Kill Update Versions Save

This new release supports:

• Allowing Windows Defender to update its signature base.
• Disable two more services related to updates.

Version v1.0.91 was suspicious for the Windows malware detector, and it would consume a lot of CPU power for no reason. This has been fixed.

I have added support for ZombifyMe. This will restart kill-Update if it crashes.

Bugged version.

This version includes more logs and an attempt to fix issue #5 with an additional timer.

This release contains the following changes:

• Added more logs to the timer callback. This significantly increases the size of the log file (x7).
• Handle the case of a system call returning null (although it should never do that).
• Changed the timer to run every 15 seconds instead of 10s, to know if a crash depends on the number of callbacks executed.
• The program no longer maintains a key to the registry, but renews the key every callback.

This version now includes logging activity to a file. This is optional.

• Create a text file called settings.txt in the same folder as the program.
• In this file, add a line with the path to the log file. You can choose the destination folder and file name.
• Start the program. This should immediately add a few lines to the log file.

If you have an issue with this program, you can add the log file to your bug report.

This version is pretty much the same as the previous one, with a digital certificate renewed (valid to April 2021).

This version has the same features than the previous version, but has been changed to use a plugin technology and to use Costura/Fody to merge assemblies. As a result, you only need the download one file, and settings have been reset.

Edit (May 29th 2019): added a 32-bits binary for the 32-bits version of Windows 10.

This version stops a running service, even if already disabled (it looks like you can start a disabled service).
