We are also looking into allowing customers to override and show the
icon at all times if they want.
How about looking into a program that scans every single CLSID and
registry item even if it takes 4 hours (to be done while we're away) and
includes every viral infection and malware intrusion/worm since the
beginning of Windows 95? It's impossible to surf the web without
intrusion. Doing a Google search, I find that even some tech sites are
just copies of usenet newsgroups and send questionable cookies.
The whole idea of the registry started what amounts to a bad GM engine
from the 1970's. There are all kinds of bugs and holes to plug in there
and a small malware program just won't do it. Microsoft should be
issuing the best free AV programs and anti-spyware known to the computer
industry. There's no reason why private software manufacturers should be
making fortunes because of an increasing computer infection problem.
Haven't you guys at Microsoft noticed that the tech forum and newsgroup
activity has increase greatly over the last several years with poor souls
posting their Hijackthis scans? Can't you at least create a program
similar to Hijackthis with an immediate respone when an automatic log is
created and sent?
