I was using this application - TyperTask 1.13 for quite some time, but all of a sudden Avast! reported it as malware. I performed a check at VirusTotal (http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=de52f4702dd0548b69524cf90ed109b94459efcf9eb23ef326f78fa522c534f5-1286504590) and almost half the Antivirus Programs detect it as malware too. I wodner whether this is a false positive or not, the program looks like a harmless autotext notepad-like tool. I will be grateful if anyone can disclose the truth about TyperTask.

TyperTask home page is no longer available at the Publisher's site and there is no e-mail available to contact the authors of this application. This sequence of coinsidences seems very suspicious. So I replaced TyperTask with Autotext (http://www.autotext-software.com/, which has the same functionality.

I submitted the TyperTask executable to Avast! via mail and I will quote a line of their reply
"False positive will be fixed in next VPS update."
For me the matter is resolved- False Positive. I was misled because 20 out of 43 Antivirus application detected TyperTask as malware. Yet TyperTask cannot be downloaded from the Publisher's site.

Reminds me of Hoekey:

TyperTask is slightly larger by 30kb, but seems to be good. Need to give this a testdrive!

Looks like the developers have abandoned this title as well. I found a copy here: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/TyperTask-Download-164715.html

I've finally had a chance to play with this program and I love it. It's going to make sending those cover letters a breeze.

Mike, what do you mean? His free software is here:

i havent tried this yet, but the author also makes TinyTask and that's really good, it records mouse and keyboard and plays it back for automation of events. Gives me some confidence that this program is maybe ok too.

A powerful and useful program for such a tiny download. The simple appearing interface is really misleading. Easy to use and great for automating tasks quickly. Also, the Custom Lists feature is handy for easy launching of apps and documents.

Appears to be a limit to the number of characters that can comprise a Custom List. It freezes/hangs up whenever a custom list exceeds 214 or so total characters. Also, custom lists are automatically numbered, but don't display a number after the 9th item. Haven't used it enough to see if there are other limitations. Still a useful program though.

If TyperTask doesn't quite suit your needs for some reason you should try AutoHotkey:

It is very similar in how it works and AutoHotkey is far more powerful than TyperTask.

I use both AutoHotkey and Autoit and they are great apps. TyperTask's advantage is its small size. I'm just pointing out some limitations. It would be unrealistic to expect the power and versatility of AHK or AI in a 52k package.

it doesn't write letter "i". How can this be?

I'm explaining my issue above. For example, When I write "hth", program must write "Hope this helps!". But it writes "Hope ths helps!" (no lower i) No trouble with upper İ and other letters. only lower i. I can't make it write lower i. I'm using Windows 7 x64 Turkish.

@veyselcelik: I've been using TyperTask for about a year and have never had problems with missing letters. Perhaps a problem with the rules?
I can replicate your issue if I add this rule:
"i="
(with no quotes)

@lautrepay, I just downloaded and type hth. and it write Hope ths helps! (with no). it's own example rule, so i didn't write any rules. I guess it is about my windows' language.
