Unlocker itself is a legitimate utility, I have been using it ever since it came out.
However, it is the user's responsibility to uncheck PUP opt-ins during the software's installation.

Nowadays there is no support for "Kaspersky Protection" add-on of FireFox x64... and he said a developer Kaspersky in the near future They will abandon add-ons browsers dependency...

 

[shukla44]

@shukla44 If you would like to try a x64 Firefox variant I would recommend Cyberfox by far.
It's been my favorite browser ever since I first tried it. Also, all Firefox add-ons should be supported by it.

I don't think Kaspersky protection extension is compatible with Cyberfox. Is it?

For now, I am very happy with 32-bit Firefox, and for the future, i don't know, i might consider Cyberfox or FF 64-bit.

I am using unlocker since i had XP. I never found delta toolbar integrated. Plus I already have unchecky to deal with these kinds of things.

If you want an extra file unlocker, check out this one:
LockHunter

It is just as effective as Unlocker, but it also incorporates additional useful functions (e.g. view the processes and DLL handles locking a file, or set a file to be deleted on next reboot).

And of course, there is a multitude of tools for this purpose (e.g. FileASSASSIN by Malwarebytes) but there is no need to include all of them at once.

I have used it. Didn't like it much than unlocker. Unlocker also has those functions, as i have used them.

I know that there are many tools that provide same functionality but can't replace unlocker.

If you move to windows 10 however, you can say goodbye to Unlocker.

Iobit Unlocker also is decent, if you wish to experiment.

Sorry, but I'm not moving to Win10. Sticking to 7 till the end then linux.
I don't use iobit software since i used advanced system care. Plus not compatible with Kaspersky (Just like tuneup utilities).

Forgot to add - Recuva & VT uploader.

Recuva is a great tool in its field and VirusTotal Uploader gives you a solid opinion on whether a suspicious file is malicious or not. Great utilities!

Also consider herdProtect as a second opinion scanner.
Small size, fully portable, and also has a great "Examine File" or "Examine Process" function to help with analyzing the behavior of executables.

herdProtect is an amazing scanner...
If Malwarebytes Anti-Malware wasn't so versatile in its functions (removal, etc), then herdProtect could easily replace it as a second opinion scanner.

Although, when it comes to on-demand scanners, the more the merrier!

Great update! I hope you use RollBack Rx to the full extent of its well-tested and proven capabilities! (and congratulations on winning the giveaway, for that matter! )

Thanks. Installing it now....

Installed it. Liking it so far. Created snapshots, did a full scan with kaspersky, didn't had any conflicts for now.
Hoping Kaspersky wouldn't interfere with restoring from snapshots either.
