Living Room / [Solved] unable to see my dc credits on the forum heading

« on: May 02, 2025, 11:45 AM »

I am unable to see my dc credits on the forum heading.
Earlier I can see it when I need to donate some. Maybe new Forum shift made it invisible.

Is there any link for it now ?

N.A.N.Y. 2022 / NANY 2022 Release - Source Code Watchdog

« on: December 31, 2021, 12:32 PM »

NANY 2022 Entry Information

Application Name	Source Code Watchdog
Version	1.0.0
Short Description	Opens each source code file and looks for a defined string of text. If not found, show an alert for it.
Supported OSes	WinXp and above
Web Page	https://sites.google...e-code-watchdog/home

Description
Well we are facing this problem of malware (many out in the wild) encrypting our source codes and data. Then demanding bitcoins to decrypt them, but never does so, no matter how much we pay.

Now as a programmer our bread and butter are source codes which we write solving myriads of problems of our customer and in return we earn to sustain our family.

The executable we generate or the programs we download can be re-generate or re-downloaded. But the source codes have to be re-written painfully.

Using various backup methods we can ensure the last backup may have working codes, but those too may be just mirage as one of our co-programmer found out. All his hdd, NAS drives etc. were encrypted. Even the backup was of the encrypted files !!

Now we do not know when the malware is going to harm us. Since we have so many source codes of different projects in different folders, it is tough to check all the codes if they are Okay.

The plus point is that all our source codes are in text files and an encrypted source code is more visible (i.e. we can ensure it is Okay or not) than an encrypted executable.

Features
Opens each source code file and looks for a defined string of text. If not found, show an alert for it.
You can define as many string texts as you like. I put my name as header in each source code file, so they can be easily checked. Further you can define the file extensions to be checked like bas, cpp, prg etc.
A alert window will show if any file do not contain the searched text. Two log files are created 'Found.log' and 'NotFound.log' with entries of full file names.

N.A.N.Y. 2021 / NANY 2021 : Battery Icons - Released

« on: November 15, 2020, 02:05 PM »

NANY 2021 Entry Information

Application Name	Battery Icons
Version	1.5.2
Short Description	Displays customized Battery Percentage icons in tray-bar. Shows Tool-Tip at mouse cursor position, when battery percentage falls 25 or below, so that you switch on the power. Also shows Tool-Tip at mouse cursor position, when battery is fully charged, so that you switch off the power.
Supported OSes	WinXp+
Web Page	https://sites.google...ew/batteryicons/home
Download Link	https://sites.google...atteryicons/download

Description
Well the default windows battery icon is white and is very difficult for me to understand how much battery percentage is left. The white battery bar is too small to perceive if it is 40% or  below. I wanted windows to show color coded battery icon but could not find any option, so I created Battery Icons.

Further I found that when I am engrossed in my development, I even miss to see the red battery icon, (my customized one). So I made it to flash.

Also I added a Tool-Tip at mouse cursor position to show when battery level is below 25% or battery is fully charged, so that I can switch on/off the power.

Features

• Colorfull tray battery icons
• Select battery icons for battery level up to 25,50,75 and 100 percentage
• Flash battery icon when battery level less than or equal to 25 percentage
• Show tool-tip at cursor position when battery level less than 25 percentage
• Show tool-tip at cursor position when battery is fully charged

Find And Run Robot / FARR - Suggested Hotkey

General Software Discussion / VirusTotal marking each and every AutoHotKey exe as Virus !!

« on: January 19, 2020, 10:12 AM »

Well for last few days, I am trying different combination of making exe to satisfy VirusTotal.

Refer https://www.donation....msg434859#msg434859 of my NANY 2020 app Apps You Forgot.

No matter how I code or create the exe from AutoHotKey, VirusTotal is always marking 4 to 9 engines detected virus. I checked my earlier NANY apps and they are also marked now more than 10 engines.

Even without any exe packer, they are marked as virus warnings. I even checked many packers, older and newer, for confirmation, but all are marked not okay.

Then I checked ISMONISM https://www.donation....msg434768#msg434768, which Winkie is providing source code also (many thanks to him for this kind gesture), knowing very well that there is no bad code (we can see the codes) and it is non-packed exe. But alas it is also marked 4 engines virus !
https://www.virustot...db0405bba0/detection
I used Winkie's code as it is also written in AutoHotKey and source code is also provided for all to see.

So what should I do ?

I normally mention below in my app's websites and continue, as otherwise I can not create exe in AutoHotKey now.

[Select]

Anti-Virus reports malware (what to do?) :

Delete the exe and it's folder. There is nothing we can do as this is false alert and we do not have resource to request all Anti-Virus companies to update their database. Similar problem is faced by small developers worldwide, check below links,

Nir's Blog

You can see the last scan result of the exe from Virus Total web site and will find that major Anti-Virus report it as clean.

I am adding few features to my app "Apps You Forgot", but devoted more time to understand why VirusTotal  is jumping on simple AutoHotKey codes. Looks like we have to live with it.

General Software Discussion / sandboxie is free and need guidance if anyone using it

« on: September 17, 2019, 08:02 AM »

Well sandboxie became free and I thought to give it a spin.
https://www.sandboxie.com/

After reading help and watching tutorial given, I wanted to run one of my installed app in sandbox to check how it will work when installed in a clean machine.

Now the app reads from "c:\Users\..\Documents\Folder\" a ini file. I expected, in sandbox it will read NOT from the existing on in my C: drive but in sandbox. But it is sill reading from the original ini path.

I tried forced sandbox and also installed in the sand box, but same result. May be I did not understand how to use it.

Win10 Pro 32 bit, version 1903, Os build 18362.356

Please advise how to accomplish it, if anyone had done the same ?

Features

Screenshots





Usage
Installation
To install, extract the zip file in a folder, say "Process Started", and run the "Process Started" exe.

Well, this is what I wanted and I made.
I wanted to keep an eye on the process which runs behind my back. The app still has many options to be made, but it does what I intend it to.

NANY 2019 already has more process lister and watchers, and I was feeling hesitant in adding mine to it.
Also I was not getting enough time to fine tune and polish it, as my earlier NANY apps. Nevertheless I decided in releasing it as I noted it is different in its approach.

Living Room / WhatsApp Backups in Google Drive - Curious

« on: August 23, 2018, 11:28 AM »

I got email that, "Due to a new agreement between WhatsApp and Google, WhatsApp backups will no longer count against Google Drive storage quota."

Good news for many. I tried to look between lines why G is so generous. Found below text in the middle of webpage at "Backing up to Google Drive" https://faq.whatsapp...19/?category=5245251

"Important: Media and messages you back up aren't protected by WhatsApp end-to-end encryption while in Google Drive."

Though, I feel, it should have been the first line at top and highlighted. So now Facebook (the parent) and Google both can use the user data without any legal obligation.
