Hello,

Thanks!

I think we have credited you in the link. Since you mentioned you have moved to new website, we are updating the link.
Not really actually, only the download link is directing to our official website. But that’s okay for now, since you haven’t reuploaded it without authorization.

It sounds bizarre
If you check the most popular AVs, they havent mentioned any viruses. The ones listed are not even the best AVs available, may be false positive.
It’s an false positive, if you have downloaded it from the official/authorized mirrors.
Also, this is the setup executable – we’ve made the setup with Inno Setup 5, an open-source setup creator. Don’t worry, it’s an false positive.
Why using a exe when you can use native windows tools ?
Here a simple bat to stop services, remove failing windows update cache, and run a detection :
Timeout 15
cd /d %windir%\system32
net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
rmdir /S /Q %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
Del “%windir%\WindowsUpdate.log”
timeout 10
net start bits
net start wuauserv
echo OK > c:\Temp\resetWU.OK
timeout 10
c:\Windows\System32\wuauclt.exe /DetectNow
timeout 180
c:\Windows\System32\wuauclt.exe /r /reportNow
Our application does more just than this, and we are also releasing a brand new update soon with more Features/functions to fix Windows Update.
