Guest superc Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 It would probably be really helpful (why is this text so tiny?) if Microsoft published the entire list of files associated with Defender and other MS products, including the temporary ones. Right now my machine's ProcessGuard had trapped and disallowed many new files which keep trying to run. MrT, mrtstub, mpsigstub, etc. Only today does a time consuming search of Google identify many of them as good MS files (vs Bad MS files such as Alexa or Messenger or the remote access files). Not doing so creates the wrong atmosphere by implying the files existence should be hidden from the machine owner least he realize it is spyware. Of course once the customer detects a "secret file" he/she SHOULD view it as potential malware as a legitimate and bonafide program would have been named in a small list found in the 'read me.txt' file that came with the initial install.
