bratsch, IMPORTANT: Please note that due to the software wrapper, developed by GOTD Team, that limits software ativation to 24 hours only, your installation might be blocked by your antivirus (AVG, Avast or Kaspersky)!

In order to install the program, you'll have to temporally disable your antivirus.

If you have Kaspersky antivirus, please disable it and restart the computer.
Please make sure it won't start automatically with the computer.
Now please download the program archive once again and try to install it.

Be sure, all installers are always tested on virustotal.com and are virus free.

We apologize for inconvenience!

Chris,
I had a similar problem until I turned Avast antivirus off temporarily.
I find that happens fairly often.

David Walker, That did it! Thanks!!

Geesh, it's a duplicate finder, not a file previewer.

It's not trying to help you identify unidentified files.

It's trying to help you reduce duplicates that take up space, duplicate and perhaps unnecessary files that are preoccupying backups and other scans like routine anti malware scans and defraggers and the like, occupying space without providing a unique benefit because, hey, there's another copy already on the hard drive somewhere..

You'll always have at least one copy left if you only use Wide Duplicate Finder to remove duplicates of ANY file type.

I don't think people understand the purpose of some tools.

Thank you very much for sharing your insight and recommendation.

Paul Silvan,
Right click and 'Open' works for JPGs

David Walker, your opinion of this program as a image Duplicate Finder

Peter Blaise, There are many dupe finders available which DO not only ALLOW previewing, but show a thumbnail of each file along with the file's location on your drive. Thanks anyway, but I'll use one of those instead.

.
And HERE, [ Paul Silvan ], was your opportunity to share with your fellow GOTD participants which competitive deduplicator software you prefer because they offer file contents preview.

Go right ahead.

The only things you can control are your browsers, cookies / cache, and computer fingerprint.

On the one hand, keep changing them until you get the results you want.

On the other hand, stop changing them when you get the results that you want.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks for the insight on alternatives to today's GOTD.

"Giveaway" is one word, not two words, so the abbreviation of Giveaway Of The Day is GOTD, not GAOD.

A few background points regarding the "... the software wrapper, developed by GOTD Team ..." as you say:

1 - The GOTD wrapper was not developed BY GOTD, it is commercially available ( in customer-customized formats ) from a third party.

2 - The GOTD wrapper does not limit installation to only one day, but instead:

( a ) expands the embedded installation into an encoded virtual machine that is inaccessible to the operating system, thereby preventing reverse engineering of the contents, and

( b ) phoning home to get permission, which the GOTD mother-ship usually limits to one day, but the time limit is in GOTD's answer, not the wrapper itself.

3 - Anti virus programs seem to balk at the GOTD wrapper temporarily constructing an encoded virtual machine outside the anti virus's ability to watch, and so, anti virus programs tend to prevent the GOTD wrapper from functioning, that is why GOTD suggests turning off our anti virus program when installing from the GOTD wrapper ... then turning our anti virus program back on, and perhaps do a scan immediately so we feel comfortable that we have not been compromised.

4 - Not all GOTD offers use the wrapper, so non-wrapper GOTD installations can usually be accomplished with full participation of an anti virus program watching.

5 - Many of us immediately upload the GOTD offer to free [ VirusTotal. com ] and then report back here if there is a report of malware inside it.

6 - Not all programs reported by anti virus or anti malware programs are actually dangerous or fraudulent, some are "PUP"s, "POTENTIALLY Unwanted Programs", such as any utility that

( a ) is not necessary to operate the computer, and

( b ) may contain advertisement or prompts to install other programs ( such as free IObit Uninstaller offering to also install free IObit Advanced System Care, for example ), and or

( c ) personal conflict between vendors ( such as Malwarebytes considering ALL IObit and Auslogics software "POTENTIALLY" unwanted, geesh! ),

... also, some reported programs are too new to be recognized, or have powers usually considered worth warning about, such as partition programs that can erase a hard drive often get reported, even though there is nothing misleading, covert, or fraudulent about them -- it's like reporting that a chef in your kitchen has sharp knives, oh my!
__________

This is just a reference collection of observations I have made about my GOTD experiences over the years.

I hope it helps those who wonder what is going on with GOTD installations, and helps raise everyone's trust that nothing nefarious is happening at GOTD regarding sneaking under an anti virus programs radar, so to speak.

Mr Pasit, the Pro version unlocks the "Keep One" feature, which basically selects duplicates automatically and leaves one unselected, so you can literally keep one, as the option says.
