    Hazar,

    Thanks for updating/tweaking the program. I believe a lot of people in this thread trust your work. I, for one, hope you reconsider and continue development of your program.

    Whatever you do, I wish you the best.

    LoL

    OK, so I downloaded the file again from your 1st post link. This time there was a ReadMe.txt file in there, whereas before I don't remember seeing one. Likewise, the filesize was slightly different when I extracted RemoveWAT and wrote over the other file. So either someone uploaded a new version in the last 30 minutes, or there's something beyond my understanding at work.

    I converted the time back to today's date and restored WAT. The restoration worked within a few seconds and asked to reboot. When I clicked OK, it gave me a blank window for about 5-10 minutes. Figuring it already said it was done, I Ctrl+Alt+Del to logoff and restart. When it came up, I got a "not genuine" warning.

    I then reapplied RemoveWAT (the title said it was 2.1.2). The first time I tried, it completed in a couple of seconds. This time it took about a minute. When I OK'd the reboot, it again gave me a blank screen, so I manually rebooted. This time, I did not get the "not genuine" warning.

    I changed the date to Oct 11, 2010 and so far I haven't seen the watermark. Before, it showed up within a couple of minutes, but it's now been a good 15 or so...

    It's important you are running that version.

    Hazar,

    I ran v2.1.3 just now. What I noticed with the last couple of versions is, the computer doesn't automatically reboot when you press OK. I waited awhile and just rebooted it myself.

    Ok...Just restored WAT and installed the 2.1.3 version. I had to manually reboot after the restoration and installation, but everything appears to have worked fine.

    Just curious: Why is it "important am running that version"? Your proclamation sounded a bit ominous. :)

    Also, is it ok to update windows and include the "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64"?

    When you press OK it should log off your computer. Never mind :)

    There were some serious code changes in that build thats all

    They're cracked files which are being flagged by your AV. Use a better antivirus!
