We have released a small update to WindowFX 5 today.  WindowFX is a unique program that allows users to animate windows and start menus with slick animations and effects. No other program gives you so many polished and reliable window enhancement capabilities including; animations, window resizing options and movement customizations.

This update addresses issues people were having on unloading.

If you have WindowFX 5 installed, you will need to uninstall via Stardock Central first.  You can also grab the installer from download.stardock.com which will also prompt you to remove the older version.

WindowFX is free to use with the option to upgrade to an unlimited suite of window and start menu animations available for $9.95 at www.stardock.com/products/windowfx.

Well, excuse me for being an idiot and wanting to know if I have the latest version of the software that I paid for installed on my machine. It seems like a simple request is met with hostility and frankly I am tired of it. Not only this unknown update but my CFX is hosed as well until that update is fixed. I love Stardocks stuff but the constant problems with updating is getting old. Perhaps a version # and date of the DLL that is being replaced would go a long way to clear up any confusion.

And to think Norton Utilities were the bees knees back in the day.  What a waste of a great pedigree.

If you right click on wfx4.dll, wfx4_64.dll or WindowFXConfig.exe you should see that the signing date on the digital signatures tab is 18th June 2012 for the update.

I worked as a technical support representative for many  many years at a call center, and I can tell you from personal experience that approx. 75% of the issues I encountered with customer problems was due to the Norton /Symantic software they had installed on their PC. Most of those problems evaporated once the Norton software was removed. This is cold hard fact.

I've had good luck with MS Security Essentials. Low overhead, easy to use and definitions are updated twice a day. Rarely any false positives.

Ditto. Norton and Avast will flag my Gadgets as malware everytime.

I got a promotion!  WooHoo!

Thanks Neil, I was able to sort out the problem with your help.

As for Norton's Internet Security, I got a free years worth of it for 3 machines when I bought my laptop. It expires in a couple months so I'll probably end up going back to MS Security Essentials.

In the past I've had bad experiences with Norton's AV but this is the first false positive I've had with this version. It's been pretty good otherwise but If I had to pay for it, I would look elsewhere for protection.
