[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1084158"] Security deficiencies. Interesting topic. Since around 2003 when the government first listed about lolbins vulnerability it's been well known and established. MS has made it well known since then if it is not needed it should be disabled. Windows obviously was never meant to be a home user product as it's evident when you realize none of these users set an admin account and place standard ones on as designed, it's security and process too hard for most to figure out. Both MS and products will protect users from themselves to a point and then hide behind the EULA beyond that point, placing blame on the end user. Many vendors have their hands full because average users can barely install products like Eset, let alone know their infected, but they will certainly figure out how to disable a product to install something they want on their system bad enough. So does it make sense to harden the product out of the box or to place advanced settings for those that know and can. So let's be honest, who is covering up deficiencies and who is addressing them in the only manor effectively available. [/QUOTE]
