Every so often, we'll receive a Google alert which has a link to HerdProtect or TotalVirus with a page merrily listing one of Cyotek's executable files are being a virus. I'll duly check these pages only to discover that while it might be one of our files (or a file with the same version information), it has been modified, renamed and then dumped in one of the Windows system folders attempting to masquerade as another component. This sort of thing isn't really great advertising for Cyotek, so I thought I would write this post reminding users to take caution when downloading files and to use common sense, along with outlining how you can check if the files are valid.

This post describes improvements to effect configuration dialogs which allow this, and how I've killed off the Optimize Image dialog in favour of easier to use commands.

One of the biggest sources of support requests for [WebCopy](/cyotek-webcopy) are to do with posting forms, and WebCopy's ongoing inability to handle dynamic values. Thankfully, with WebCopy 1.0.10.0 this issue has finally been resolved as we have introduced a variety of improvements with forms, including value merging and a new tool to capture form data.

If you use Cyotek's [Color Palette Editor](/cyotek-palette-editor) to create palettes that are displayed on community sites such as forums, then it can be handy to display a preview of the palette. A new feature in the Palette Editor can now produce these images for you as this post briefly describes.
