-CLI: Changed the default output for update status check from displaying inside terminal window to a msgbox instead

-GLOBAL: Updated Trend Micro update starting number to 661, which is currently the newest trigger for definitions update link. This number will auto increment to the newest automatically when running update script
-GUI: The current GUI (Graphic User Interface) is still in early ALPHA stage and will be on hold until more time can be devoted to it. The project is currently written in C#, but I will probably re-write from scratch or re-code in C++
-CLI: The current CLI (Command Line Interface) is very stable and this will be the last BETA release.

v0.7.8
-*** QUICKFIX RELEASE ***
-GLOBAL: The "OllyDBG' forensics module has been updated to a barebones clean version after receiving false positives from some antivirus. OllyDBG is a Windows debugging tool, therefore some of its plugins can be considered malicious if in the wrong hands. The new module has been uploaded to VirusTotal and the scan is now clean. Just to be clear, the OllyDBG app is not malicious in itself and is an indispensable tool in malware research ;)
-GLOBAL: Updated definitions for all compatible portable malware scanners
-GLOBAL: Updated Panda Antivirus module to use new v2.1 Framework
-GUI: Added 2 new slide out options in Auto Mode for selecting which scanners and loop scripts to run before clicking the big launch button
-GUI: Added themes and color options to main toolbar for a small amount of customizing the overall look
v0.7.7

v0.6.4
-Updated definitions for all compatible portable malware scanners
-Added defragmentation of main hard drive to Auto Mode using WinContig (thanks Chad!). It will run silently and unattended after scanners are complete
-Updated SuperAntiSpyware core files in module to v6.0.1146. Also fully supports portable mode with the new UI, for both x86 and x64 scanners

-Fixed "detectme" file error in bitdefender module for Auto Mode ONLY

-Cleaned up old "sav32cli" files in Sophos module. Only the original EXE and DLL files were left and archived in "/data/old.zip". This saves about 95MB of space from previous module
-Fixed "Forensics Mode" option not showing up under Manual Malware Removal menu
-Changed and fixed some text on multiple menus
-Added "blacklist.txt", "greylist.txt", and "whitelist.txt" to "/data/scripts/lists/".

Archives can then be made in future builds to automatically "quarantine" potential baddies for analysis. Parts of Auto Mode will incorporate this to a smaller extent

-Added a /wait switch for Sophos scanner in Auto Mode
-Removed vipre from Auto Mode until it can be launched and wait for the next action to happen

This is easily changeable by simply renaming the file to whatever mode you want to force.

-Added the ability to change the destination directory for Module Injection. The Base Path will remain the same (%module%\data) to avoid issues, but any new directories can be created and used after "\data". If you changed it to "injected", then the new full path would be "%module%\data\injected"

-Cleaned up code for launch and update scripts in Antivir module. The filesize was reduced by over 60MB by using only the *.GZ files from the updates, and decompressing the *.VDF files from them when launching the scanner only. *.VDF files are cleaned up after scanning is finished and only original and updated *.GZ files remain.
