Automagically repairs a boot loader.

This is something I wish I had/knew about a long time ago. I’ve had bootloader misadventures that really stressed me out.

I’ll accept this, even though it uses systemd.

A notepad.exe replacement in 6,144 bytes.

Particularly notable because its configuration is done through an external program which directly modifies the THEGUN.EXE binary.

I tossed this in with my portable applications. It’s tiny, and I figure it’s one of those “just in case” sort of applications.

I’ve been using this for a hell of a long time.

A malware scanner.

Mostly-meh.

Their portable scanner is still just an installer.
It found an Wajam plugin from Magic Camera, presumably installed for either Internet Explorer or Edge.
- During scanning, it claims to have found infected files, but those files were neither reported at the end of its scan nor found in its quarantine. What gives?

The irony of not having an icon.
