[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 885084, member: 83059"] I think you should only be using power cleaning tools like Norton Power Eraser or similar products if you strongly suspect your system was already compromised by malware. For example, if you executed malware and your AV didn't react to it (hopefully in the context of malware testing!). Or you're asked to help clean up a family member's machine, etc. NPE and similar tools will scrutinize your system for any sort of unusual configuration that could be indicative of malware, but it could also be indicative of a variety of normal actions that people take. For example, you might've run some PowerShell script for changing hidden power management settings or other things that resulted in changing your execution policy. I think it's more important to understand why the setting originally changed... [/QUOTE]
