[QUOTE="plat1098, post: 711934"] Ah, great subject--my standalones Sandboxie and HitmanPro.Alert likewise show borders: yellow and green respectively and I relied on this heavily to reassure me security is in effect. If there are hints about the AV suggesting untrustworthiness, then I would consider it "optical manipulation." But these are trusted, so these indicators are important, necessary and reassuring. Can you blame anyone for feeling like a free product isn't as secure? "You get what you pay for." I think it's more a mindset and depends on what you select and how you use it. . [/QUOTE]
