DCOMbobulator (ver 2.01) Abandoned Freeware Tool to assist in deactivating MicroSoft Windows DCOM service. "DCOMbobulator allows any Windows user to easily verify the effectiveness of Microsoft's recent critical DCOM patch. Confirmed reports have demonstrated that the patch is not always effective in eliminating DCOM's remote exploit vulnerability. But more importantly, since DCOM is a virtually unused and unneeded facility, the DCOMbobulator allows any Windows user to easily disable DCOM for significantly greater security." CAUTION: If you use the built-in Windows Disk Defragmenter utility, you will need to keep the "DCOM server Process Launcher" running (note that this process will start "Shell Hardware Detection").
