Which new version? MWSnap? App is really ancient…

If you got something from non-official site that claims to be newer version than listed there – it it very likely to be a trojan indeed.

I had it checked out with VirusTotal Uploader and it came back that there is a 4.7% chance that the new version has a keylogger or other virus in it… anybody confirm or deny?

Well, his site is kept alive, even if not updated on some years.

I personally think that Mirek (or whatever his name is) died years ago…he could really have something huge if he updated MWSnap a little.

Tried that one yesterday. Lacks zoom, I like to see precisely where I start and with my poor eyesight that takes some magnifying.

And not that it matters much, but still… that app has some crazy memory consumption. :)

You can try Greenshot (http://greenshot.sourceforge.net/) is quite similar with MWSnap.

I know. I just decided its time to look for alternatives. :) PicPick didn’t get some functions by now and staying on old version is essentially discarding those for good.

I used old FSCapture a lot, but it is also non-commercial use only btw.

I’ve looked through some modern apps yesterday, but so far nothing I really like. :(

Clarification: I was referring to the old free version of Picpick in my first line and not MWSnap which itself is old.

You could always use the old version. Usually they’ll be good enough for the job for years. I did the same with the old free version of Faststone capture, which was the only one among several other screenshot captors I tried which managed to capture Rainmeter widgets on the desktop.I did not try Picpicks and am not sure whether I tried MWSnap.
