A couple of years ago, I told Tom M. it would be nice if the website blocking tool had a device that signaled the user when it was working, so they would know how hard MBAM was working. I have always complained to Tom, that you guys are fantastic at writing antimalware programs, but you are crappy salesmen. There is nothing wrong with tooting your own horn once in a while, especially when you have such a great product!! It's no secret other programs instruct their users to download and scan (then uninstall ) MBAM when their product fails. Anyway, having seen people mentioning the balloon indicating MBAM is at work, I can't figure it out. I have never had any notification with my computer! Since it WAS MY IDEA, is this Tom's way of getting back to me for being such a pain in the ass??? phil, seattle (tee hee)
