>>>>>Why would creator or distributor of ReFox be willing to do something about it. It's a matter of $$$. You'll probably buy it out of frustration so in the end everybody will be happy. Them because of $$$ and you because or your new acquired protection (Even if you're terribly frustrated about it).

>>>>I can only speak for myself, but I will not quit my day job distributing Refox. The profit margins are very minimal. And there aren't many people willing to buy Refox, but mostly they want to recover their code, which would mean using Refox once, which does not warrant the purchase of Refox.

>>>The profit margin should be approx. 30 percent of the price for you? It is an expensive tool, so the margin per sold copy is quite high. I guess, you are saying here that it is not sold often times and that totalled margins are therefore low. Tip: Perhaps a version can be created that decompiles only one time, for a lower price. Having given this advice, I of course still plea for a free utility that enables us to make an application insensitieve to decompilation with Refox.

>I have downloaded and tried it. An ocx is missing, perhaps I need to register first. So I registered. Don't know whether that requires payment. It is all in Indonesian. How did you find this program? Should we invite the maker to introduce it here?

It's freeware and mine seems to work (no OCX problem). I registered mine before I tried to use it so I don't know if that is an issue or not.
As far as how I found out about the program...I keep up to date on deompliers/hacks and such and simply ran accross it a few weeks ago during my weekly internet hunt for such things.
Yes, I think we should invite the maker to introduce it here - and hopefully get him to put it in the downloads section. Nice to have something avail for free that would keep people from having to spend $400 on refox just to protect their apps from refox (which I consider mafia-style extorsion tactics)...
I haven't had time to mess with this thing yet other than run it on a vfp.exe then try to open in refox just to verify it worked - so I don't know exactly what's happening to the exe's yet - but - like I said - on the surface it seems to do what it says...
