Tigzy,

Your talking yourself into an intellectually dishonest hole and ignoring basic facts in an attempt to sidestep the issue at hand.

The entire purpose of this thread was to point out that YOUR software initiates MULTIPLE browser sessions when used to cleanup a machine. You wish to quibble about the number of sessions, their exact timing, their classification as "pop ups" vs "browser windows", etc. 

You are now attempting, with a straight face, to say that opening browser session during the cleanup of a machine has NO potential to re-infect that machine. Laughable, at best.

You have serially taken almost every one of my remarks out of context or quibbled irrelevancies to obfuscate the simple issue at hand. Your software initiates browser sessions that are counter productive to the process of cleaning a PC infected with malware. PERIOD.

I never said that. I'm just (trying) to explain the purpose of that.
For that very particular case, I told you to use command line switches. They were made for that.
In some cases, killing processes can lead to BSOD. So we made the -nokill switch
In some cases, loading the antirootkit can lead to BSOD. So we made the -nodriver switch.

Teaching people is far more important than taking in account a behaviour that happens in less than 1% of cases.
Listen, that will not change. PERIOD.

My comments have NOTHING to do with command line options or rootkits or BSOD, but thanks AGAIN for trying to change the subject. Each of your responses has followed the same pattern.

The bottom line is that your software initiates several browser sessions and those sessions jeopordize the very process of cleaning an infected computer. You pulled the "less than 1% of cases" nunber out of your ass and do not intend to FIX the software because you use the browser sessions to generate affiliate ad-revenue. Moreover, as time passes your site includes more and nore affiliate ads and deceptive download buttons, many of which end up leading to PUP software themselves. You speak of "education" but the reality is that a large portion of those infected are infected from clicking deceptive links JUST LIKE those that appear on your site. I guess if you cant beat them... join them?

What you say is wrong, there's not more, not less ads than since the beginning. If you're against all of that, there's a donation link in the software.
