be set to find a specific window and the corner. I then specify how many pixels to move down and to the right. This way you don't have to worry about the mouse starting in the wrong place when Robotask starts to move it.

If Robo Task works anything like ROBO FORM, it is defiantly worth downloading. I have been using Robo Form for the last year and it make accessing any web site, password needed or not as easy as a click of the mouse. It is great for Sweepstakes forms.

Is this a 30 day demo or do get to keep the program for free after the stated demo period? Others have asked this question but with no reply.

reply to #16 Autohotkey is a hacker site DO NOT DOWN LOAD IT !!!!!
Not the program thats up now but the one this guy says (( autohotkey )) from #16

Activated fine for me. On the HELP, ABOUT screen it says licensed to GOTD, so its activating fine. I have XP.

In Vista right click on the activation program and run as adminstrator, it works.

I'm getting a warning about a Trojan file trying to access another file when I try to install this program. What's up with that?
File = is-SBCBN.tmp r/t Trojan-PWS.NewJoke or
File = is-2816c.tmp the second time I tried.

A very powerful program - if you know how to use it! The program starts up with all all 21 plugins loaded e.g. registry, ftp, network e.o. which includes a risk when experimenting end learning "how to operate". The Help menu does not explain how to prevent 'auto load' of plugins or how to unload them afterwards.

Robotask was offered in last December and I'm glad I grabbed it then. It does exactly what it says it does and I use it for a number of tasks, including some clean up work whenever I shut down my PC. BTW Robotask got a 95% favorable rating in December!

.. also just got this. Activated first and then ran setup. Comes up as 30 day trial. Maybe it has to go in the other way.. setup and then activate.

I prefer using VistaTask (it used to be called Vistarunner). It has over 200 actions it can perform and can compile your program into an executable.

GAOTD IS NOW "FREE TRIAL PERIOD OF THE DAY"

I noticed that myself. I won't activate until I know that I'll be able to keep it.

I downloaded the program and followed the readme file exactly, and it says it's a demo file? 30 days only? Is anyone else getting this?

I have downloaded it, the first remark that attracted my attention is that this is a 30 day trial. Do I have to buy it after 30 days? In that case this is not a giveawayoftheday but a temporarylendoftheday. Can anyone tell me if this will still work after 30 days trial.

One can get very quick thumbs up and down because people already have the program being offered, either from an earlier GOTD offering or paying for it (imagine that!!).

Another very flexible program of this type is PTFBpro available for $29.99 at http://www.ptfbpro.com/. It also has a user forum and active development programmers that are very responsive.

100 buckeroos for this!
Sounds kind of nifty, i'll give it a try.

#28- Had the same problem until I downloaded from mirror site, then everything worked fine. I've had this happen a couple of times. I don't have time to fiddle with the program today, but I think I will like it. If not, uninstall..Thanks GAOTD!

#22: Oops, sorry - the Firefox add-on for loading different daily Web pages is "Morning Coffee," not "CoffeeCup" as I wrote in my previous post (#36). Looks like I need my morning coffee!
