Note: This program will check SVCHOST.EXE's virtual memory usage, and if it is not within specific boundaries the program will say you have a virus. This may not be the case, depending on your page file (virtual memory) size, physical memory available, and services running. It's a poor metric to use for virus checking.

If you lack the credentials to play these files or their remote management services have gone offline, these files are just taking up space.

I believe if you look at the Stick-It! source code you will see that I use almost that exact code. But Stick-It! is nice and shiny, and has audio visual effects! Besides, most people do not use AutoHotkey and releasing it as a compiled exe greatly broadens the potential user base. |
