I often expect things to work and they don't so I thought I might mention a time when I did not expect a thing to work and it did. 
I am changing my C'YaPass app so you can save the web site's password requirements along with your siteKey. That will mean the app will remmeber each sites's pwd requirements like Yahoo!, for example, requires uppercase, max length of 32 and 1 special char.
Anyways, currently the SiteKey objects are simply stored in a json file (serialized) and then deserialized when the program loads. Very simple.
However, to do the new work it means the SiteKey object and the json behind it would be different. I'm adding new property values to the SiteKey class.
I figured that was going to be very difficult since the new app would expect the new property values that obviously weren't there.
However, I found that the NewtonSoft Deserializer handles all that behind the scenes.
1. It simply reads the old json and deserializes the old json into my new objects (which contain new properties)
2. serializes the objects back out with default values where the user has not provided the values yet
Very cool, Newtonsoft!

Json.NET is probably the best JSON serializer I have ever used. It can handle pretty much anything thrown at it, and is rather foolproof. Any exception thrown by it also has a descriptive message.

Newtonsoft is awesome... I love what you can do with custom converters... I even wrote a detailed article on it!

Newtonsoft/JSON.Net is an industry standard. You are realizing something a lot of us have known and worked with for years.

JSON.NET has consistently been one of the best standard use products in the C# ecosystem.
Unfortunately I find myself using it less and less as more of my projects implement YAML (for user-configured options) and BSON (for web communication). Every time I write a shim for one of those parsers, I miss Newtonsoft just a little more.

Hi,
Before anyone gets upset, I'm here because I am not sure where to turn. I have a child mostly bedridden, and using games on his Kindle Fire gets him through medical procedures such as IV infusions, etc. When he is in a lot of pain, he dives into Kindle games.
I did a little research (I don't have vast amounts of time with sickly kids - yup two of 'em) and found that supposedly if I downloaded one of the virus cleaners from the Amazon App Store from within the Kindle, it should have been vetted and virus free. But it didn't make it better, and could have made it worse. My son does not want to lose his progress on Pixel Gun 3D, nor his other games. He's been playing for a long time (more than he should have, but due to painful nights, he has a lot of time logged into games), so he would be devastated to lose everything. So rebooting is out. He doesn't need yet another disappointment. He can't play soccer anymore, he can't even go outside, he is missing a ton of school, and now his Kindle is misbehaving. Talk about his "last straw." And he can't even play with his nerf guns because it hurts his IV arm. I want something to go right for him.
Any recommendations of something to clean up his Kindle without losing everything? He has Kindle Fire HD 8.0. Please help. I've tried searching sites, but it is too time consuming and I'd rather be beside his side, or with his sister, than trying a bunch of things that don't work.
Thank you,
blueSprite

Malwarebytes has a version for Android / Kindle. I have it on my mom's Kindle, and it has stopped over 300 infection attempts.

Thank you, I will try that. Does it catch viruses that are already on the Kindle, or does it only prevent new ones in the process of trying to put themselves on the device?
BTW, the "Message Closed" below is because I accidentally posted the same message twice. I didn't want anyone to think I posted anything nasty that had to be removed!
Thank you for your response,

It's basically a full antivirus. It finds anything already on the device, and catches any further attempts. Running it manually every so often can't hurt either.
I also use Malwarebytes on my family's other systems as well, as it can find things that are basically brand new.

Some of us have been particularly *cough* grouchy *cough* this fine Monday morning, and then we read your post. I'm an asshat.
Best of luck, blueSprite ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Thanks. I'm hoping I can return here soon with great reports of good health for both little ones. Then I'll jump in the fray of whatever is going on here that day  Hope all is well with you and your loved ones - pls give them all extra hugs today.

Ha ha, no! In air-conditioned comfort, with large windows letting in these views[^].
Can't eat anything crunchy for a week as I've just had 8 front teeth worked on. Freedom next Thursday when my temporary veneers are history.
