      Kevin,

      There is a setting in Options to keep the file metadata.

      Dave,

      There is no change in the file extension. It just compresses then so they take up as little space as possible. It does not change their function.

      This is not an editor. It is a way to do things to words and parts of any text in virtually any program with just a simply toolbar that you create.

      Chris,

      We sent you an email.

      Spyhunter is recognized as deceptive by Malwarebytes and others. They have a reputation for creating false positives to sell their software. The file is clean. Consider not giving Spyware Hunter any more money.

      That happens if the server gets overloaded with people downloading. It seems fine now.

      SCleaner is more of a quick cleanup.  If you want a CCleaner replacement, use HDCleaner https://www.oldergeeks.com/downloads/file.php?id=1957

      Dave,

      You are running a 32bit version of Windows 10. You will have trouble running the majority of recent software.  You should consider switching to Windows 10 64bit. It would require a reinstall of Windows.

      That is a very good question. Defender does not allow scanning of an excluded directory as far as I can tell from the test I just did. I will let you know if I find a workaround.

      Defender is disabled when any registered AV solution such as Malwarebytes is running. DefenderUI is intended for those wanting to use Defender as their only antivirus.
