    You can contact 3D Universe : https://www.3duniverse.co.za/contact-us

    But I guess the support of this 2008 software ended.

    Texture Converter 2 itself was withdrawn from the store, 3DU has said, in part because one of its libraries was being misidentified as a virus/malware by just about every antivirus program. (The library did frequently get used in malware, but was not itself malware, just a convenient piece to use.) It was a critical library, and would have required them to completely rewrite the program from scratch, and it just didn't seem worth it at that point in time.

    I've never understood why the plugins were left in the store, though.

    For those that already bought TC2 to buy the plugins they lack.

    Just add it to your AV program's exclusion list.  AV vendors are also capable of whitelisting programs, though I don't know if they're all equally willing to do it.

    Map Transfer can convert the Millennium 4 textures, just the ability to convert the maps from Millennium 3, Miki 2.0 and Skye is lost.
