as usual i steamed in with both feet…the software works great BUT a couple of things to bear in mind
1) there is no info on how to reverse the process….
it’s actually not too tricky …if you go to the folders/files you optimized you will see that all original files have the last character of the file suffix replaced with a ~…so its a simple matter of renaming the compressed files …
ren*.dll *.dllcomp
and then renaming the backups
ren *.dl~ *.dll
do the same for exes and other renamed files….
2) Huge WARNING…maybe i am a bit of a donkey but i thought i would apply upx to all of the auto load progs…SILLY ME…outcome right mouse explore causes a crash and dr watson and killed my virus stuff…SO DONT APPLY UPX to Antivirus, Spyware, Firewall (Specifically AVIRA, Threatfire, and PC TOOL Firewall +)…I did and they got screwed …i fixed it by a combination of uninstalls and the renaming trick(?) above
Hope this helps and saves some one some grief….
there are alternative free upx front ends
