New: General warning for possible compatibility issues with other already installed Anti-virus/Anti-Malware programs, during installation.

For those unware, there have been some reports over at the Emsisoft forum of people having issues when installing Emsisoft, only to discover it was simply due to the fact they had other antimalware/antivirus installed as well. So, it seems this is Emsisoft's way of trying to stop users from doing that.

Fixed: Application rules: ‘always block’ rules were not applied.

A few months ago I decided to test the 'always block' option on an application. It didn't worked. After some time I discovered you actually needed to reboot your computer for the rule to apply. At the time I wasn't to concern about it and I ended up forgetting about it until someone reported the issue at the forum.

Wow, honestly, that's a creepy oversight. Didn't use it yet, but if I did I'd want to be able to rely on it for sure.
