Replacer, what program do you use to-day?
« on: May 03, 2007, 09:55:28 AM »
Hi malware fighters,

Sometimes the malware fighter has use for the instruments of the old resource hacker to combat malware, not to use it for resource engineering purposes, but to replace files that cannot be handled any other way.. One of these tools was/is replacer: http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/
It safely replaces protected or in-use system files. It has entered the public domain, and is no longer actively maintained. What do other malware fighters use under these circumstances? Is replacer a good tool for the malware fighter's toolbox?

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

To delete files the user can use: Unlocker 1.8.5, mst isusedby 1.5.6.94, MoveOnBoot 1.9.5, KillBox, FileAssassin 1.03.
One of them could 'replace' the files too... but I can't remember which one.
Replacer is a good tool 8)
