xp-AntiSpy 3.96-5

Version 3.96-5 -final- is now ready to be downloaded.

Thanks to all the people that helped me a lot by sending feedback on the previous beta versions!

Relating to the last beta version, i basically changed the behaviour when running on Vista.
So far, when running the xp-AntiSpy on Vista it automatically started requiering administrative rights, you recognize that by the dialog thats pops up and asks for your permission. This is part of Windows Vista and is called User Account Control. I decided that it's better to let the xp-AntiSpy start with normal user privilleges, and get administrative rights only when it's needed.

So if you just want to check if every setting is in sync with the profile, you do not need to be administrator to do that.

 

If you start the xp-AntiSpy, all the settings that need admisitrative rights will have a little overlay icon in the shape of a lock. This idicates that this setting is readable, but not changeable.

 

If you want to change a setting which needs administrative rights, you can restart the xp-AntiSpy with the required permission by clicking 'Special->Administrative mode' in the menu bar.

Hacked

This site has just been defaced by a group named 'Spygrup'. Luckily i realized it very soon and was able to restore every change made.
Those dudes went in by replacing a special file in my Joomla distribution and thus covering the whole site.
They didn't damage anything else and no data got lost.
I reported this incident to my web space provider and hope they can find the security hole by checking the logs.

Well, here's a screenshot of the website as it was defaced:

By the way, the final version of the xp-AntiSpy compatible with Windows Vista is comming very soon.

xp/Vista-AntiSpy 3.96-5 beta 3

The xp-AntiSpy was started without administrative rights, thats why some settings which need administrative rights hasn’t been shown.
This and some other little fixes now lead to the beta 3 version.
Thanks for your feedback so far!!
