The ZIPs of both are already available in the home updater, but they are portables.

Thanks Omar but the solution could be not to take the exe version but the .zip version that is adware-free.

Please don't distribute adware through PMPC

Hello there,

The current CrystalDiskInfo and CrystalDiskMark versions proposed by PatchMyPC Home (PMPH) contain adwares.

In the "https://patchmypc.com/freeupdater/definitions/definitions.xml" list used by PMPH, you can see this :

Code Select Expand

<CrystalDiskInfoDownload>https://phoenixnap.dl.sourceforge.net/project/crystaldiskinfo/9.7.0/CrystalDiskInfo9_7_0Ads.exe?viasf=1</CrystalDiskInfoDownload>
<CrystalDiskMarkDownload>https://yer.dl.sourceforge.net/project/crystaldiskmark/9.0.1/CrystalDiskMark9_0_1Ads.exe?viasf=1</CrystalDiskMarkDownload>
Can you see the "Ads.exe" at the end of the files ? It's related to an with-adware version of Crystal tools.

It is:
- documented there: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/is-crystaldiskinfo-still-safe.3882065/
- reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1m197hs/psa_crystaldiskinfo_crystaldiskmark_now_embeds/


Can PMPH propose the adware-free versions of each of Crystal tool ?

Thank you, and keep up the good work !

Downloaded the exact same on both Desktop and Laptop. Old versions worked perfect but New Version doesn't work on Laptop. Works perfect on my Desktop but not the Laptop. Tried complete uninstalling and reinstalling even with Revo Uninstallaion getting all the remnants out, reinstalled and it's doing the same. Wish I had back the old system on the laptop.

We are using the MSI set to install per-system by adding the following to the command line:

REBOOT=ReallySuppress MSIINSTALLPERUSER=0

The publisher successfully downloaded the file late yesterday without any issues so I think we are all set!

Hi @msysadmin, I just downloaded the Citrix Workspace 25.3.10.69 installer and calculated its hash/digest. For me, it matches the one we have in our catalog. Is this still an issue for you?

I was curious if the PatchMyPC version of Arduino is running as system or user, and so if it installs to user\appdata or to Program Files. Thanks.
