As I feel that the arbitrary use of extensions by the Home User presents a greater threat for the lifting of personal information than typical malware ever would, this application can be groundbreaking- as long as it has an updated list of malicious extensions.

Nonetheless, it still essentially a "Portable' application as it needs no installation, so it will do no harm.

My Thanks to Mop for the post!

It says *potentally*.
And it’s a first beta, many things to polish before the final release
