I understand why you did it, I just don't agree with the result. The
log file is hidden away in a menu that a casual user will hopefully
never find. But for people who know the difference between R.A.M.  and
a Ram, I want that information. Thats why I bought Stiller's product.
I guess the main reason I want the information is because scanners are
only useful if the virus is already known or a close variant. But
change detection gives me a shot at protecting myself from the vast
unknown number of viruses.
