About a week ago, I started thinking about how daunting it was to go through the list of hundreds of "Services" looking for those that might be malware/unwanted programs. Whether you use the control panel or msconfig, neither one gives you the option to seperate hardware related services from software ones (and neither one shows you all services).

All services have a "Type" description that they could be filtered by so I decided that EzPcFix should be able to utilize this and that's what I did in this release.

Here's the changelog:

Quote

***  version 1.0.0.15 released 7/8/2005  ***

I restructured the "Services" function to filter the services by type.  Now you don't have to scroll through
100 hardware related services if you're only looking for software related ones. Here's a list and description
of each type:

Adapter  -  A service for a hardware device that requires its own driver.
FileSystemDriver  -  A file system driver, which is also a Kernel device driver.
InteractiveProcess  -  A service that can communicate with the desktop.
KernelDriver  -  A Kernel device driver such as a hard disk or other low-level hardware device driver.
RecognizerDriver  -  A file system driver used during startup to determine the file systems present on the system.
Win32OwnProcess  -  A Win32 program that can be started by the Service Controller and that obeys the service control protocol. This type of Win32 service runs in a process by itself.
Win32ShareProcess  -  A Win32 service that can share a process with other Win32 services.

It's not much of a changelog but after considering the amount of time that this feature can save you, I thought it was well worth it to make a new release.

great job on the new version... I love the fact i can easily look through NON-Microsoft services. I usually use msconfig to do this, but now its in an easy place on my favorite ubcd tool...
