About NirSoft Freeware

My 指名する is Nir Sofer, and I'm experienced developer with 広範囲にわたる knowledge in C++, .NET 枠組み, Windows API, and 逆転する工学 of undocumented binary 判型s and encryption algorithms.
NirSoft is a Web 場所／位置 of one man. In NirSoft, there is no CTO or CEO, there is no 長官, there is no 開発 team, and there are no rented offices. The entire Web 場所／位置 and all the 公共事業（料金）／有用性s that you can find here were developed by me, and only by me. NirSoft is not a 十分な-time 職業, but I use all my 解放する／自由な time to 持続する and develop this Web 場所／位置. My time for 持続するing this Web 場所／位置 is used for 追加するing new 道具s, 追加するing features to 存在するing 公共事業（料金）／有用性s, 直す／買収する，八百長をするing bugs, and answering to emails that I receive (井戸／弁護士席... at least for some of them).

Web 場所／位置指名する
As you probably guessed, the 指名する 'NirSoft' is the combination of my given 指名する - 'Nir' and the prefix of the word 'ソフトウェア'. However, there is another 推論する／理由 for choosing this 指名する: My 十分な指名する is 'Nir Sofer', so 除去するing the 'er' letters and 追加するing the 't' letter instead, also gives the same result - NirSoft.

A Little History...
NirSoft Web 場所／位置 was 初めは in created in 2001 as a personal Web 場所／位置 which 供給するd a few 公共事業（料金）／有用性s that I developed for my own use. In the beginning, NirSoft was hosted in some "解放する／自由な" Web hosting services like Tripod and multiservers.com
Unfortunately, these "解放する／自由な" Web 場所／位置s produced a fair 量 of annoying popup 広告s and some of them even tried to 任命する／導入する unwanted Spywares on the computer of the 場所／位置訪問者s. Also, after my 場所／位置 became pretty popular, they 無能にするd my hosting account because I used too much 資源s on their server.

In August 2004, after 苦しむing from all these 解放する／自由な services, I decided to 購入（する） a domain for my 場所／位置 (nirsoft.逮捕する) and host it in a 非，不，無-解放する／自由な hosting service, in order make my Web 場所／位置 more reliable, friendly and 安全な・保証するd. In the days that I started with nirsoft.逮捕する domain, my 場所／位置 was already popular more than an 普通の／平均（する） Web 場所／位置, with more than 90,000 unique 訪問者s and 1.5 million 攻撃する，衝突するs in a month. The most popular 公共事業（料金）／有用性s in these days were IPNetInfo, Volumouse, MessenPass, and 保護するd 貯蔵 PassView. All these 公共事業（料金）／有用性s are still very popular even today.

During the last 4 years, I 追加するd more and more 公共事業（料金）／有用性s to my Web 場所／位置, and today it 含む／封じ込めるs more than 100 公共事業（料金）／有用性s. As I 追加するd more 公共事業（料金）／有用性s, the Web 場所／位置 traffic was also 徐々に増加するd, and today (May 2008) NirSoft Web 場所／位置 have more than 850,000 unique 訪問者s and 13.5 million 攻撃する，衝突するs in a month.
During these years, I also made some changes in the 公共事業（料金）／有用性s （許可，名誉などを）与えるing the 使用者s requests. For example - In the beginning, all 公共事業（料金）／有用性s saved the settings into a Registry 重要な under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ソフトウェア\NirSoft. But after many 使用者s complained about the 重要なs that I 追加するd to the Registry, I decided to save the settings into a とじ込み／提出する, and today most of the 公共事業（料金）／有用性s save the settings into a .cfg とじ込み／提出する位置を示すd in the same folder of the .exe とじ込み／提出する. This means that my 公共事業（料金）／有用性s can be used 直接／まっすぐに from a USB Flash 運動, without leaving any traces in the computer itself.

During these years, I also developed a unique translation system that automatically 許すs any simple 使用者 to easily translate my 道具s to another language. Today, the most popular 公共事業（料金）／有用性s have translations to more than 20 languages, all of them were created by volunteers from around the world.

In the last year, I also 追加するd a 64-bit (x64) build for some of my 公共事業（料金）／有用性s, and for some other 公共事業（料金）／有用性s I 追加するd separated Unicode download (For good multilingual support) and 非，不，無-Unicode download (for Windows 98/ME 使用者s). I also 直す／買収する，八百長をするd most of my 公共事業（料金）／有用性s to work 適切に under Windows Vista.

"誤った肯定的な" 問題／発行するs
As my Web 場所／位置 became more popular, a very annoying problem started to appear frequently: "誤った肯定的な" 警報s in AntiVirus ソフトウェア. This means that AntiVirus/AntiSpyware programs （悪事，秘密などを）発見する my 公共事業（料金）／有用性s as 感染させるd with ウイルス/Trojan/Spyware while my 公共事業（料金）／有用性s are clean from any malicious code. Each time that a popular AntiVirus ソフトウェア begins to （悪事，秘密などを）発見する one of my 公共事業（料金）／有用性s as ウイルス or Trojan, my email is flooded with messages from worried people that think my Web 場所／位置 is 感染させるd with ウイルスs. Some of them even 非難する me that I spread ウイルスs through my Web 場所／位置. But the truth is that I have never had any ウイルス/Trojan/Spyware in my 道具s. All the 警報s and 警告s 陳列する，発揮するd by the AntiVirus programs regarding my 公共事業（料金）／有用性s are 簡単に wrong, and 原因（となる） a 普及した panic without a 推論する／理由.

予定 to the large 量 of "誤った肯定的な" 警報s, I created a special Web page that 陳列する，発揮するs the major "誤った肯定的な" problems with NirSoft 公共事業（料金）／有用性s: 誤った肯定的な報告（する）／憶測s

This Web page is also message to all Antivirus companies that they must 改善する the 質 and the reliability of their ウイルス（犯罪，病気などの）発見機械装置.
