[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 582640, member: 32547"] True and it's great that software companies like Emsisoft and some others are providing software that just simply protects. I like Wave's thinking about options to choose in a way :), but I consider that users sometimes don't realize for example that an installer isn't signed or they don't know of the reputation specifically of a file, etc. Pop up makes recommendation->user says "that's not enough for my bull head to believe"->"Oh my PC is infected: I don't understand...:eek:". In the case of choices, I feel better pop ups would be required for some of the security programs I have installed and run. I admit I would like more info on pop ups and choices, and I do like to see them when there is an issue. They help me backtrack my decisions, so I can hopefully avoid the same mistake twice. It is also, however, nerve racking being on the edge of a crippling malicious event. Layering is my only way out. VoodooShield has good pop up information. So then VS placed as an add on to a set and forget program like Emsisoft is a good concept for users who require choices, is it not? Seriously, I can understand users wanting to learn from their choices with pop ups and so on. Wish I could use VS free (command line issues), but NVT ERP is a good substitute for me. [/QUOTE]
