So we are getting back to the question implicitly posed in the blog post/news about this update: if the software use is perfectly legitimate and the user knows they have a remote access software installed on their PC, why would they want to stop it? But if they want to stop it, why would anyone prohibit them from doing so? Except only in a business setting where computers do not belong to employees - but it should be handled by policies on the network/Active Directory level. they don't want the Host running on their computer, so they are perfectly in their own right stopping it they are an advanced user, apparently, if they know about services.msc and use it to stop the Host at all costs

If the user wants to stop the Host running on their PC using services.msc, then: it can also be done via services.mscThere is a broader question - why would the technician want to prohibit the user from stopping the Host when they wish to do so? Provided that they know what the Host is about. however it does not seem to prevent a user from stopping the host via the start menu/all programs.
How do I prevent a user from stopping the host? I reviewed the information in your blog post. the actual addition or removal, but there a long process of discussing and thinking a few months or even years prior to that where we weigh all pros and cons.
You can only see the end result of it, i.e.
The same is true just about any other feature that we are planning to add or remove. Our decision regarding removing the "hide tray icon" couldn't be more serious and well-thought. That was just an example, an anecdote as I'm trying to sound as human rather than as a corporate bot and explain our position rather than speaking like a pr person :) I'm sorry, but you misunderstood my message. (not good if you ask me.) and by the sound of it not a very experienced user at that, especially if he trusts any software that has antivirus or antimalware in its title. It sounds like your breaking/bending at the behest of 1 user. But still the user was blaming us that we were distributing malware because their tool detected us as such :)Īpparently, anything that has "antimalware" or "antivirus" in their name is unconditionally trusted and rarely anyone has any doubts about whether their antivirus program is as good in doing their job as they claim.

The developer of that tool couldn't even be contacted other than via a free Yahoo e-mail address. Recently we received a complaint from a user who was running a no-name "malware removal" tool on their PC. :) So we have to look for solutions to the problem, even if it means discontinuing certain features. Users don't care if we are right and a/v is wrong - they always blame the software and not their beloved a/v program that they trust so much. We need to be profitable and these false positives may negatively affect our sales and overall image. I think you should leave the security decisions to your customers and the AV software.We would gladly leave the security decisions to AV vendors, but apparently some of them are not capable of making good decisions, so much so that they even hurt their own customers by not letting them use legitimate, digitally signed software the way their customers want. The reality is that for an average a/v vendor it is easier to label something as "potentially dangerous" instead of coming up with a smart code/system that can tell for sure whether the use is legitimate or not. if however I am the owner of the PC's (which I am) and I want the icon hidden then as the owner I would configure my antivirus program to ignore or whitelist the application. if it was installed for malicious purpose having an AV detection/warning would be great. It is based on our own research and conversations with analytics from several antivirus software vendors.Īlso if it is hidden (stealth mode) having antivirus popup to warn a user is a good thing. It was our own decision, of course, and it didn't came out of nothing.
