I will know if it's good when I actually test it for a while. I just updated last night.

It is testing the same on my end, but I did find that once in a while a program that is allowed to be auto-quarantined is sent to the quarantine folder, but does not show up in the GUI quarantine list. Other than that I can find nothing so far. Minor GUI thingy.

I really like how they implemented a solution to escape the AV institutes' moron radar while not breaking functionality for people who can tie their own shoes in the morning. No change in philosophy and the function can be turned on or off at your leisure. Great job. :)

This is good addition imo, at least for all the noob users who doesn't want to see a pop-up asking if a program should be allowed to run or not. And for other users it doesn't matter, provided they can disable it.

'Moron Radar', :D. Call it whatever you like, but it still represents how the majority of users behave in a similar situation.

I know @rockstarrocks, it sure does. :D I still don't like that the testers cater to and enforce that behavior.
Give a man a fish and he'll be fed for the day. Teach him how to fish… you get my drift. ;)

It's about a time, remember that any product should also align to be user friendly throughout the all level of users. If the BB is already smart enough then why not implement an auto-response? Good addition from Emsisoft.
