Well... lets see...
Anti-spyware and anti-virus programs have gotten better in the last few years. Since there has been a boom in the number of spyware, adware, and virus attacks, this only makes sense.
Yet all of the programs have a similar problem, especially when it comes to having to decipher the pop-ups you get from your real time scanner. They only tell you simple things like "program32.exe is trying to install itself to the registry." What do you do?
Well, if you are installing a program, it is safe to say that the alert is talking about something you are installing, even if you don't recognize the file name. But when you are browsing the internet you might get some alerts. Is it ok to install this file? Do you need it to view the page correctly (like flash or java)?
These programs need to give more info on the files so you can make a better decision.
For those of you having this problem, you can turn to liutilities.com to figure out what those system processes are and if they are good for your system.
