Marcs Updater
There have been some reports about issues with the Updater not updating anymore. Please try the latest beta version and switch to another IP Check provider instead of the previous default dnsomatic.com. For some reason they are rate-limiting the number of requests to their service. The new IP Check provider selection allows you to choose another provider in such cases. You can test the functionality with the new "Test" panel.
If you want to add a custom provider to the unstable testing version, store a JSON file like the following under %PROGRAMDATA%\Marcs Updater\ServiceProviders\dyndns.json:
{
"name": "DynDNS.org (Test)",
"endpoint": "https://members.dyndns.org/nic/update",
"method": "GET",
"queryString": "hostname={HOSTNAME}&myip={MYIP}",
"dataPayload": "",
"defaults": {
"username": "test",
"password": "test",
"hostname": "test1.customtest.dyndns.org"
}
}Supported query and payload tags are {USERNAME}, {PASSWORD}, {HOSTNAME} and {MYIP}. Restart the background service and foreground application to apply any changes.

Hi, The latest version causes some headache.
I run windows 7 64bit. Now every time after computer boots, I get UAC(User account Control) asking me if I'm to allow this program.

Hi, did you uninstall and then re-install the new version instead of updating? This is currently recommended, because the current installer is unable to remove the 32bit version if it is running on a 64bit machine.

I have an idea of why this is happening.. Every time I login to windows. The main window of Marcs Updater pops up. I think that is what requires the admin priveleges.
Is there a way to make this new version not to pop-up every time windows starts?

I would recommend to look into the software list on the Control Panel and try to uninstall all instances of Marcs Updater, because there might be two installations since the 64bit update. After you have uninstalled all versions, you can try re-installing the program. I am sorry for the trouble the update has caused you, I guess I need to figure out a better way to upgrade 64bit users from the 32bit version.

Try updating to the latest version. The 64bit installer automatically uninstalls the 32bit version and this should fix your issues.
