1. Issue with running real-time AV:
You said: "Basically, many real-time antivirus products suck. For example, if a power tool, such as jv16 PowerTools scans the entire hard
disk......This can make the product to work very slow.
Another thing is when real-time antivirus scanner starts to analyze jv16
PowerTools itself....cause the program to start longer than normally....can cause the internal startup code of the PowerTools to crash and...can hang."
The problem is
2. Interface overly complicated & configuring a chore:
You said: "Well, one can either add new features or not. If new features
aren't added the product seems obsolete and outdated, if new features are added there will be more functions (buttons, icons etc.) in the user
interface and some people can think that as the program getting
complicated."
The earlier products had a certain elegance & optimal functionality, a
nice balance. Features can be added/dropped/improved, that's cool, but it's the engine of each feature that's most important. Limit the configuration choices to a select important relative few. For example, I like to use the marking of history dates for Software & Registry entries, to easily see what has been added NEW to the registry, after installing a program, driver, etc.. So, it's important to be able to do that easily & quickly in the configuring interface.
3. The new registry cleaner engine, how well it works, info provided:
You said: "....new scanning module called the Leftover Software scanner which is able to find leftover registry entries and keys of uninstalled software...ability to detect entries which don't have any file or directory references.... list you the invalid or obsolete registry entries but also analyzes what happens if you remove these invalid items...it prints an organized list of the found registry errors, not the erroneous registry
entries and keys but the actual registry errors themselves. The list of
registry keys and entries is still available for advanced users, of course."
4. Thanks again jv for your original reg work over the years! :)
