From the stsrt, I was happy with AutoPatcher. However, now it has completely messed up my whole system, including "System Restore", so I cannot undo the many problems AutoPatcher has now created. Isn't irresponsible not to have a backup or failsafe built into the program, in case anything does go wrong?

@Vanillaman

Sorry to hear you are having troubles with AutoPatcher, if as you have stated, you are having many problems, I would suggest
you quit using the software.

You offer zero information in your post that would allow for a helpful diagnosis of what has happened to your system, but outside
the registry tweaks, for the most part AutoPatcher is only a GUI (graphical user interface) that allows for a silent install w/ the
ability to suppress a reboot until all the selected updates have been installed.

If you chose to followup, please explain what updates you have installed, how you installed them, and how exactly this has caused
problems for your system. If you are going to make a claim like yours, that's fine, but pleases offer details so somebody can offer
explicit help.

BTW, your idea of backing up or restoring is a good one, AutoPatcher does not have that feature therefore it is YOUR responsibility
to backup your system.

Well, judging by your patronising tone, I wouldn't want any help from a ###### like you. If you are supposed to be any kind of representation for the software, you're an arrogant, incompetent fool, trying to shift the blame for your product onto customers. If you had any kind of brain, you'd be able to notice logic when you see it. Obviously, I could go through my registry and re-edit it, but with your head so far up your arse, you've completely missed the point. Do you really expect anyone to sit down and list all the problems it caused, when it's totally irrelevant. But, like I said, if you're too stupid to miss the point, I'm wasting my time. Now, ###### off and take your attitude somewhere else pal.

wow... i believe that my bad word list was good enough this time. my friend, "system restore" feature is an thing that the OS has, unless you have disabled that. besides that, if you right-click any module, you will find an "uninstall", that will do almost the same

by now, you will have about 7 days to learn about respect people and not say badwords in here

I think this guy is a troll, his/her reputation follows em', let me explain.

About an hour after I posted someone emailed me and asked if I had read the response from the OP, so I came here, read it,
and at first I felt bad, maybe I had been rude. Well, hold on just a minute, apparently this person has a reputation for this kind
of nonsense. I was emailed again, with a few interesting links. I was amazed at what I read - can you say 'pattern of behavior'!

First, read Here! the review this person gave AutoPatcher on Nov. 22, 2009

Broke 'Search', 'Dangerous', 'No Support'. Is this clown for real, I have 700+ posts, maybe 30 are asking for help, the rest offering
it. This is the same for everyone here, all we do is offer support. BTW, this was the same day the OP registered at AutoPatcher.

Interestingly, Cristiano did offer help, of course he was a bit miffed because of the OP's choice of words, read the exchange Here!

Also, the OP started a thread at cnet about a malware, virus issue - twice. Hmm, I find it interesting the problem was related to
'system restore'. The OP has had multiple issues with malware/viruses, yet decides to come here again and blame AutoPatcher
for the problem of a failed 'system restore' instead of his own inability to keep his machine clean. You can see for yourself by
reading Here!. Notice post #3 - "The last time this happened". The latest was less than 2 months ago.

This user has chronic issues with technical things and regularly blasts tech support, software developers, HP, etc and never points
any fingers his way - IT guy, yeah sure. If you read the OP's many posts/reviews at cnet, it seems the OP has all sorts of issues with
all things tech, and for some unknown reason always calls names - here's an example. Notice: Stupid, Idiots, Devious, and Fake.

I'm fed up with Firefox and the stupid, immature responses from idiots who attack you for criticising it. I've been involved with IT since
1993, and my students in the IT suite and library are constantly complaining about Firefox. It always crashes, freezes, its excruciatingly
slow and often refuses to respond. It loads multiple tabs each time and update or add-on is updated, despite numerous tweaking, the
number of tabs keep increasing on start up. The list goes on and on. Mozilla are devious in their so-called support, as they offer multiple
options but avoid direct contact. Even their chat support is "Fake" as it is never open. The Mozilla refusal to engage with customers speaks
for itself.

To bring this to a close, here are a few examples of other cnet users calling the OP out for misinformation and chronic negative reviews
or opinions. This is regarding the OP's review of Firefox 3.5.7 and FBackup 4.4 - follow the links if interested

...Firefox

reply by: zendogs on February 4, 2010
I think you're the one who is biased and fake. Do you even try the software you pan? As a web developer, I much prefer Firefox. It's fast,
reliable and so many tools that help me in my work.

You're a king pratt Stop moaning and use IE then!

P.S. So many other people are fed up with your constant negative reviews, about all the software you download and use.

reply by: mark bevan on January 19, 2010
Please Vanillaman, go and bury your head in the sand somewhere! About 90% of all your reviews are negative (not just reviews about Firefox,
but all software) you claim to be an IT expert, but you constantly have problems with Firefox. Don't use it! Use IE8 instead, but you were
slating that in the past too! Every time you write the same trash, and then slag people off after with your rude comments. All you are trying
to do is provoke a reaction, and get yourself some attention. You always say CNET is so bad, use Filehippo or Majorgeek for your future downloads.

Vanillaman ..... More talk of "fake" positive reviews? Oh please, will you ever stop with that nonsense? It has grown old. Why does Firefox run
so slowly on your computer? Don't you feed the hamsters? Firefox 3.5.7 runs stable and lightning fast on my machine, and I am not the only one.
Perhaps you're just one of those people who are perpetually challenged by all things technical. Do you have a problem with the washing machine too?

...FBackup

reply by: xispto on January 25, 2010
Come on, Vanillaman! What do you want from a backup program? Do you know what a backup is? Did you ever needed a backup? Can you understand
how the program works? I tried it, and I find it really useful as a great job.

reply by: Softland on January 22, 2010
FBackup doesn't copy from one local drive to another, it lets you backup automatically to external/removable drives (such as usb enclosures for
instance) or network locations. So if your drive fails you can easily restore from the destination drive.

And it does more just copying, it lets you do backups automatically (meaning you configure it to run periodically and it will do the backup without
your intervention), it backs the files up by compressing them (if you don't want it to create exact copies), it backs up open files (which you cannot
do by simply copying/pasting since the file is in use) and much more. If you don't understand how a backup application works and what it does then
you shouldn't add pointless comments (I also see in your profile that probably 90% of your reviews are 1-star review, so that says something about
your character).

The point of all this information is - please don't be like this user Vanillaman = Ignore

[Cristiano]

good to know. next time, the ability to post something will not be restored in 7 days. seems impressive that someone that claims be working with computers since 1993 (big deal, by the way. this don't impress no one) didn't learned yet about keep his own machine safe. you know, since always, certain people say "jesus saves". move that to info and the same thing applies: do backups, create system restore points, etc. but for sure, one thing doesn't work: offend people that tries to help.
