About Unlocker?

Unlocker is a powerful software tool designed to bypass the locking protection commonly applied to system files. Its primary function is to terminate processes that are utilizing a specific file, allowing users to safely delete, rename, or move the file as needed. Unlocker operates as a user-friendly graphical interface application and also offers a command-line interface through an administrative console for advanced users. Additionally, it has the capability to terminate processes and unload application extensions. This software utilizes OpenCandy for advertising purposes during the installation process.
