First of all thank you for a great job. Since its Windows XP Security Essentials incarnation I consider it the best choice for Windows PCs protection.
But bloody please add an option to turn off hunting for "hack tools". As an advanced user, SMB admin and private programmer I use NirSoft tools and also keygens for my own apps but Windows vigorously deletes NirSoft (and perhaps some SysInternals also, but I'm not sure) tools and every keygen it would notice. So I have to disable it. It has even deleted qBitTorrent once although it is a perfectly legitimate app and I use it to download legal things like Linux distros and legitimately purchased Humble Bundle stuff.
Why can't I [with reasonable ease] configure it to only watch for real viruses/spyware/ransomware which really threatens to infect the PC?
In my opinion we even have to consider actual pirates using really illegal keygens because this simple fact: there are many of such in mediocrely developed countries, they get confused, disable the protection, get infected and join the botnets. Even when there is a criminal we dislike to support and want to punish, we don't want them to get infected with anything and spread the infection further.
There should be clear distinction between unquestionable malware everyone wants and needs to be protected from for everyone's good vs questionable apps some people (justifiably or not) actually want to use for sake of their pragmatic interest.
