You can post another 100 with all the new rogues. There are purchasable kits to roll your
own.

Just passing these along as a courtesy to the MBAM folks, Dave.

Was not aware that Rogue A-V's could be rolled out of available software.

For sure. That's why there are so many and some have very similar GUI's.

Bottom line, Dave - folks need to know - old timers like you and me and many others find
this sorta thing a bit mundane and I do agree.

I suppose the roll your own UI is OK for the Rogue A-V purveyors but not for those Joe Users
with crappy security and security settings.

I'd sonner post something that would make a user aware of a great freeware app like MBAM
than hearing from someone asking where is the best place to have an HJT Log looked at.

Many boards are going away from HJT, btw - I still use it.

Regards,

I am well aware of the fact that Merijn does some work for MBAM.

A weekly Rogues summary posting, that's an idea that I will take under consideration.

The SWW Board is not a board that I necessarily agree with, to be polite.
Whatever the consensus decided there is not cast in stone for others to assume as Biblical.
