Cracklock is the leader in the hard task of repairing a bug present in a growing number of sharewares and exploited by a polymorph virus known as the "30th day" virus. As its name implies, the virus manifests itself only once you have run the infected software for a certain period of time; usually 30 days suffice to trigger it. To protect these buggy sharewares from this virus, Cracklock uses techniques that other anti-virus vendors such as McAfee, Norton, Sophos, Thunderbyte and F-Proot seem to ignore.

Also, many developers have used Cracklock in the past to test their software for Y2K compliance. Recently, we have worked hard adapting Cracklock to the well kwown Y10K bug (aka "bug of the year 10000") so that developer can use Cracklock to check that their programs are protected against this ever-threatening bug.

New: Cracklock now has a new feature which solves the "Microsoft Outlook timezone bug"!

Contributing to the translation

The translation tool I once developped (RLGui) is now deprecated. Although it had nice features (for instance it can automatically reuse strings translated for version n of a program to generate translation for version n+1), it required me to do some postprocessing after each translator had finished his job.

From now on, if you want to make a new translation of Cracklock, use any resource editor available on the net (Resource Hacker, Resource Explorer or Microsoft Visual Studio) and edit one of the file in the 'Language' subdirectory of Cracklock (e.g. CLRESUS.DLL for the english version) then save it under another name (e.g. CLRESGE.DLL for german) in the same directory. After restarting Cracklock Manager, the newly created language will appear under the Language menu.
